Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1369

Quiet settled in the car again.

Lucian had thought Roxanne would offer him an explanation or words of reassurance after he had shown understanding, but she remained silent for a long time.

That ticked him off, but he couldn't go back on his words and could only keep his emotions in check.

Thankfully, Benny had notified him of this earlier, or he would have flipped his lid thinking about Roxanne and her indulgent demeanor working together with Jack.

“You could take a break on this trip, too,” Lucian continued, not meaning a word he said. “The stories circulating online these few days must have affected you. I should have handled it better. I wanted to take you away for an excursion after my trip, but it seems that the medical consultation came at the right time.”

Roxanne came back to her senses and seemed to remember something. “Sorry for troubling you with the comments online.”

Lucian frowned. “I was the one who put you in this situation. I should be the one apologizing to you.”

Roxanne hesitated before continuing, “But it should be me who files the defamation suit. People will misunderstand if you do it for me...”

They appeared to be a family in the eyes of everyone else, which was the desired effect Lucian wanted.

He feigned confusion. “Misunderstand what?”

A hint of resignation flashed in Roxanne's eyes, and she stared at him without answering.

He clearly knows what I mean, yet he acts clueless.
