The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 413

Joseph's face fell when he heard her rejection, and his tone sounded insistent. “I think you've misunderstood my intentions. I don't mean that kind of friendship.”

Roxanne frowned in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Joseph smirked mysteriously. “One night should be enough for us to get to know each other.”

That sentence had clearly displayed his intentions.

Roxanne was momentarily stunned, but she quickly realized what he was saying. Her expression turned frosty. “I'm not interested. Please stop disturbing me. I want to be alone for a while.”

Joseph scowled at her second rejection.

Unfortunately, there were too many people at the banquet. Thus, he could not do anything to her. Instead, he straightened his body unhappily and lifted his wineglass toward her. With a threatening tone, he said, “If that's the case, surely you won't refuse this toast, right?”

Roxanne appeared hesitant.

Joseph was obviously a notorious playboy, and she did not know if he would pull any tricks on her.

Sensing her concern, Joseph mocked, “Oh, you can relax. There are so many people here. I won't do anything to you. I'm not the kind who'll force women into doing things, anyway.”

Roxanne frowned, but still clinked her glass with his, taking a sip out of politeness.

Joseph shot her a dangerous glance and returned to the crowd.

When she saw him leaving, Roxanne secretly sighed with relief.

As soon as Joseph returned to the crowd, a group of playboys surrounded him, teasing, “Aw. There are still women who don't fall for Mr. Cadman's flirts, eh? Who is that woman? Why is she so arrogant?”

Joseph shot the man a glare.
