Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67

Aubree and Frieda watched as Roxanne’s figure disappeared from the door. Then, they went over to a window seat and sat down.

“Aubree. what exactly is your deal with that Dr. Jarvis? You seem to know each other, but your relationship isn’t that great?” Frieda queried cautiously with her eyes pinned on the woman across from her.

Aubree was so livid that she had steam coming out of her ears. “How could our relationship be great? Roxanne Jarvis is Lucian’s ex-wife!”

If it weren’t for her, my marriage to Lucian would’ve been a sure thing ages ago!

Shock flooded Frieda when she heard that. “She’s Lucian’s ex-wife?”

It was no secret within their circle that Lucian was once married six years ago, especially among them who grew up with him.

However, they had also thought that Aubree would be the man’s future wife until he got married out of the blue.

His spouse had never appeared before them, and he had rarely mentioned her outside.

Hence, no one knew that woman’s identity even after they divorced.

I never expected it to be her.

The scene whereby Lucian and Roxanne met that night played in Frieda’s mind.

Back then, I naively found it strange that Lucian targeted that woman for no reason yet insisted that I apologize to her. It turns out that such is their relationship.

At that thought, she belatedly lamented, “No wonder Lucian defended her that day.”

Sharply catching that remark, Aubree demanded coldly, “What are you saying? Lucian defended her? What was that about?”

Recalling the events that night, Frieda wore an expression of sheer disgruntlement and promptly griped, “It was the night she came knocking on our door, requesting to treat Grandpa. I merely made a few skeptical remarks about her since she looks so young and no one knows whether she really has such capabilities, but both Lucian and Essie asked me to apologize to her!”
