His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 725

Chapter 725 Why Did You Not Pick Us Up

“What’s wrong?”

Noticing the grim look on her face, Jack frowned and inquired.

However, Roxanne just waved at him before throwing Jessica a glance.

Did Jessica do this on purpose? Why did she choose such a strong wine for dinner?

Nevertheless, when Roxanne didn’t notice anything amiss after drinking it, she wondered if she had been overthinking what was going on.

After downing two glasses of wine, the three of them fell into another awkward silence.

After all, the reason they were gathered was just to hear Jessica’s apology.

Cognizant of the tension, Jessica exchanged pleasantries briefly before getting up to take her leave.

Once she was gone, Jack turned toward Roxanne. “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat someplace else?”

Both of them barely ate and the food was already cold.

Nonetheless, Roxanne, feeling a little woozy, wondered what sort of wine had Jessica ordered. Although she only had a small glass, the after-effects were extremely strong.

In response to Jack’s question, she shook her head with a frown. “It’s fine. I should head back earlier anyway, as the children should be home by now. I can’t let them wait up for me.”

Naturally, Jack didn’t insist and got up to leave with her.

When they went down the stairs upon leaving the restaurant, Roxanne accidentally slipped and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Jack noticed it and turned around to catch her in the nick of time.

“Thank you,” Roxanne murmured before retracting her hand.

Jack flashed a smile. “No problem.”
