The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455

Seeing how Roxanne was still able to smile, Lucian’s already grim face turned even colder. He could no longer hold back his anger as he asked, “You seem to have a good relationship with Mr. Morrison, Dr. Jarvis”

Both Jonathan and Roxanne were shocked at his sudden query.

Jonathan was sharp enough to notice the friction in the air and quietly kept his mouth shut in order to make his presence as little as possible.

After moments of stunned silence, Roxanne calmly met Lucian’s gaze. “I’ve known Larry for a long time. He has taken great care of me, and I’m very thankful for that.”

Upon hearing her reply, Lucian pursed his lips. “Is that so? Is it even longer than the years that we’ve known each other?” His tone was laced with mockery.

Roxanne’s heart clenched at that. She subconsciously cast a look in Jonathan’s direction.

Lucian’s choice of words was more than enough to insinuate that there was something going on between them.

Fortunately for her, Jonathan’s expression did not change at all. It seemed like he did not hear Lucian.

Roxanne sighed inwardly in relief and turned back to look at Lucian. “My friendship with Larry is incomparable with my relationship with you, Mr. Farwell.”

Realizing that Roxanne was still trying to avoid talking about what had happened between them, Lucian’s voice was filled with scorn as he replied, “You’re right. I’ve only met you a few times, Dr. Jarvis. How could I ever compare with the many years of friendship between you and Mr. Morrison? I wonder to what extent has Archie and Benny accepted him?”

He was simply implying that Roxanne wanted Larry to be the father of her two children.

Roxanne’s eyebrows knitted into a tighter knot. The anger in her tone was evident as she exclaimed, “Larry and I are just friends. Please refrain from speaking such nonsense, Mr. Farwell!”

Lucian laughed tauntingly. He was just about to retort when Jonathan grabbed onto his arm and interrupted with a cough, “I think Grandpa is awake now. Let’s go and check on him, Lucian.”
