Mission To Remarry

Lucian had mentioned visiting Roxanne in the past few days, but she rejected him by saying she had work to do.

When he heard Estella mention that Roxanne was rarely home, he finally realized how hard she had been working recently.

Lucian frowned. “Why? Is there work that you have to complete?”
