The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1972

Chapter 1772 Uncomfortable

Lucian was so focused on Roxanne that he didn’t notice anything unusual.

“You must be thirsty after such a long conversation,” he said to Roxanne, offering her a glass of water, which she accepted with a smile.

Elektra couldn’t help but feel a little left out as Lucian focused all his attention on

Roxanne and didn’t even ask if she wanted anything to drink.

She called for the server and said, “Excuse me, I’m not really liking the coffee. Can I please have a glass of lemon water instead?”

The dishes were brought out, including Elektra’s lemon water.

She couldn’t help but notice that Lucian was so busy serving Roxanne that he completely ignored her even though she was a guest.

It was an awkward moment for her, and she regretted not declining the meal invite.

Why didn’t I soy no? By letting Roxanne treat me to lunch, it put me ot o disadvantage.

Trying to break the silence, Elektra said, “Lucian, Ms. Jarvis, why didn’t you bring the kids along tonight?”

In truth, she knew the kids were at school that day but wanted to start a conversation.

“They’re at school. We’re planning to take them out tomorrow since it’s the weekend,”

Roxanne replied as she spooned some of Lucian’s favorite dishes onto his plate.

Unable to stand the lovey-dovey actions of the couple before her, Elektra continued the conversation. “I would love to meet your three kids. I heard they’re quite the goodlooking bunch. Is that true?”

The topic piqued Lucian’s interest. “Yes, they are. After all, Roxanne and I are their parents. You can’t go wrong with genetics.”

Elektra’s heart sank as she listened, but she knew she had to put on a brave face.
