The Abandoned Wife

Meanwhile, Roxanne knew nothing about the online controversy.

After breakfast, she took the kids to the beach.

At first, Archie and Benny were a little worried about the changes in public opinion on the internet, but they instantly forgot about it the moment they got into the car.

Roxanne had not taken them on a road trip in a while, so they looked forward to it. They were especially excited that she brought Estella along.

"Mommy, where are we going?" Estella kept calling Roxanne "Mommy" as if she wanted to make up for the years she missed.

While observing the change of scenery outside the car, Archie and Benny could not help but ask curiously, "Mommy, it seems you're driving out of town. You're not planning to sell us now that you have Essie, are you?"

Benny acted shocked and pleaded in a tender, babylike voice, "Mommy, please don't do this to us! We're good kids, and we'll help look after our little sister!"

Estella, too, nodded earnestly. "If you insist, sell me along with them as well!" However, not long after making that remark, she tilted her head, looking troubled. "But I love Mommy very much too. Mommy, don't sell us, please?"
