The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 615

Chapter 615

Lucian’s gaze darkened as he stared at his phone.

An indeterminate amount of time passed before he located the flower shop’s number and called them.

“Don’t send any flowers tomorrow. Starting next week, please send them to VR Research Institute instead.”

The flower shop staff agreed immediately.

Meanwhile, though Roxanne had clearly expressed her rejection, she continued to worry that Lucian would ignore her pleas.

The next day, Roxanne awoke bright and early and waited in the living room.

Her children seemed to echo her thoughts as they came downstairs early to wait with her.

The three of them waited with bated breath, especially Roxanne, who was fraught with nerves.

Thankfully for her, no one came to ring her doorbell even after a long while.

Roxanne was immensely relieved as she watched the suspicions clearing from her sons‘ faces. She naively assumed that Lucian had finally given up.

The next day, after resting at home for almost half a month, Roxanne was dying to return to work.

Her wound had healed nicely, and she could walk quite comfortably.

Roxanne convinced Lysa and the boys to allow her to return to the research institute.

She arrived at about ten in the morning, having spent much time trying to persuade Lysa.

Roxanne did not know why, but she thought the workers at the research institute were all staring at her with strange expressions.

As she approached the doorway, Colby happened to exit her office.

“Dr. Jarvis,” Colby greeted, a conflicted emotion flitting across his expression. More confused than ever, Roxanne asked, “Did anything happen this morning?”

1. CU.

Why is everyone staring at me like that? And why did Colby come out of my office?

The employee immediately asked Colby if he knew Roxanne, and Colby froze for a good minute when he saw the bouquet of roses.
