Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 896 A Hint Of Wariness

Slowly getting to his feet, Lucian pinned a dark look on Roxanne, who stood at the door. “I really don’t know when you learned to use your kids to set me up, Ms. Jarvis.”

Roxanne’s eyes flickered, her gaze mystified. When had I ever done such a thing?

“Why are you drawing away if you’re not feeling guilty, Ms. Jarvis?” Lucian sneered.

Upon hearing that, Roxanne hesitantly stopped retreating, her brows furrowing imperceptibly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

His gaze gloomy, Lucian demanded lowly, “Don’t tell me it wasn’t because you were sure I wouldn’t ignore the kids’ calls that you had Archie phone me, Ms. Jarvis?”
