The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1905

Chapter 1905 How Fascinating

Roxanne accompanied Lucian to the airport.

The duo was surprised to see James as they almost could not recognize him.

His pale and soft face was now sun-kissed, his complexion was a shade darker. His eyes were dull as he stared at the couple.

It was a strange change that seemed like he had suffered some hiccups in life and gained worldly wisdom.

James grinned. “Hi, Lucian and Roxanne. What are you doing here? It's the middle of the night. I'm sorry to have troubled you.”

Lucian was calm as he glanced at James and said, “Did something happen to you at Alendor?”

His gaze was sharp. He could figure out that the smile on James' lips was forced. It looked like the latter had something on his mind.

James nodded, but the words that came out of his mouth were a different story. “It's nothing much. I'll tell you about it later.”

“Congratulations, Lucian and Roxanne. The wedding is coming soon! It wasn't easy to get a plane ticket from Alendor. I even had to go through a layover. So don't blame me for only returning now.”

“It's fine. You're just in time for the wedding. We're happy to see you back home.” Roxanne smiled. She held out her hand, wanting to help with James' luggage, but he waved his hand to reject her.

“Let's get in the car,” Lucian said curtly. The three of them got in the car and left the airport.

In the car, James confessed why he had asked Lucian to pick him up at the airport.

He did not wish to return home because he knew he would receive a nagging from his family. He planned to stay at Lucian's place temporarily, to which Roxanne immediately agreed.

After all, his presence would not affect their daily activities much. The guest room on the third floor was still vacant too.

“But, of course, the first thing I'd like to do is see Essie. I want to see how she is doing.”

James had put in much effort and tried various psychological treatment methods to cure Estella, but he failed.

Estella's illness faced a considerable change when Roxanne's identity as her mother was revealed. That was what James wanted to study her condition.
