The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1270

Soon, the police arrived.

Colby was then escorted into the police car by the police.

Before leaving, he glanced back over his shoulder and took a long look at Roxanne.

Roxanne merely held his gaze for a second before she promptly averted her eyes.

Truth be told, she didn’t quite know how to face the man.

At the sight of her avoiding his gaze, Colby gave a bitter chuckle that dripped with self-deprecation. He cooperatively got into the police car.

A massive hand stroked her head.
