The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1498

Lucian’s embrace was a tight one, for he was terrified that she would leave. “Don’t go.”

He yearned to see her. He wanted to feel her in his arms, but he was afraid that he would frighten the children, so he had to restrain himself from doing so.

Now that Roxanne had come, there was no way Lucian was going to let her go easily.

Roxanne did not know whether it was just her hallucination or not, but she sensed that Lucian seemed anxious.

After a second of hesitation, she raised her arms to return the hug and whispered, “I’m not going to leave. I wanted to say that I’ll be waiting downstairs if you’re not free.”

She was there for the children, after all; she would not leave in peace until she received answers to her questions.

It was then Lucian slowly relaxed his grip on her.

After patting his back soothingly, Roxanne moved away from his arms and asked, “What happened? Why are you…”

Lucian slowly calmed down as he gazed at her.

However, when he thought about the results of his interrogation, an iciness crept into his voice. “Ophelia poured lubricant on your brakes. She was also the one who got Benny injured the last time.”

Roxanne’s eyes widened. “Why would she do that?”

She did not remember when she had crossed Ophelia, and she could not wrap her head around why Ophelia would want her and her children dead.

“Aubree’s the one behind this.” Lucian’s tone took on an even more glacial tone. “I nearly lost you again.”

Roxanne snapped her brows together at the mention of Aubree’s name.
