Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1397

Roxanne wasn't sure what was going on with herself, but she really didn't want to be misunderstood by Lucian, especially regarding her relationship with Jack.

After ending her sentence, she gazed at his expression carefully.

Her explanation calmed him down, prompting him to withdraw his frigid expression.

“He wasn't acting differently last night, and I had no conflict with him. I don't know why he suddenly checked out.” He spoke as though his dispute with Jack last night didn't happen.

Fearing that she might have misunderstood him, Roxanne held back from further thinking about the matter and nodded. “Then I'll give him a call.”

Lucian's eyes darkened as he felt the urge to stop her.

However, he just kept quiet because he believed he should act magnanimously after she explained their relationship voluntarily.

After she bade him goodbye, she returned to her room and called Jack.

It took a while before he answered the phone. “What's the matter, Ms. Jarvis?”

Frowning, Roxanne confronted, “The cleaner said you checked out last night.”

“Mhm,” said Jack, thinking she was wondering why he had left.

To his surprise, she questioned, “What about today's medical consultation? Are you still going?”

To his surprise, she questioned, “What about today's medical consultation? Are you still going?”

Without hesitation, she agreed passionately, “Sure! Oh, I almost forgot. How are you feeling right now? I remember you drank a lot last night. Do you feel unwell?”

Jack asked probingly, “I was planning to send you back first, but Mr. Farwell insisted on doing it instead. Did he take good care of you?”

“Yes, he did.” She forced herself to answer calmly and tersely as she didn't want to say anything more than that.

Upon listening to her reply, he scowled. Something must've happened last night! Why else would she be so unwilling to speak further?

“You should rest if you're tired, Mr. Damaris. I won't bother you anymore,” uttered Roxanne nonchalantly.

Knowing he shouldn't say anything else, Jack replied in a deep voice and waited for her to hang up the phone.

Immediately after the call ended, he glowered. If my guess is correct, her attitude toward Lucian has softened! It's only a matter of time before they remarry if I keep waiting! I need to do something!
