The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 777

Chapter 777 Just Hug You For A While

Following Lucian’s remark, a wealth of irony suffused Roxanne. She lifted a hand and pressed it against his chest. “Thank you for the kind gesture, Mr. Farwell. But I’m afraid you’ll never have that chance.”

After saying that, she exerted force, hoping to break free from his embrace and get to her feet. To her surprise, Lucian actually dropped his arm around her.

Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she was about to stand up, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist and yanked her toward the couch hard.

“Ahh!” she instinctively exclaimed at Lucian’s unexpected action. In the next second, she fell right onto his lap. Lucian supported her waist firmly with a hand, helping to steady her.

Roxanne gaped at the man beside her in astonishment. Despite feeling a tad irate, she stated in feigned calmness, “Thank you for steadying me, Mr. Farwell. You may now let go of me.”

Having said that, she reached out to find a fulcrum to regain her feet.

Unexpectedly, Lucian hugged her even tighter. All she could reach were his thighs and abs.

She groped around before she finally found the fulcrum. Just as she was going to stand up, a sensual moan sounded beside her ear.

“Stay still.” Lucian’s voice was tinged with a trace of hoarseness.

Hearing that, Roxanne clenched her fingers on reflex. Consequently, the hand around her waist tightened as well.

As she belatedly realized where she had placed her hand and cast her mind back to the man’s reaction earlier, her face instantly flushed bright red. She panickily retracted her hand. “I didn’t mean to do that!”

In response, Lucian gave a bark of low laughter. “I wish you meant to do that.”

At that remark, the blush on Roxanne’s face gradually spread.
