Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91

After dinner, Alfred returned to his room to rest.

Roxanne followed him to give him one final checkup before heading downstairs to bid her goodbye.

“It’s so late now. Let me give you a lift home;” Jonathan piped up.

“No, it’s fine,” Roxanne replied with a smile. “You still have guests to entertain.”

Jonathan knew she was right and decided not to insist further. “In that case, please be careful on your way home. Oh, by the way, I hope you won’t take my grandfather’s words to heart. At his age, he tends to worry about things like that.”

Roxanne merely smiled and turned to leave.

“It’s getting late, and I still have work to do. I think I’ll be taking my leave now,” Lucian suddenly said when he saw Roxanne walking out of the mansion.

Aubree, who had become very wary, decided to follow suit. “Oh, I’m also thinking about leaving. Let’s go together, then.”“No. It’s not like we’re taking the same routes. I’ll be going now,” Lucian answered indifferently, striding off before Aubree could say anything else.

As she watched him walk away, Aubree stood in a daze, her face frozen with shock.

Jonathan, too, couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

Since dinner started, he could already feel something was wrong between Lucian and the two women, but unfortunately, he couldn’t put his finger on it.

“Aubree?” Frieda mumbled, baffled at how stunned her friend was.

Thankfully, Aubree was brought back to her senses and quickly forced out a smile. “Well, I still have work to do, so I shan’t disturb you guys any longer.”

Even though Jonathan and Frieda could tell that something was amiss with Aubree, they refrained from asking any more questions. After exchanging a few more words, they eventually saw her off.

Once they were back in the mansion, Jonathan immediately turned to his sister. “Hey, how did you know that Dr. Jarvis has kids?”

As it turned out, Lucian had been the one standing beside the car. When he heard Roxanne’s voice, he calmly raised his brows. “I didn’t drive here today. Mind giving me a lift if it’s convenient for you?”,

With that, he reached a hand out for the car door.

Unfortunately, before Roxanne could even get her bearings, Lucian had already entered the car and settled into the passenger seat.

He promptly fastened his seatbelt and added, “Let’s go.”

Roxanne finally came to her senses, but she was anything but pleased. “Where’s your chauffeur?”

“It’s already so late. Since I can easily get a ride, why should I trouble him to come all the way here!”

Those words rendered Roxanne speechless, and it took a while before she blurted out, “If I remember correctly, Ms. Pearson hasn’t left either. I think she’d be happy to give you a lift.
