Roxanne carefully placed the glasses down and asked softly, “This is...”
Aren't we here to thank Old Mr. Lomax? What's with the card on the table?
Lucian explained in a deep voice, “This is the gift I prepared for Old Mr. Lomax, but he refused it. It seems he has something else to say.”
After speaking, he raised his hand and took back the card from the table.
Upon hearing this, Roxanne looked at the old man beside her in confusion.
Peregrine nodded with satisfaction. “Indeed, I have something to ask of you. It's great that you have decided to visit.”
The woman naturally did not refuse his request and nodded. “What is it? Just tell me. You have helped me so much, and if there is anything I can do for you, I will definitely do my best!”
“I'm relieved to hear that.” Peregrine smiled contentedly and looked at Roxanne. “I request to work at your research institute. It shouldn't be difficult for you to make the arrangements.”
Old. Mr. Lomax wants to work at my research institute?
For a moment, Roxanne was skeptical of her hearing. “Are you serious?”
Having lived in seclusion for so many years, she thought he would be eager to head back.
Little did she expect him to make such a request!
“After these few days of contact, I think you are very interesting, and perhaps your research institute has work I am interested in.” Peregrine continued calmly, “I've been thinking about this the whole day, and just as I was thinking about it, the two of you showed up. I suppose this is fate.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
Very best book out there, full of surprises and true love. Recommend to all....
How did she leave a child behind with her husband that was same age as her two boys. This makes no sense....
Why is Roxanne always this dump ,everytime she is blacmailed by Lucian her daughter nkt...
