His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 611

Chapter 611

Lysa came back after returning the flowers. She hesitated about saying something to Roxanne, who was studying some information on her laptop on the couch.

Roxanne turned around when she heard some noises near the doorway. Seeing Lysa, she asked, “Have you returned the flowers?”

The housekeeper nodded slightly and replied, “I‘ve asked someone from the florist‘s to send it back.”

Satisfied, Roxanne wordlessly returned her attention to her work.

Though Colby had been in charge of all matters pertaining to the research institute, he still needed Roxanne to discuss a potential collaboration with the Damaris family.

Roxanne treated the matter seriously as well. In fact, during her recovery at home, she had spent most of her attention on the research institute project.

Thankfully, Jack knew about her injury and did not hasten her progress. Instead, he allowed her to work at a comfortable pace.

His consideration filled Roxanne with some measure of guilt. She was determined to develop an in–depth understanding of the project so she could pick things up more quickly once she returned to work.

As she studied the project information in rapt attention, Lysa‘s voice suddenly rang out. “Ms. Jarvis, don‘t you think you‘re being a little... cold–hearted?”

Sending back flowers was undoubtedly a show of humiliation toward any gift–giver, let alone someone as revered as Lucian.

Additionally, Lucian‘s final reminder that morning moved Lysa, who was becoming more convinced that Lucian‘s feelings toward Roxanne were sincere.

Her housekeeper‘s question brought a frown to Roxanne‘s face. Tearing her gaze

from the laptop screen, she responded coolly, “Nothing will ever happen between us, so returning his flowers is the only natural thing to do.”

Upon noticing Lysa‘s intent to refute her, Roxanne mustered a smile and added, “Don‘t worry yourself over this. I‘ll never accept anything from him, and that‘s final.”

After that, Roxanne turned to face her laptop screen, her fingers flying across the keyboard in a flurry. It was an undeniable sign that she no longer wished to discuss the topic of Lucian‘s affection.
