His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 1401

“When did you buy it?” questioned Roxanne with a slightly tense tone and trembling eyelashes. We didn't leave each other when we were in the mall, and I didn't see him buy a gift.

“When did you buy it?” questioned Roxanne with a slightly tense tone and trembling eyelashes. We didn't leave each other when we were in the mall, and I didn't see him buy a gift.

Lucian knitted his eyebrow and answered in a resigned tone, “When I brought my bags here earlier. I didn't expect you to get lost when I was delayed for a few minutes.”

His lips curled into a wry smile when he recalled the rare dazed look on her face from earlier.

When he brought that up, she blushed and reflexively avoided his stare, inadvertently shifting her line of sight to the box on the seat.

Still, she approached a few doctors and asked them about the situation. It wasn't until she had confirmation the residents were doing fine that she relaxed.

Before she left, she came across a few of the residents she examined yesterday.

They were worried when they saw Jack wasn't with her. “Why didn't you visit with Dr. Damaris today, Dr. Jarvis? Did you two have a fight?”

Roxanne was bidding the other residents goodbye with a smile when she heard that. Her grin froze before she turned around and explained resignedly to the old woman speaking to her. “You have misunderstood our relationship, granny. Dr. Damaris and I are just colleagues...”
