His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 1422

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.

“Are you free tomorrow at noon? Let's have lunch together,” Lucian suggested.

He was determined to let Roxanne get some rest.

Roxanne fell silent for a few moments when she heard the time he mentioned before replying apologetically, “Sorry, I'm not free.”

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

Roxanne scratched her nose sheepishly. “I've promised to meet up with Mr. Damaris for lunch tomorrow to discuss a project.”

Jack Damaris?

Lucian's expression instantly darkened.

We've hardly been in contact these few days, and yet she's been contacting him?

What the elderlies from the nursing home said echoed in Lucian's mind once again.

After all, he and Roxanne did not work in the same industry. Plus, the woman was a workaholic, causing their quality time together to minimize.

Lucian felt threatened when he realized that.

Taking note of the man's silence, Roxanne softened her tone and explained, “I want to stay in Chanaea and be with Essie. Hence, I was thinking of expanding the research institute. A collaboration with the Damaris family would be of great help to the development of our research institute.”

Naturally, Lucian would not stop her from expanding her career.

Although he was unhappy when he heard her say that, he had no choice but to relent. “All right. I'll invite you to lunch another day then. I hope you won't keep rejecting me.”

Roxanne was surprised, for she did not expect him to give in that easily. Momentarily stunned, she agreed with a smile

After ending the call with Roxanne, Lucian called the three children and asked them for a favor.

The children were quick to agree.
