Mission To Remarry

Roxanne glanced at the time after Sonya and Elias left. “It's getting late. I should be heading back now. I can't rest easy knowing that the kids are home alone.”

“I'll send you home,” Lucian said with a frown.

It was indeed rather late, and Aubree's whereabouts were still unknown. It was possible that she would pop out of nowhere and try to take Roxanne's life. Lucian didn't feel safe letting Roxanne go home by herself.

Roxanne knew he was worried about her safety, so she chose not to turn his offer down. “Thanks.”

After getting into the car, the two of them talked about Aubree as Lucian drove slowly toward Roxanne's house.

“I wonder where Aubree is right now. I can't rest easy until she's behind bars...” Roxanne mumbled with a worried look in her eyes while gazing at the scenery outside.

Lucian slowed the car down a little as he reassured her, “We have solid evidence against her, so the police won't let her get away with it. In the meantime, I will also do everything I can to find her. Until she is caught, I will have my men protect you and the kids in secret.”
