The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1381

Not wanting to escalate the situation, Roxanne apologized and adjusted her chair a little.

The drunkards’ eyes lit up with lust when they saw her pretty face and amazing figure.

Roxanne frowned in discomfort when she noticed them ogling her body.

That was when she heard Lucian standing up next to her.

She had wanted to stop him as she thought he was going to start a fight with the drunkards, but he simply stepped in front of her and shielded her with his large frame.

“Given how packed this place is, it’s common for people to bump into each other. Of course, since you all think we’re at fault here, I’ll take responsibility and make it up to you guys. Which table are you seated at? I’ll have the stall owner put your expenses on my bill,” Lucian said while glaring at the drunkards.

Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.

Oh, thank goodness… I thought Lucian was actually going to fight them! He may be skilled and all, but they have us outnumbered, so we’d be at a huge disadvantage.

She assumed the drunkards would leave them alone after hearing what Lucian said, but they were far from being satisfied with that.

One of the drunkards snorted disdainfully and said, “Hmph! We don’t need you to pay for us!” He then shifted his lecherous gaze toward Roxanne. “That girl you’re with, however, looks mighty fine! We’ll let this slide if she drinks with us tonight!”

Roxanne tensed up and began to panic when she saw him reaching out to grab her.

Right as she was on the verge of freaking out, Lucian pulled her into his embrace and moved her away from that drunkard’s hand.
