The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618

It was almost noon, but Jonathan had not been able to come up with a solution. He could only advise Lucian, “Whatever you say or do, remember to tone down your attitude. Don’t confront her head–on.”

Lucian frowned but acknowledged at once.

After ending the call, Lucian went downstairs and drove to Roxanne’s research institute.

In the meantime, Roxanne got up, ready to depart to the café when most of her staff had left the building.

Before stepping out of the research institute, she stopped in her track as something popped up in her mind. She then returned to her office to retrieve the roses. I might as well give him back the flowers since I’m meeting him.

She was relieved that no one saw her walking with a bouquet of roses.

When Roxanne was about to walk to the car park after leaving the research institute, she saw a Bentley at the entrance of the building.

Noticing her from a distance, the man immediately got out of the car and walked toward her.

Roxanne’s expression stiffened when she saw the man coming in her direction. Didn’t I tell him to meet me at the café? What on earth is he doing here? It’s as if he’s still unhappy with the damage done when he sent the bouquet over this morning!

“It’s noon now, so I feel we should have a proper meal instead. That’s why I came here to fetch you,” Lucian explained as if he knew what she was thinking.

Upon hearing that, Roxanne snapped back to reality. With a frown, she responded, “No thanks. Let’s just grab a quick coffee.”

She wanted to avoid having lunch with Lucian because she did not want to spend more time with him.

However, Lucian acted as if her words fell on deaf ears as he continued, “What would you like to eat? I’ll reserve a table now.”

Roxanne gave him a puzzled look.

She was unsure if her mind was playing tricks on her, but somehow, she felt Lucian looked slightly different from how he used to carry himself.
