Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Her Relationship With That Man

Roxanne had nowhere to go after fleeing the room, so she hid in the stairwell.

As she leaned against the wall and panted, she reached up to touch her aching lips. It felt as if the man’s warmth was still lingering on them.

A moment later, Roxanne lowered her eyes self-deprecatingly.

It had been many years, and she thought she had no feelings for Lucian anymore. Yet, after just one meeting with him, the man was wreaking havoc in her mind again.

After a while of recomposing herself later, Roxanne returned to the room.

The workers inside were still partying away, and they only became a little quieter when she entered.

Noticing that her mood seemed to have changed since she left the room, Colby furrowed his brows. “Why did you leave for so long? Did something happen? It’s… like something’s off with you.”

Roxanne gave him a nonchalant smile and shook her head. “It’s nothing. I gave my son a call.”

With that, she took a seat, not letting Colby ask her anything else.

Roxanne had left for quite a while. Not long after she returned, most were almost done with their partying.

Roxanne was not in the right mood, so she decided to end the party.

They all went downstairs together, and everyone bid goodbye to Roxanne and Colby.

Soon, only the two of them were left.

Colby softly suggested, “I’ll send you back if you don’t mind. You’ve drunk quite a lot tonight, and I’m worried about you.”

Roxanne inclined her head, not disagreeing with his offer. “Thank you.”

She had yet to buy a car after returning to the country.

It seems like I have to hurry up and get a car soon.
