The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 396

“Mr. Farwell?”

When Cayden saw his employer walking over with Roxanne, he subconsciously presumed that the latter would be getting into their car. Unexpectedly, he saw her getting into the car with Jonathan while Lucian stood outside.

After a moment, he decided to call out to the man cautiously.

His brows furrowing slightly, Lucian bent down and climbed into the car.

Cayden slowly started the car and drove out of the parking lot.

Meanwhile, in the adjacent car, Jonathan asked Roxanne for her address and ordered the driver to drop her home first.

In response, the driver murmured an acknowledgment.

He moved to start the car, but it simply wouldn't start.

It still didn't work after multiple tries. “The car seems to have broken down, Mr. Queen,” the driver reported helplessly.

Upon hearing that, Jonathan imperceptibly swept his gaze over Roxanne beside him. He wore a grim expression. “It was just fine when we came over. Why did it suddenly break down?”

A conflicted expression manifested on the driver's face. “Uh... I haven't been driving this car much. I didn't take it for maintenance either, so I don't know what happened. How about you wait here for a while, and I'll go back and retrieve another car before coming back to pick you up?”

Following that, Jonathan turned to Roxanne to seek her opinion.

Roxanne similarly didn't expect such an incident. When she heard that the driver had to go to such trouble, she wavered for a while before suggesting, “My car is nearby. We can take my car.”

I've got to return to retrieve my car tomorrow, so it makes no difference if I go to the Queen residence instead.

As soon as Jonathan heard that, his expression froze. Unbidden, a headache assailed him.

Gah! I actually forgot that she drove here. If we were to take her car, the arrangements tonight would go to waste!

In the front, the driver wore a troubled expression on his face. He eyed Jonathan, waiting for the latter's instructions.
