Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1367

Chapter 1367

I have never needed to inform Lucian about impending business trips, but things are different now. Knowing how much he dislikes Jack, I should inform him it is with Jack I'm making this trip. I have gotten so used to leaving whenever work crops up for the past six years that I would have forgotten if not for Benny's reminder.

Benny watched his mother's expression soften and knew his timely words worked. Although his face glistened with anticipation, he was also silently urging his father to hurry up.

Roxanne fell silent for a long while before grabbing her phone to give Lucian a call.

Just when she found his number, a horn sounded outside the mansion.

Somehow knowing exactly who it was, Roxanne put her phone away and walked to the entrance with her suitcase in tow.

She saw Lucian's Bentley at the door. Clad in a smoky gray vest with sleeves rolled up halfway, he emerged from the car and strode toward her.

“What are you doing here?”

Roxanne had a funny feeling as she watched him approach.

Lucian frowned at her luggage. “What about you? Where are you going?”

Roxanne followed his gaze and felt a twinge of guilt about her business trip with Jack.

Unwilling to discuss it in the children's presence, she said carefully, “I'm going to Jadeborough for a business trip. I was about to tell you when you came.”

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Lucian came over and took her luggage.

Roxanne frowned in puzzlement. “What are you doing?”

He placed her suitcase in the car while she followed suspiciously behind.
