Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449

Just when Roxanne walked over to the entrance of the research institute, she spotted Colby standing by the gates.

The man was deep in thought, for he didn’t even see her coming in. He was leaning against the wall in a trance with his face devoid of expression.

Curious, Roxanne called out to him, “What are you thinking about, Dr. Galloway?”

When her words rang out, Colby was evidently shocked. His brows furrowed, and he snapped back to his senses. Straightening, he swung his gaze at her. “The two of you have finished talking so soon?”

Roxanne nodded with a smile. “Larry is also planning to attend the Damaris family’s medical consultation. We merely chatted briefly and agreed to go together.”

At that, a flash of desolation flitted across Colby’s eyes.

When he saw Roxanne with Larry at noon, he had no appetite during lunch. He merely took a few bites before driving back and waiting for Roxanne at the gates.

As he was waiting, he subconsciously thought of the gap between them.

Further hearing that Roxanne would be attending the medical consultation with Larry, he found the distance between them increasingly vast.

Colby suppressed the misery within him and nonchalantly flashed Roxanne a smile. “It’s good that the two of you are going together. You can keep each other company.”

Roxanne didn’t think much of it, merely presuming that he was disappointed because he couldn’t attend the Damaris family’s medical consultation. She patted his arm in consolation. “Don’t overthink things. You’re very outstanding as well. It’s just that there are limited spots available on the Damaris family’s end. Otherwise, we could go together.”

Colby flashed her a forced smile. “It’s okay. We’re both working at the research institute, so it makes no difference which of us attends.”

After saying that, he hurriedly took his leave from her without waiting for her response and went back to the office himself.

Roxanne was utterly bewildered at the sight of his quickly retreating figure. Nonetheless, she didn’t pay it much mind but went back to her office with her handbag
