Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1152

Chapter 1152

Roxanne shuddered in fright.

"That's enough!"

Lucian's dangerous tone of voice terrified her.

Nonetheless, he wasn't about to let her off.

"Wouldn't becoming Essie’s mother make you feel more at ease?"

Her chest felt tight, and she had difficulty breathing upon his words.

This wasn't the first time Lucian had asked her that question, but her answer remained the same.This round was no different.

She gritted her teeth and pulled away.

"You're overthinking things.I care for Essie because I feel bad for how much she relies on me.That's it."

Lucian closed in.

"I wonder what Essie would think of this when she learns that you care for her only because you feel bad for her."

Roxanne’s heart fell when she heard him.She gritted her teeth and met his eyes.

"I do like Essie, but that doesn't mean I must become her mother.After all, I don't intend on taking advantage of you, and I believe you don't, too."

Lucian's eyes darkened.

"How are you so sure that I don't?"

Her pupils constricted as her heart shook.Is he saying what I think he's saying? If that's so...

How could he say something like that? Isn't he getting married to Aubree soon? The words Lucian had spoken to her when he was courting her flashed through her mind, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Ms.Pearson's here."

Roxanne looked away as she reminded Lucian of Aubree’s arrival.

Lucian frowned, turned around, and gave Aubree a glance.

Roxanne quickly pulled away.She got into her car nonchalantly and was about to leave when Aubree called out to her.

"Ms.Jarvis, it's been a long time.Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Roxanne could tell from Aubree's tone that she was angry.

Aubree approached Lucian with an awkward smile and fixed Roxanne with a murderous stare.

How dare she show up here? Aubree was secretly glad she was on good terms with Pamela as Pamela was the one who notified her the moment Lucian met up with Roxanne.
