The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 923 Pick Me Up

Lucian stared at Roxanne with a grim expression. Even if she did not say it out explicitly, he could tell that she was still being suspicious of him.

Realizing that, Lucian's expression darkened terribly, while the tone of his voice became colder. "Since you are refusing my offer, Ms. Jarvis, I won't insist upon it anymore."

With that, he turned around and left the study. As she watched his retreating figure, Roxanne's eyes glinted with an unfathomable emotion. Confusion filled her heart at that moment.

Lucian's words still left her wondering why he had decided to come all the way to see her in the first place.

She wouldn't believe his claim that he was merely here to provide the medicinal herbs.

However, Lucian did not mention anything else besides that.

Roxanne mulled over it in the study alone, but she could not find an answer to her doubts.

After quite some time, she finally decided to leave the room.
