The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1568

Class had just ended at the kindergarten when Lucian’s car pulled up outside the front gate.

The two of them got out of the car and stood at the front gate as they waited for the kids.

It wasn’t long before they sensed the gazes from the other parents falling on them.

“Isn’t that Mr. Farwell? Huh, I can’t believe he’s with his ex-wife!”

“Who are you calling ‘ex-wife’? They’re about to get back together, so you need to watch what you say!”

“I’ve always felt that Ms. Jarvis had an air of sophistication about her. She and Mr. Farwell are a match made in heaven!”

As the crowd continued to gossip about them, Roxanne felt a little uncomfortable and stepped behind Lucian, lowering her head to avoid their gazes.

Having noticed her response, Lucian reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist.

As though to declare their relationship to everyone, he then pulled her into his embrace.

Roxanne’s face burned bright red when she realized people were staring at them. “Let go of me! There are lots of people watching! The kids will also be coming out soon!” she exclaimed while struggling a little in his arms.

Being seen by the parents is bad enough as it is. I don’t know what I’d do if the kids see us like this! The embarrassment would probably kill me on the spot!

However, Lucian ignored her protests and tightened his grip on her instead.

After a few more failed attempts at breaking free, Roxanne had no choice but to give up on struggling.

Even so, she still maintained an awkward position in his embrace to put a little bit of distance between them.

As the gossiping from the parents reached her ears, Roxanne wished the ground would just open up and swallow her whole.

I shouldn’t have agreed to come pick the kids up with Lucian!

A woman in the crowd noticed her reaction and reminded the others softly, “Hey, cut it out! She heard us!”
