The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200

Roxanne had just gotten off work when she heard the employees in the research institute discussing Lucian and Aubree‘s marriage.

“Mr. Farwell is so attentive! He actually took care of his fiancée for the entire night. If it were my boyfriend, he would never do so.”

“Most importantly, he‘s handsome and rich. His fiancée is beautiful as well. She resembles Dr. Jarvis quite a bit, so she must be a beauty!”

Similar sentiments drifted into the air.

The group of researchers chatted as they walked. When they caught sight of Roxanne, they even bid her farewell. “See you tomorrow, Dr. Jarvis.”

Smiling, Roxanne answered them one by one.

However, she couldn‘t help feeling puzzled upon hearing their discussion.

Lucian took care of his fiancée the whole of last night? But he had been with me the entire time last night. When did he meet up with Aubree?

Just when she found it strange, Colby came up to her from behind. “Are you free tonight? How about having dinner together?”

Abruptly snapping back to her senses, Roxanne flashed him an apologetic smile. “I still need to rush over to the kindergarten to pick my kids up, so I‘m afraid I‘ll have to take a rain check. Another day, perhaps. When the project concludes, I‘ll treat everyone to a meal.”

When Colby heard that, a glimmer of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he said nothing in the end. Talking about the project, he exited the research institute with her.

As Roxanne didn‘t drive to work, she could only hail a taxi by the roadside.

A moment later, Colby‘s car slowly came to a stop in front of her. “Did you not drive?”

In response, Roxanne shook her head.

“Where are you going? I‘ll give you a ride. I don‘t have anything to do tonight anyway, and it isn‘t easy to get a taxi here.” Colby‘s smile was warm and gentle.

Roxanne hesitated for a second. She glanced at the time, only to see that it was indeed time Archie and Benny got off school. Thus, she didn‘t decline but opened the car door and got into the car.

No sooner had she settled into the car than she received a call from Harvey again, inquiring about the project‘s progress.

The headline read: Mr. Farwell drove his fiancée to the hospital in the middle of the night and kept her company the entire night.
