Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 449

Just when Roxanne walked over to the entrance of the research institute, she spotted Colby standing by the gates.

The man was deep in thought, for he didn’t even see her coming in. He was leaning against the wall in a trance with his face devoid of expression.

Roxanne nodded with a smile. “Larry is also planning to attend the Damaris family’s medical consultation. We merely chatted briefly and agreed to go together.”

At that, a flash of desolation flitted across Colby’s eyes.
