The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 Feeling Uneasy

Her change in color did not go unnoticed by Cayden, but the man could not understand the reason behind it. When he saw that Lucian had ended the call, he quickly walked over.

“Do you have an umbrella? Where’s your car? I can send you home first before Mr. Farwell comes. He’s going to take a while.”

Cayden gestured to open the umbrella in his hand, but Roxanne stopped him.

“It’s okay. Someone’s picking me up.”

Cayden nodded and just stood beside her quietly after that.

Seeing that the man was not going anywhere, Roxanne looked at the rain and hesitated as she distanced herself from him.

The rain is abating. I should go before he comes down.

“Mr. Farwell! I thought you—” Cayden exclaimed.

Just as she took the first step into the rain, Lucian was already behind her.

Although Roxanne did not know why Cayden did not finish his sentence, she was too nervous to turn around to check out what was happening.

When she felt cold air engulfing her, she fled into the rain without a second thought.

Suddenly, the rain stopped hitting her head. A black umbrella sheltered her, and a strong grip caught her hand, pulling her right back to the hotel entrance.

“Are you crazy?” Lucian reprimanded.

He knew that Roxanne would try to avoid him when he was on the call with Cayden, so he said goodbye to his partners and left in a hurry.

As he expected, she was indeed trying to run away.

Lucian felt insulted when she would rather walk in the rain than spend time with him.

When Roxanne knew there was no getting away, she took a deep breath and looked up at him calmly. “Hi, Mr. Farwell. What a coincidence.”

Lucian did not know she was drunk at first, but the moment he smelled her breath, a frown appeared on his brows.
