Chapter 146 – The Abandoned Wife: Leaving the Country After Divorce Novel

Filed to story: Leaving the Country After Divorce Novel (Lucian & Roxanne)

Roxanne must have left in a rush because of Aubree’s unannounced arrival.

“This is my room. Of course I’m here. As for you, what are you doing here?” Lucian’s expression turned icy.

Aubree looked away with guilt. “Oh, it’s nothing. I have some work to do here in Bellridge, and Mrs. Farwell told me you’re here for a business trip. So I’m here to see you.”

“Does Pearson Group have a project here in Bellridge? Why didn’t I know that?” Lucian showed no mercy and exposed her.

In recent years, Farwell Group had been acting as the middleman for many projects for Pearson Group. Hence, it was natural for Lucian to know of their businesses.

Aubree’s expression changed, and she clenched her fists. She steeled herself and said, “We only started negotiating recently. It’s not a done deal yet. I came here to give it a try.”

Aubree was afraid Lucian would continue digging into it, so she immediately changed the topic. “Oh, right, why are you staying in this kind of hotel? Did your partner book this for you?”

As soon as she finished her sentence, Aubree could feel that the temperature in the room had become colder.

Lucian shot her a glance before retracting his gaze. “Mind your own business.”

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.

Alook 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.

After Aubree left, she saw two housekeepers opening Roxanne’s hotel room.

Her heart sank when she saw that, and she walked over quickly.

“Where’s the guest in this room?” “She has checked out,” the housekeeper replied.

Checked out? Aubree looked as if she got struck by lightning.

Earlier, Lucian had said he was going to leave too.

Aubree had wondered why he was leaving so abruptly.

It turned out that it was because Roxanne had left.

She had tried so hard to find out the answer from Lucian.

However, she got the answer from the housekeepers instead.

Lucian had gone on a business trip to Bellridge abruptly and had stayed in this kind of hotel.

Moreover, he had been staying right next to Roxanne’s room.

And now, he even asked Cayden to buy him a plane ticket as soon as Roxanne left.

This was all because he was following Roxanne.

Suddenly, Aubree felt her vision going dark, and she couldn’t calm down for a long while.

Although she had speculated this earlier, she still couldn’t accept the reality when she heard it herself.

Aubree recovered from the shock after a while.

The first thing she did was check the flight schedule back to Horington through her phone.

According to the time when Roxanne and Lucian left the hotel, she reckoned they must have bought the earliest flight ticket.

However, the tickets for the earliest flight were sold out by the time she opened the site.

Aubree’s face was ashen as soon as she saw there were no tickets left.

With gritted teeth, she put her phone back in her pocket.

At this moment, Lucian opened the door and walked out of his room.

Aubree opened her mouth and was about to speak.

Lucian raised his eyes and glanced in Aubree’s direction.

But as if he didn’t see her, he quickly withdrew his gaze.

Aubree couldn’t speak up even after the two entered the elevator.

An hour later, on a plane to Horington, Roxanne frowned slightly when she saw the man boarding the plane. She thought Lucian didn’t really mean it.

After all, they bought the tickets in a hurry.

Besides, when she had bought the tickets, she saw only three remaining tickets.

After Larry and Roxanne bought their tickets, there was only one ticket left.

Therefore, little did she know that Lucian would buy the last ticket coincidentally.

A trace of regret flashed across her eyes the moment Roxanne saw the man getting closer and closer to her.

Just now, she planned to go back by herself, so she only bought a ticket for herself first.

Since she and Larry bought their tickets separately, they didn’t get to sit together, and the seat for the person who had the last ticket was right beside hers.

Initially, Roxanne didn’t expect that Lucian’s seat would be beside hers, so the thought of changing seats with another person didn’t cross her mind.

Currently, she was at the window seat, and the man had walked up to her, blocking her only escape route.

If she stood up and requested to have her seat changed, her intention to avoid him would become obvious.

While she was still hesitating, the man had already sat down beside her.

Her forehead furrowed, Roxanne snapped out of her reverie and stayed in her seat

as that was the only choice she had.

Before Lucian got on the plane, he was still wondering where Roxanne would be seated.

To his pleasant surprise, the moment he boarded the plane, he saw the woman next to his seat.

Noticing her reluctance to sit with him, Lucian smirked meaningfully and uttered, “As I said, I also bought a ticket for this flight.

Unfortunately, you and Mr.

Morrison didn’t even want to wait for me, Ms.

Jarvis.” Roxanne turned her head away from him and gazed at the scenery outside the window, ignoring him.

Since she couldn’t escape, she planned to treat this man as though he was a stranger and fly back to Horington uneventfully.

However, the person beside her didn’t see eye to eye with her on that.

“I’m a bit curious, Ms.Jarvis.
