The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1010

Chapter 1010 That Is All

However, Roxanne had no idea that Jack had found out about her past. That was why Jack raised his brows and looked at Cayden when he heard her denial.

Once again, Cayden felt unjust on Lucian’s behalf. Despite Lucian being ill, he still insisted on helping Roxanne. Cayden could not understand why she was so ungrateful.

Furthermore, she seemed so secretive about her relationship with Lucian. It was as though Lucian was an embarrassment! In spite of his thoughts, there was no way Cayden could express them outright in front of Jack.

“These medicinal herbs are difficult to find. Mr. Farwell has transferred nearly all of the remaining medicinal herbs from Herbscape Group.”

Roxanne’s heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to calm down quickly. “Please convey my thanks to Mr. Farwell. However—”

As far as Roxanne was concerned, Lucian did that in order to compensate for making use of her in the past. Therefore, she had no intention to accept his gift.

Moreover, Jack had already provided them with sufficient medicinal herbs. Before she could finish her sentence, Jack cut in. “Since this is a nice gesture from Mr. Farwell, I reckon you should kindly accept it, Ms. Jarvis.”

With a serious look on his face, Jack looked at Roxanne before he continued, “Our research is going to be more complicated in the future. There’s no harm in having more medicinal herbs.”

Anyway, they’re free. Why not?

Roxanne hesitated again. Cayden could not stand it any longer. Even though Lucian was ill, he still thought of her and tried to assist her. At the end of the day, she was actually planning not to accept his gift.

Just as Cayden was about to open his mouth, Roxanne finally nodded. “Please thank Mr. Farwell for his kindness.” Roxanne then nodded at Cayden with gratitude.

For some strange reason, Cayden felt a twinge in his heart. Does Ms. Jarvis accept these medicinal herbs because she wants them?

Or is she doing it because of what Jack tells her? Cayden could hardly breathe when he saw that another man had to convince Roxanne to accept Lucian’s kind gift.

As for Roxanne, she did not spare the matter any further thought. Instead, she went forward to check the herbs before getting her staff to carry them in.

“If there’s nothing else, I will make a move first. Grandpa is still waiting for my report on the medical consultation.”
