The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 920

Chapter 920 Not That Simple

Roxanne could feel Lucian’s heavy gaze on her back. Although her back was facing him, she still could not ignore the fact he was staring at her. Due to Lucian’s presence, she was no longer in the mood to eat anything.

“You kids go ahead. I have something to discuss with Mr. Farwell,” said Roxanne softly after taking several quick bites and placing away her cutleries.

She could not stand having Lucian staring at her all the time, and she wanted to know why he came to her place. The kids did not think too much about that and nodded obediently in response.

Seeing that the kids had agreed to let her go, Roxanne stood up and walked over to Lucian. “Let’s talk in the study.” Lucian nodded casually and stood up, following her to the study.

“Mr. Farwell, to what do I owe this pleasure of having you over at my place? Do you have something important to tell me?” Roxanne stood in the center of the study, looking at him warily. “If you’re here to offer me the technical advisor’s position for Herbscape Group again, I’m afraid I’ll have to let you down since I’ve already made it clear that I couldn’t accept that offer.”

That was the only thing that she could think of at that moment.

Noticing Roxanne was on high alert around him, Lucian’s gaze darkened imperceptibly.

The atmosphere inside the study also became slightly solemn.

Roxanne fixed her eyes on Lucian, afraid that he would make any sudden move on her again like the other night.

After a long moment, Lucian was still staring at her, scrutinizing her from head to toe as if he wanted to read through her mind.

Roxanne’s wariness for him slowly turned into confusion.

“I heard a fire broke out at your research institute a few days ago.” Finally, Lucian broke the silence in the study.

At the mention of the fire incident, Roxanne’s expression changed again. She frowned. “How did you find out about the fire?”
