The Abandoned Wife

At the sight of Lucian, Roxanne felt her heart lurch, and her eyes reddened.

When no one came to open the door after many knocks, Lucian yelled, "Roxanne, open the door!"

Biting her lip, Roxanne picked up her phone and dialed his number.

Lucian suddenly stopped ringing the doorbell and answered the call with a frown. "Where are you? Is no one home?"

Roxanne held back her tears and forced herself to sound calm. "I'd like to be alone for some time. Please go home first."

Lucian immediately understood the meaning behind her words. "You're at home, aren't you? No, I won't go home. Please open the door. Let's talk this out."
