The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458

After watching Roxanne leave, Lucian’s gaze darkened. The next moment, he stood up casually and said, “Old Mr. Queen, I suddenly remembered that I have to settle something at the office. I’m really relieved to see that you’re recovering well. If there’s nothing else, i shall make a move too.”

Alfred furrowed his brows slightly when he heard that. He remembered Lucian telling him that he was free those two days. As such, he found it strange that the man suddenly said that he was busy.

However, Alfred was understanding, knowing that Lucian was responsible for the entire Farwell Group.

“I had wanted to ask you to stay for dinner, but since you’re busy, I won’t keep you here any longer. You should get going now. Work is more important,” Alfred said before continuing earnestly, “Remember to get enough rest and take care of your health.”

Lucian agreed and turned to leave.

When Jonathan saw that his friend was going off, he stood up immediately and followed Lucian. “Wait! I’ll walk you out.”

When the two men left the house, they saw Roxanne, who was already reaching the mansion’s entrance, right away.

Just when Jonathan was about to say something, Lucian was one step ahead of him.

“I know what you want to say. I’ll take note of that.”

After saying that, Lucian strode away immediately without waiting for his friend’s reply.

Jonathan sighed helplessly as he watched Lucian approach Roxanne.

Roxanne was waiting for the housekeeper to open the gate for her at the entrance of the manor when she heard footsteps coming from behind.

She turned around instinctively and met the man’s cold gaze.

Roxanne was stunned for a moment when she locked eyes with Lucian. After regaining her senses, she took a step toward the side and nodded slightly as a form of acknowledgment.

Even though there was still some distance between the two of them, Roxanne could clearly feel the cold aura exuded by the man.
