The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1371

I can’t believe I thought Lucian stretched his hand out to hold hands with me. He’s obviously not that childish.

Noticing her silence, Lucian halted in his tracks and turned over his shoulder to ask in concern, “A penny for your thoughts?”

His voice snapped Roxanne out of her reverie. She couldn’t help but blush upon recalling the reason she fell silent. “Oh, it’s nothing.”

Lucian arched a brow. He clearly didn’t believe her explanation.

Roxanne caressed her stomach. “I’m hungry after walking this far. Is there anything to eat nearby?”

As soon as she uttered those words, Lucian acted quickly, snatching her hand before she could take it back.

Roxanne felt her heart skip a beat as she stared at their hands incredulously.

“Come on. Let’s go find a restaurant.”

Lucian pushed the suitcase with one hand and held her hand with his other. He slowed down so he could walk beside her.

Stunned, Roxanne allowed him to lead her forward.

This quaint little town, nestled in the foothills, was known for its pleasant atmosphere and peaceful surroundings. However, it wasn’t without its shortcomings as it lagged behind in terms of development.

There were only small, cheap restaurants by the road.

They walked along the entire street but failed to find one restaurant that Lucian approved of.

“This will do.”

Gradually, Roxanne calmed down and stopped in front of a restaurant that sold pasta.

She observed Lucian’s countenance with increasing amusement as it transformed into a look of disgust.

When she was abroad, she frequently journeyed with Harvey to some of the most isolated mountains and rural areas.
