The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 899 Threw Herself Into Her Arms

"I'll go and pick Archie and Benny up." An indeterminate time passed before Roxanne lowered her eyes and murmured that in feigned calmness.

She really had no idea how to face the man in front of her, so she could only pretend as though nothing had happened earlier.

At the sight of her blasé look, Lucian quirked his lips, deliberately baring the wound at the corner of his mouth.

Out of her peripheral vision, Roxanne glimpsed the corner of the man's mouth. Her expression turned awkward.

Lucian proceeded to dab at the corner of his mouth. By then, his gaze had already cooled. In a deep voice, he offered, "I'll bring you upstairs." Argh! I was again irritated by her just now and lost hold of my self-control for a moment. And now, she has aversion etched across her features. Fury and annoyance simmered within him, but in the end, they all turned into indifference.
