Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1708

Chapter 1708 Not Answering The Phone

"I'll develop the antidote.”

Roxanne sounded determined. "I'm sure he'll make excessive demands from us every time we ask for an antidote from him if we do as he says this time. Do you really want to agree to his demands?”

She was displeased. “Didn't you say you trust me? I'm sure I can do it!”

Naturally, Lucian knew Jack would make more excessive demands in the future. However, he had no choice but to accept it for Roxanne's sake.

When he saw Roxanne's determination, he gradually gained confidence in her.

The two gazed at each other for what seemed like forever before Lucian compromised, “Okay, I got it. We'll do as you say. I'll annul the statement, and we can continue to work together.”

A smile crept onto Roxanne's face after he gave in.

Lucian finally stood up after they decided on what to do.

Roxanne thought he was going onto the bed to rest, so she made space for him.

With a deep gaze, Lucian said, “I'm thankful foryour invitation, darling. But you just recovered, and the bed is too small. I don't want you to feel squeezed, so I'll take the couch.”

Before Roxanne could respond, Lucian turned and walked to the couch by the door.

Roxanne belatedly realized what he had called her and started to blush.

Watching him lie down on the couch, she also slowly lay down.

Lucian turned off the light, and the ward was plunged into darkness.

The two kept their silence, each with their own thoughts.

Early the following day, Jack opened the social media app and looked up news about Farwell Group and the research institute.

According to his agreement with Lucian, the latter should have already released a statement about the termination of the contract on the internet at that hour.

He waited for an hour, but there was no sign of Farwell Group releasing the statement.
