Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 793 A Misunderstanding

After sensing something was off, Roxanne pressed her lips together and did not utter another word.

Madilyn watched as the atmosphere between Roxanne and Lucian turned tense. She decided against stepping out, instead choosing to wait quietly in the car. Nonetheless, she couldn’t help letting her thoughts wander.

Lucian’s actions are making me second-guess myself. If Roxanne hadn’t told me he wanted to win her back, I simply wouldn’t have believed he was a man who would attempt such a thing. Besides, the way he’s acting doesn’t look like he’s trying to get in a woman’s good graces at all. It’s more like he’s trying to reclaim his territory.

The more Madilyn observed the former husband and wife, the more she leaned toward the theory that Lucian was merely trying to reclaim lost territory.

“You’re going out?” Lucian repressed his anger and cast a cold glance at Roxanne. The man was clearly feigning ignorance, for he already knew the answer to his question.

Roxanne felt somewhat guilty upon meeting the man’s eyes.

However, when she thought about the fact that she only met up with Jack because of work, her confidence began to rise, and she responded calmly, “There’s a contract-signing ceremony I need to attend in a little while. I’m afraid I don’t have time to attend to you, Mr. Farwell. I hope you understand.”
