The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 651

that Lucian inclines to win Roxanne back, but I cannot figure out her stance. Complicated emotions surged within Jack when he was reminded of Roxanne's appearance as she stood under the lights earlier. She's clueless

but her futile attempt merely prompted him to grab her more closely and firmly. Lucian decided never to let go of her hand anymore because when he had done so

hesitated, looking at the opened car door. Although the vehicle's backseat was very spacious, she still thought she would be too close to Lucian if they sat together in the backseat. However, before she could come up with an excuse to refuse, Lucian had already placed his hands on her shoulder authoritatively and

was soon heading in her house's direction in no time. Throughout the ride, dead silence filled the air inside the car. Roxanne thought he would say something, but unexpectedly, he remained quiet even after a long while. She let out a sigh of relief inwardly. I can live with this. Since he's quiet, I don't have to worry about him spouting nonsensical words. A wave of drowsiness washed over her right after she put down her guard. The temperature inside the vehicle was optimal, and the car's interior was noiseless. In addition to being under the influence of the alcohol she had drunk earlier, Roxanne could not help but begin dozing off under such a conducive ambiance. She dug her fingers into her palms to force herself to stay awake, but that method was ineffective. Soon, she fell asleep without realizing it. Even though the driver had tried his best to keep the

head against the car window and reflexively tilted her body sideways, causing her head to drop to Lucian's side. Sitting next to her, Lucian noticed her movements for some time, but he simply stayed silent. Lucian's anger, provoked by Roxanne's multiple refusals to his offer and her decision to walk up to the other two guys, had yet to dissipate. Therefore, he was afraid of uttering any words he might regret if he spoke at that moment. He frowned slightly when he saw Roxanne shifting her body weight to the other side due to her uncomfortable sleeping posture.
