The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 649

Chapter 649

Roxanne could feel the air growing still right then.

Needless to say, it was because of Lucian.

Roxanne clenched her fist and told herself repeatedly not to turn around and watch. She wanted to pretend that Lucian was not there at all.

His question had made her squirm uneasily. At the thought of his out-of-place confession. Roxanne was worried that he might make more unreasonable demands.

Meanwhile, Jack frowned when he saw that the driver was running late.

“Let me make a call,” Jack said as he took out his phone.

The next moment, Lucian’s voice rang out. “Since Mr. Damaris’ driver is going to take some time, I could send you home if you don’t mind, Ms.Jarvis.**

Roxanne tensed up once again and turned around immediately to reject his offer. “That won’t be necessary. I’ve already made the arrangement with Mr. Damaris. Feel free to leave first if you’re in a rush. Mr. Farwell!”

Then Roxanne scurried to Jack’s side.

She did not wish to be alone with Lucian, afraid that he might say anything that would cripple her defenses, or worse, entrap her again.

Roxanne had not seen Lucian’s trick coming in the morning, and that served as a lesson for her to be warier of him.

Noticing that Roxanne was about to run away and scurry off to another man’s side, Lucian reached out to grip her hand once again. “Didn’t you say you won’t run away. Ms. Jarvis?”

Roxanne paused in her tracks and lowered her gaze. After she straightened out her rambling thoughts, she turned around and met Lucian’s gaze calmly. “Mr. Farwell, I’m grateful for your kind gesture. But I don’t wish to trouble you further since it’s already quite late. I’ll just head back in Mr. Damaris’ car.”
