The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 219

A faint scowl appeared on Lucian's face. Just when he wanted to speak, the sound of a ringtone interrupted the awkward atmosphere between them.

Roxanne averted her gaze apathetically and took out her phone from her bag. When she glanced at the caller ID, she saw that it was Larry calling.

At that, she secretly sighed with relief. Larry's phone call came to my rescue!

After nodding toward Lucian, Roxanne picked up the phone and walked to her car.

This time, Lucian did not try to stop her.

Walking past Lucian, Roxanne could feel herself easing up.

Meanwhile, Lucian recalled the caller ID on Roxanne's phone while staring at her retreating figure. If I remember correctly, that man even had a meal privately with Roxanne. They seemed to have had a good time, too. Hmm, I didn't expect them to be so close.

At that realization, Lucian's expression abruptly darkened.

“Larry, is something the matter?”

After Roxanne picked up the phone, they exchanged pleasantries until she got into the car. Then, she took the initiative to ask about Larry's reason for calling.

At the other end of the line, Larry replied with a chortle, “Why are you acting so distant toward me? Can't I call you even if there's nothing much?”

Without Lucian by her side, Roxanne had loosened up quite a bit. Smilingly, she answered, “Of course, you can. However, I'm sure most people wouldn't call this early in the morning just to chat.”

It was not like Larry did not know about her schedule. After all, Roxanne would usually be sending the kids off to kindergarten or on the way to work at that hour. Thus, there was no way Larry would suddenly call without reason.

After hanging up the call, Roxanne was confused about what Larry had said during the call. I wonder what he wants to give me. He's acting so secretive too.
