His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 858

Chapter 858 That Is Not What I Meant

A corner of Jack’s lips quirked up. The one billion and two hundred million I forked out last night do make a big difference. He was not surprised by Dean’s humble behavior that day.

Oblivious to what had happened between the two men last night, Roxanne kept mum and stood behind Jack. The moment they stepped into Herbscape Group, Roxanne’s phone rang.

The two men stopped walking and turned around to look at her. Roxanne responded with an apologetic smile before fishing out her phone from her pocket. Her expression stiffened when she saw the caller’s name on the screen.

“What’s wrong? Are the kids not feeling well?” Jack expressed his concern.

Roxanne froze for a bit upon hearing that. After regaining her composure, she hung up the phone and smiled. “It’s not an urgent matter. Let’s sign the papers first, shall we?”

Jack and Dean did not think much. They turned around and continued walking. However, Roxanne’s phone rang again after she took a few steps.

Her heart sank when she saw the name on the screen. This time, she apologized to Jack and Dean. “I’m sorry. I have to take this call. Please proceed without me. I’ll catch up with you shortly.”

After bobbing her head at the men, Roxanne turned around, walked to the entrance, and answered the call. Before she could speak, she heard Estella wailing from the other end of the phone.

“What’s wrong? What happened to Essie?” Roxanne was worried about the little girl.

Lucian suppressed his displeasure and answered in a deep voice, “She wants to see you. If you’re available, please do me another favor.”

He could not help but brood over how quickly Roxanne had ended the first call he made. I don’t know what she’s thinking, but I believe she’s throwing a tantrum.
