Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1273

Mild disgruntlement stained Lucian’s face. “Why did he come?”

“The experiment Dr. Galloway tampered with was under Damaris Group’s project. Naturally, Mr. Damaris needed to come over and check on the situation,” Roxanne explained patiently.

Right after saying that, she frowned and chided, “Your attitude was horrible. Not only did you misunderstand him for such a long time previously, but you were even hostile with him earlier. Shouldn’t you have apologized to him?”

Lucian’s expression darkened frightfully, but in her presence, he still kept a leash on his temper. “That’s impossible.”

Jack must have some other motive to have come over. It was certainly not as simple as checking on the situation. It’d be more apt to say that he came to provoke me!

Roxanne was entirely oblivious to the silent battle that had ensued between the two men’s gazes earlier. Consequently, she found his resolute refusal pretty unreasonable.

“Where exactly did your hostility toward Mr. Damaris come from? Back at the hospital, it was because you suspected him of being the culprit who tampered with the experiment. But now, it has been proven that the matter had nothing to do with him. In fact, he was also a victim. Why do you still have such prejudice toward him now?”

When she had finished saying that, something abruptly occurred to her, and she added, “Even if you were rivals with him in the past, it has all ended now. That aside, you won. Why—”

Without waiting for her to complete her sentence, Lucian interrupted with a frown, “It has nothing to do with that matter.”

Words eluded Roxanne, and she was wholly perplexed.

She racked her brain relentlessly, but there seemed to be only one possible answer.

Could it be that… he’s still jealous?

At that thought, she eyed the grim-faced man beside her in disbelief.

Lucian’s brows were scrunched together deeply, and he didn’t appear inclined to explain things.

“You think that Mr. Damaris has feelings for me?” Roxanne ventured.

Lucian met her gaze without answering that, but the look in his eyes affirmed her conjecture.
