The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1540

Since he would be joining her in meeting Jack tomorrow, Lucian didn’t bother asking her too much about it. The two then went to bed in each other’s arms.

Roxanne felt it was a little inappropriate at first, but felt it was nothing compared to what they did yesterday night. With that in mind, she lay obediently in his arms and fell asleep shortly after.

The two of them got up early the next morning, and Lucian drove her to the research institute.

While waiting for Jack to show up, they went through the terms of the contract together.

With Lucian’s guidance, Roxanne was able to be more confident about the details of the contract.

Jack arrived at Roxanne’s office at around nine in the morning.

The look on his face turned gloomy when he saw Roxanne sitting on a single-cushion couch while Lucian sat on a longer one next to hers. Lucian was in a relaxed posture and seemed to be discussing something with Roxanne.

Although the two of them were sitting on separate couches, their interactions looked very intimate.

“Hello, Mr. Damaris,” Roxanne greeted him with a smile when she noticed him standing there.

With Lucian around, she was able to relax and interact with Jack more naturally.

After taking a second to regain his composure, Jack flashed her a smile before shifting his gaze toward Lucian.

“What a coincidence, Mr. Farwell. I didn’t know you would be here too. Ms. Jarvis and I have some business to discuss, though. If possible, could you perhaps—”

Jack was trying to politely ask Lucian to leave, but Lucian cut him off with a warning gaze before he could finish his sentence.
