The Abandoned Wife

Roxanne was moved when she heard Benny's sincere words, and she began to waver.

Lucian had already laid the groundwork. If Roxanne took the chance and told him the real identities of Archie and Benny, they could let things fall into place and be together. That way, they could also provide the three kids with a complete, happy family.

"Mommy, what are you guys talking about?"

Having been neglected by the trio for quite a while, Estella approached them unhappily.

Roxanne snapped out of her thoughts at the girl's voice. She reached out and pulled Estella into her embrace, asking, "Essie, do you want Daddy and I to live together?"

She seemed to be implying that she was ready to say yes to Lucian.

Immediately, the three children's eyes lit up.

Archie and Benny turned to Estella, who nodded firmly and answered in a childish voice, "Yes! I want Daddy and you to be together!"

Roxanne's eyes softened following Estella's words.
