Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 163

In an instant, the atmosphere between the four stiffened as the eyes of the entire crowd fell on her.

Roxanne frowned with discomfort. She did not want to interact with Lucian more than was necessary. Instead, she turned to Jonathan. “What brings you here, Mr. Queen?”

Jonathan chuckled after a startled pause. “It doesn't seem very polite to have invited you and then not pay attention to you, so I thought I'd come and have a chat.”

In the ensuing silence of his proclamation, he shot Lucian a meaningful look.

The latter appeared indifferent. It was evident that he had no intention of clarifying the matter.

Jonathan had no choice but to take the blame.

Roxanne smiled faintly. “I don't mind. In fact, I happened to have run into Larry here. As we rarely see each other, we have our own catching up to do. Though I appreciate your kindness, there's no need for you to entertain me.”

Jonathan choked at her subtle dismissal. He was trying to find another excuse to stay for a chat when the sound of a pair of approaching heels drew his attention to it.

“There you are, Lucian.” Aubree's voice rang out. “Your mother has been looking for you. You should go see what she wants.”

Jonathan had no choice but to hold back the excuse he had conceived.

Lucian frowned but did not leave immediately. The woman behind him had already arrived by his side, staring daggers at Roxanne as she approached.

Roxanne felt nauseated at the sight of the couple standing together. “It appears that you have something to do. Don't let me bother you.”

With that, she whispered something to Larry, and the pair of them turned to leave.

Standing beside Lucian, Aubree constantly reminded him that Sonya wanted him, preventing him from dissuading Roxanne from leaving.

“Mrs. Farwell seems to be in a hurry. I'd better come with you.” Aubree felt her heart turning cold upon noticing his gaze lingering on the woman in the distance. In a panic, her reminders increased both in urgency and in pitch.

Already irritable, Lucian turned to give her such a cold glare that Aubree's voice sputtered to a halt.
