The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1764

Chapter 1764 On Our Guard

It went without saying that Lucian was anxious about Roxanne leaving his side when she had just recovered, coupled with the incident a while ago.

“Go back first. It so happens that I want to spend some more time with Madilyn.”

Roxanne could tell that her best friend had something else to say to her, so she seconded Madilyn.

At her words, a frown marred Lucian's countenance. Worry was practically written all over his face.

Seeing that, Madilyn suggested understandingly, “If you're worried, Mr. Farwell, you can have someone follow us. Anyway, I certainly won't take Roxanne out to do anything to betray you.”

No sooner had she proposed that than Lucian agreed without hesitation, "It's decided, then. I'll have someone follow you both to provide protection. Call me when you're done, and I'll come and pick the two of you up.”

It was clear as day that such had been his plan from the very beginning.

Naturally, Madilyn had no objections to it. In fact, she even threw her best friend a teasing look. “Things are indeed different when one is attached.”

A hint of scarlet stained Roxanne's face, and she smiled without responding to that, merely saying to Archie, Benny, and Estella, “Your Aunt Madilyn and I will only go back a while later. Be good and listen to your daddy.”

All three children obediently acquiesced.

Lucian made a call and waited for some time. It was not until he had ascertained that his subordinates were all in place that he drove away.

"What's wrong? Is something else the matter?”

Madilyn dragged Roxanne to a quiet bar, and the latter gave voice to that question in puzzlement after they had taken a seat.

Wearing a somewhat strange expression, Madilyn sounded hesitant as she started, “It isn't a big deal...”

She then took a sip of wine guiltily, her gaze darting all over the place.
