The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302 She Came Alone

“Ms. Estella, have you told Mr. Farwell about this?” the driver asked.

It did not occur to him that he should ask until they were on the way.

When his question was met with dead silence, the driver knew he was in deep trouble.

She must’ve run away without telling him… I’m good as dead if Mr. Farwell finds out about it…

Thinking, the driver spared her a hesitant glance from the mirror. “How about I call him?”

“No,” Estella said, shaking her head.

I don’t want to tell him! He’s the reason why Ms. Jarvis refused to let me stay the other time. She doesn’t like Daddy. She won’t even let me in if Daddy’s around.

Since Estella was adamant about it, the driver did not push her. I’ll just call Mr. Farwell when we reach.

Soon enough, they arrived at Roxanne’s house.

Estella jumped out of the car right away, sprinted over to the door, and rang the doorbell.

Since everyone was upstairs looking after Roxanne, no one heard the doorbell.

The violent dinging slowed down as time passed when no one came to get the door. Estella was on the verge of crying again.

It was not until Lysa came downstairs to make Roxanne some oatmeal that she heard the doorbell.

She was perplexed when she saw the child at the door. “Essie! Are you here alone?”

“Ms. Lane…” she cried.

“Did you come alone?” Lysa inquired again.

Roxanne frowned and finally nodded.

She could not bring herself to let Estella wait all alone down there whenever the scene of the poor girl curling into a human ball in the pit flashed in her mind.

Since the boys had gotten a green light from Roxanne, they went downstairs to bring Estella up.

That was not the first time Estella went to Roxanne’s room. In fact, she had stayed there for a long time before. Yet she still felt nervous.

It had been forever and a day since Estella saw the beautiful woman. Besides, she was ill.
