The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 602

Chapter 602

Back in the office, Roxanne’s response ignited Lucian’s anger.

Nonetheless, he quickly suppressed it when he recalled what his objective was. Instead, his tone sounded a little colder. “Of course I know what it means. I also assume that you, Ms. Jarvis, would understand my intentions too.”

With a slight wrinkle of her brows, Roxanne, already feeling tired, could sense that Lucian was acting strangely today.

“No, I don’t. Whatever it is, Mr. Farwell, just say it to me directly.”

Amidst his frustrated expression and burning rage, Lucian asserted, “I hope that you’ll return to my side!”

His words came as such a sudden shock that Roxanne felt as if she was hit by a sledgehammer.

After a long silence, the anger within Lucian finally dissipated. He, cognizant of his own words, furrowed his brows in remorse.

Holding back his emotions, Lucian continued as if nothing had happened, “Furthermore, Essie needs a mother. Since she just adores you, and I remember that you, too, are very fond of her-”

Unexpectedly, Roxanne cut him off before he could finish, “Who do you take me for, Mr. Farwell? Do you think that just because Essie likes me, that automatically qualifies me to be her mother? By that logic, Essie’s birth mother is more suitable than me for that role. Therefore, it’s better for you to send Essie back to her!”

Frowning in response, Lucian attempted to clarify himself, but the call ended before he could say a word.

I’m truly at my wits‘ end on how to get through to her. After I went this far and declared

this far and declared my intentions clearly, she still ends up misunderstanding me! What in the world did I do wrong?
