The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529

Lucian stood behind Roxanne and stared at her silhouette for a long time.

What is she thinking about? She didn’t even notice I was here. She didn’t even move an inch the entire time I was here.

After a long while, Lucian raised his feet at walked toward her with a frown on his face.

Only when a shadow cast on her did Roxanne realize that she was not alone. Snapping out of her daze, Roxanne lifted her head to look at the person standing in front of her.

As their gazes met, Roxanne immediately knitted her brows and stood up with solemn guardedness. She took a few steps back, increasing the distance between them.

“What are you thinking about, Ms. Jarvis? Why did you leave Archie and Benny behind and come out here alone?” Lucian asked in concern as though nothing had happened.

Roxanne looked at the man standing before her and retorted, “Didn’t you leave Essie behind and come out here as well, Mr. Farwell?”

Lucian’s expression sank momentarily, but quickly, he flashed a smile at Roxanne. “Essie was worried about you. I’m merely checking on you on her behalf.”

A wave of frustration washed over Roxanne as she remembered how distressed she was a moment ago. She could not help but think that she was being played by the man in front of her.

After a few seconds of silence, Roxanne decided to address the elephant in the room. “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Farwell. I was just wondering… Why didn’t you follow through with what was rehearsed in the final scene?”

The moment she spoke those words, Roxanne noticed Lucian arching his eyebrows slightly. He looked as though he was surprised.

Roxanne was filled with confusion.
