The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1374

“Let’s go for a walk outside,” Lucian suggested after pocketing his phone.

Roxanne assumed he didn’t like the interior of the pasta restaurant. She didn’t ponder over his request and nodded obligingly.

After they paid for their meal, Lucian got up and took Roxanne’s suitcase. They then walked out of the restaurant.

As they strolled along the street, surrounded by the mountains, Roxanne and Lucian felt the temperature was just right despite it being past noon. Although the sun should be shining brightly, the foliage provided ample shade to keep the heat at bay.

Roxanne might be in a hurry to head to Jadeborough, but she couldn’t help but relax in such an environment.

“Do you like it here?”

Lucian’s expression softened when he discovered that she seemed relaxed.

Roxanne’s lips curled as she nodded. “When I first went overseas, I had the privilege of accompanying Professor Lambert on a number of excursions to the mountains, where we would search for herbs. Later, I had to stay in the lab. I do miss the feeling of being out in the wilderness but never had the chance to do so again.”

Lucian’s eyes dimmed as conflicted feelings rose in his heart.

He believed that Roxanne had experienced a great deal of hardship, but it appeared that she had actually been quite content.

“Don’t you find this place beautiful?” Roxanne stared at him, her eyes sparkling under the sunlight.

Lucian was momentarily dazed. He quickly regained his composure and gave a brief nod.

Indeed, this town was scenic.

Nevertheless, the most important thing was that she loved it.

They strolled ahead for some time until Roxanne realized it was pretty late. Concerned, she demanded to know the progress of the repair.

“Is the car done yet? If it’s still getting repaired, I’m afraid we’ll have to spend the night here. There is no hotel in this town.”

Lucian fished his phone out to call the workshop.
