His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 1162

Chapter 1162

The atmosphere between the two men turned silent abruptly as both kept quiet afterward.

Colby looked down at the experiment, his mind racing with various thoughts.

I cannot allow Jack and Roxanne to interact further in this manner.I must think of a way! All of a sudden, Jack's phone rang.

The man looked at the incoming caller ID and smiled apologetically at the other two in the room.

"Excuse me.My grandpa is calling me.He probably wants to check on the progress of our experiment." Roxanne nodded in understanding.

Soon, Jack left the research facility with his phone.

Roxanne wanted to step forward to help out, but Colby waved his hand in dismissal.

"You can stay there and get some rest.The reaction has already started.I can keep watch by myself."

Once the reaction began, there would not be much for them to do.

Their only task would be to monitor the entire process to ensure no accident happened.

Hearing that, Roxanne did not insist further and returned to her seat.She could not help but be reminded of Jack's gesture earlier.

Even though she could not fathom his intention, based on that earlier incident alone, she felt that she had to keep a distance from him.

Meanwhile, Colby stole glances at Roxanne before carefully picking up a bottle of material on the laboratory bench.

Seizing the moment of her inattention, he cautiously added another part of the liquid from that bottle into the flask and swiftly replaced the bottle on the bench.He was quick with his actions, not to mention the material he poured was colorless and odorless.

As a result, when Roxanne came closer to inspect the progress of the reaction, she did not notice anything unusual.

Not long after, Jack returned from outside.

Roxanne asked concernedly, "What did Old Mr.Damaris say?"

"Grandpa told me to assist you all to the best of my abilities after learning that the experiment is progressing smoothly." He beamed at her.

In response, she nodded and fell silent afterward.
