Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397

Naturally, Roxanne wouldn‘t tell Jonathan about the matter between her and Lucian.

Apart from that, however, she indeed had no reason to refuse a ride from Lucian.

After mulling it over, she relented in the end. She slowed her pace and walked side by side with the man.

When they reached the entrance of the parking lot, they promptly spotted Lucian a near distance away.

The man was wearing a black trench coat, standing next to his car with his back ramrod straight and his eyes fixated in their direction. The instant his eyes alighted on the woman beside Jonathan, his gaze seemingly darkened imperceptibly.

“Why didn‘t you wait in the car? It‘s so chilly,” Jonathan commented casually.

Lucian merely ordered, “Get in the car.”

Having said that, he swept his gaze over Roxanne before bending slightly and climbing into the car.

Roxanne had made up her mind to hitch a ride with him. But for some inexplicable reason, a sense of apprehension slithered into her when she laid eyes on the man.

Hence, she stood by the car, incapable of moving.

Clocking her hesitation, Jonathan urged, “Quick, get into the car, Dr. Jarvis.“.

Roxanne snapped back to her senses. Hoping to keep him from noticing any oddity, she nodded impassively and headed toward the passenger seat.

Since she had no choice but to sit in the same car with Lucian, she wanted to minimize her contact with him as much as possible.

Unfortunately, Jonathan had already opened the passenger door when she made to head over and declared, “It‘ll be too cramped with two men sitting in the back. Make do with Lucian, Dr. Jarvis.”

Right after saying that, he bent down and slid into the passenger seat.

In a flash, Roxanne was the only one lest standing outside the car. She stared at the back seat, caught between a rock and a difficult place.

She wasn‘t sure whether she was overthinking things, but everything that happened that night seemed too much of a coincidence.
