The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 164

Jonathan’s parents and Sonya were with Alfred. After Lucian learned that he had been summoned for no apparent reason, he was just about to leave when Roxanne and Larry appeared in single file.

“If there’s nothing else, Mr. Queen, I’d like to return as the children are waiting for me.” Roxanne politely bid him farewell.

Henrietta was a little surprised. “Leaving so soon? It’s only halfway through the dinner party. Stay a little longer!”

Roxanne smiled apologetically, “Maybe another time. I’m worried about the children at home.”

Everyone present knew that she had two children. Thus, they decided to oblige her insistence.

Alfred beckoned Jonathan over. “I’m worried about Dr. Jarvis returning home alone this time of night. Give her a ride.”

The next moment, Jonathan turned to examine Lucian’s expression.

Taking his lack of displeasure as a sign of consent, Jonathan was about to obey his grandfather when Larry’s voice rang out. “Don’t bother yourself. I have to get home early to attend an online seminar that’s starting soon. I can drop Roxanne off on my way home.”

Jonathan felt a tangible drop in the air pressure around him when Larry spoke. Clearing his throat, he was about to reclaim his errand when another cold voice cut across him.
