The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 685

On the other end, Lucian and Aubree left the Pearson residence together.

As Aubree sat in the passenger seat, she did not stop putting on an elaborate show of sobbing and wiping her tears away in hopes of getting Lucian's attention. While Lucian did notice the weeping woman next to him, he had no intention of saying anything.

It wasn't long before Aubree noticed that all her weeping and sobbing had no effect on Lucian, who did not even have any kind words to offer to her. She gradually calmed down and stopped sobbing, turning away to look out the window in disappointment.

Upon noticing the scenery outside, Aubree's expression changed abruptly. Her voice still thick from crying, she turned around and asked, "Lucian, it's already so late. Aren't we going back home?"
