The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1425

Roxanne’s ears turned red at the thought of what he was referring to when he mentioned the word “responsibility.” Guiltily, she glanced at the children.

The children were in sync as they pretended not to hear the conversation and savored the food.

Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief and glared at Lucian, embarrassed. “I need more time to think about it!”

Lucian shrugged before flashing her a smile. “Then I’ll just have to pursue you more persistently.”

The children rejoiced inwardly when they heard their parents’ conversation.

I wonder if Mommy has realized that her attitude toward Daddy has completely changed. With their fast progression, we’ll become a real family very soon!

It was late after they finished dinner. Lucian did not stay much longer either. He said his goodbyes and left.

The smile on Lucian’s face slowly disappeared and was replaced with an annoyed expression the moment he stepped out of Roxanne’s place.

While eating, Roxanne had briefly told him about the collaboration between her research institute and the Damaris family.

The woman was all smiles as she told him about it, but he felt bitter.

Jack is obviously coveting my woman. But, just like what the elderlies had said, we’re not working in the same industry. Even if I wanted to do something, I don’t know how.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he got.

Therefore, he decided to pull over by the side of the road and took out his phone to call Jonathan.

Jonathan had just fallen asleep when his phone rang and woke him up.

Glancing at the caller ID, he noticed it was from Lucian and involuntarily recalled what had happened previously.

The last time Lucian had called him this late at night was to get him to take down Pearson Group, which cost him a good night’s sleep.
