Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1448

Roxanne contemplated her best friend's words and thought it made sense. Thus, she stopped speaking.

Meanwhile, when Madilyn registered the point she made, she believed Lucian hadn't done enough to make up for the fright her best friend and the children endured.

In a concerned tone, she advised, “While the public's focus has been shifted away, it'll still be for the best if all of you stay out of the media's sight for the time being.”

Roxanne nodded in agreement. “I don't think it'll be a problem. In my case, I'll only be either at home or at the research institute, so unless the reporters specifically sought me out—”

“That's what I'm worried about!” Madilyn interrupted. “I'm concerned some reporters won't give up!”

That outburst stunned Roxanne because she had more to say.

Lucian's expression darkened slightly while he gripped Roxanne's hand as though no one was around. “For now, you shouldn't go to the research institute anymore. Just in case.”

Upon detecting his movement, she felt her heart clenching. As she glanced at her friend, she tried pulling her hand away, but he was stronger than her. Hence, she reluctantly and awkwardly allowed him to keep holding her hand.

Madilyn gazed at Lucian assertively. “Don't you think you should make up for the trouble you brought Roxanne, Mr. Farwell?”

In response, Lucian knitted his eyebrows and gave her statement some genuine consideration.

Resignedly, Roxanne clarified, “It's nothing serious. I can do overtime later to make up for the work I missed—”

Madilyn shot her a glance, silencing her, before turning to look at Lucian.

“You have a private plane, right, Mr. Farwell? Why not use it to bring her to Miralaea for a trip? You two can hide from the reporters there and use the opportunity to relax.”

Lucian was moved by her proposal. I did tell Roxanne I'd bring the children out for a trip when we went to Jadeborough some time ago. However, after she returned here, she was busy with her work, so I never got the chance to fulfill my promise. I suppose now is an excellent opportunity to do so.
