The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 241

Aubree only wanted to know if Lucian had come here for Roxanne.

Although she had a rough idea, she still wanted to hear it from Lucian.

However, she never thought she would go over the line.

Looking at Lucian's icy cold expression, Aubree panicked and apologized while keeping her composure, “I'm sorry. You must have your reason to stay here.”

After that, she asked tentatively, “When do you plan to leave? Maybe we can leave together if our timing matches?”

Lucian lifted his gaze and glanced at Cayden.

“Mr. Farwell, I've bought the plane tickets,” Cayden said reverently.

Luckily, a first-class seat was left when Cayden received the instruction to buy a plane ticket.

“All right. Pack up my luggage and prepare to leave.” Lucian rose to his feet.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a hand in his pocket and looked down.

He thought he could catch up with the two if he left right away and wondered how Roxanne would react when she saw him.

A look of suspicion flashed in Aubree's eyes when she heard that.

I've just arrived, and Lucian is leaving now?

Aubree was sure that Roxanne wasn't planning to leave earlier.

Did I overthink it? Is Lucian really here for a business trip?

At that thought, Aubree plucked up her courage and asked, “Are you planning to leave now? Let's go back together if you're not in a rush. I can settle my things quickly. Just wait for me for a while.”

Lucian acted as though he didn't hear Aubree's invitation. He said coldly, “I have done my job, so I have no reason to stay here any longer. Maybe you should get back to work since you're busy. Don't loiter around here.”

After he said that, he retracted his gaze from her.

Aubree stood at the entrance in a daze and took a while to register what was happening.

With tightly clenched fists, Aubree turned around and strode away after she saw that Lucian had no intention of continuing their conversation.
