The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
Chapter 1354

Chapter 1354

By the time Lucian hung up and returned to the private room, he saw Roxanne lowering her head and reading something on herphone.

The scowl on her face made him frown. He figured she was reading the contents of the discussion.“You know about it already?” Lucian asked as he walked over to sit beside her.

Roxanne did not look up. She kept her eyes fixed on the post that was constantly updating with insulting comments targeted ather.

There were also comments that speculated the background of Archie and Benny.

Roxanne could bear the insults hurled at her. However, she could not help but feel bad when her children were dragged into themess as well.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?”Estella was oblivious to the discussions online. She inched over to show her concern.

It was then that Roxanne snapped back to her senses. Putting away her phone hastily, she flashed Estella a smile as if nothinghappened. “It’s nothing. Eat up.”

With that, she cast Archie and Benny an apologetic glance.

The boys had guessed there were changes to the discussions on the internet.

They surmised the reason Roxanne was giving them that look was that they had been dragged into the discussion as well.Not wanting to make Roxanne worry, they feigned ignorance and smiled meekly.

At the same time, Benny secretly clenched his fists.

That evil woman must've done something again. I'll teach her a lesson once | get back to my laptop.

“I'm sorry. It’s my fault for not dealing with it properly.” Lucian gazed into the woman’s eyes with worry.

Before entering the private room, he had read the discussions online, which were filled with insulting and degrading commentstoward Roxanne.

Immediately, he knew she would be upset if she read them.

Glancing at the children, Roxanne whispered to Lucian, “Let's talk after the meal.”

She did not want the children to learn of the matter.

Understanding her intention, Lucian nodded with a heavy heart and said nothing else.

Thankfully, they had a peaceful meal after changing private rooms.

Archie and Benny were worried about the discussion that they lost the mood to fool around. They simply ate their food in silence.The meal was a gloomy one.

Once they finished the food, Lucian drove them straight to Roxanne’s house.

Roxanne stayed downstairs with Lucian after telling the children to go upstairs first.

“I'm sorry | didn’t deal with this properly. | didn’t expect Aubree to pull such a move after that lesson.”

Lucian’s heart was filled with fury.He hated himself for not dealing with Aubree using his methods.

Lowering her head, Roxanne uttered, “I’m not bothered about what they’re saying about me. This isn’t the first time, anyway. |just hope that Archie and Benny won’t get dragged into this mess. They have nothing to do with this.”

Lucian felt a twinge in his heart. “I know. I'll settle this as quickly as possible.”

When he finished his sentence, he gave her a conflicted look and asked cautiously, “It’s been so long. Can you tell me whoArchie and Benny's father is already?”

Every time he pictured Roxanne with another man, he could not help but feel mad, not to mention she had children with anotherman.

Regardless, all he wanted at that moment was to keep her by his side.

No matter how much he cared about the past, he had no choice but to feign indifference.After all, the boys shared Roxanne’s blood, too.

Lucian would still treat Archie and Benny as if they were his own.

Still, he could not help but feel curious about their father’s identity.
