Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 705

Chapter 705 Cannot Make Decisions On Her Behalf

After cleaning up the coffee table, Roxanne got up to go and throw away some trash when she found Lucian standing in the doorway, blocking her path. “Could you please let me through, Mr. Farwell?”

Lucian frowned when he heard her voice and turned sideways to let her pass. He watched her walk away and could not stop his gaze from flicking toward the flowers she had temporarily left on the couch. His eyes flashed with anger.

After returning from throwing the trash, she heard him ask in a low voice, “Didn’t you say you were going to treat me the same as the others?”

Roxanne halted her footsteps at those words and raised her gaze to meet his with a quizzical expression. Furrowing his brows, Lucian asked, “Why did you send back all the flowers I sent you previously, yet bring home the flowers other people give you?”

Before Roxanne could respond, she heard him press further. “So who are the flowers from? Larry? Or is it Jack?”

“They’re…” She started to answer his question without even thinking about it. The next moment, however, she noticed his awful attitude and stopped herself abruptly.

Lucian thought she was about to respond, but to his surprise, she fell silent after beginning her sentence.

After waiting for a while and still not getting an answer from her, Lucian looked even more displeased.

All Roxanne wanted was to ignore the man in front of her. She continued walking further into the house, but he grabbed her wrist.

“Why aren’t you answering?” Lucian gazed at her darkly, his suspicions about her relationship with Larry and Jack deepening.

Roxanne stopped walking and glanced back at him. She was also feeling frustrated and furious, and her gaze was cold.

“I’ve explained to you my relationship with them many a time. If you insist on misunderstanding the matter, there’s nothing I can do about that. Also, what you said earlier was something you came up with yourself. I never agreed to it.”

Lucian’s gaze grew even more sullen after he heard her reply. After a while, his lips curled with sarcasm as he remarked, “Indeed, I’ve deluded myself.”
