The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 631

Chapter 631

Roxanne stood outside the kindergarten for some time before she could recover from her trance. Putting away the tickets. she got into her car and headed back to the research institute.

Just as she arrived at the office, Jack gave her a call. “The date has been decided; it’s tonight. Is that fine with you?”

Hearing those words, Roxanne, whose mind was still in a mess, was slightly taken aback. It took her some time before she recalled what Jack had said when he had come over yesterday.

We’re probably going to meet those doctors we’re collaborating with tonight. On the other end, after not getting an answer from her, Jack urged, “Ms. Jarvis? Is anything the matter? Is that not an appropriate timing?”

Only then did Roxanne snap out of her thoughts. “It’s nothing. I’m free. I’ll arrive on time tonight.”

Though Jack found her reaction a little strange, he did not probe further since they were holding the conversation over the phone. He merely left her some reminders before concluding the call.

Because of the incident that morning, Roxanne seemed to be absent-minded for the rest of the day.

Later that afternoon, Roxanne ended work about thirty minutes earlier since she had the banquet to attend that night. Out of respect for the doctors, she wanted to return home to freshen herself up.

Just as she was ready to leave her house since it was about time, she received a call from Larry.

“Where are you?” Larry’s voice sounded. the second the call connected.

Roxanne was baffled. “At home. What is it?”

Larry chuckled. “I’ll go and pick you up.”

Comprehension dawned on Roxanne after she heard his words. Larry is probably also one of the doctors we’ll be working with this time.

Recognizing that possibility, she pulled a smile and turned him down. “No need. I’ll head over myself. See you at the banquet later.”
