The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 331

In reflex, Aubree looked down at her arm in a cast before returning her gaze to Roxanne as if it was nothing. “My injury isn't a big deal. I was accidentally clipped by a car while out shopping with Mrs. Farwell two days ago. Luckily, she was unhurt.”

Aubree was clearly hinting that she hurt herself in an attempt to save Sonya.

Roxanne, having read between the lines, cracked a flat smile and replied in a cursory tone, “Ms. Pearson, since you enjoy such a close relationship with Mrs. Farwell, I'm sure it will be smooth sailing for you once you marry into the Pearson family. If there's nothing else, I need to leave first, as it's getting late, and the children are tired.”

Before Aubree could respond, Roxanne turned to leave.

No sooner had she done that than she felt someone grabbing her wrist.

Knitting her brows, she turned around to look at Aubree.

Aubree returned the gaze with a pathetic expression. “Actually, there's something else I want to say. I owe you an apology.”

Having heard those words, Roxanne was suddenly aroused with suspicion, unaware of what Aubree was scheming.

“That's not necessary.” Roxanne pursed her lower lip. “Ms. Pearson, there's nothing for you to apologize for.”

Even though Aubree had done plenty to harm her and her boys prior to that, she didn't need the former's apology. After all, a single apology could never make up for all of Aubree's past misdeeds.

Besides, she had decided to draw the line with Lucian, ending any future interaction with him and Aubree.
