Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 724

Chapter 724 Please Do Not Take Offence

Her arrival brought a sense of relief to Roxanne and Jack who responded with a faint smile. “It’s all right. Please take a seat.”

Nodding in acknowledgment, Jessica sat down beside them. However, at the sight of the untouched food on the table, she looked at them in surprise. “Didn’t I ask you to start first? Why did you wait for me? I’m really sorry that the food is now cold.”

As for Jack, he gave her a perfunctory reply. “Since you’re the host, it’s right that we wait for you.”

He had barely spoken when silence descended upon the table.

When Jessica wasn’t around, she and Jack could still talk about the partnership.

Now that the former had arrived, they would have to stop.

When Jack’s eyes met hers, he easily guessed what was on her mind. Taking the initiative to break the silence, he said, “Jessica, didn’t you mention that this meal…”

Jessica then got to her feet and raised her glass at Roxanne. “I had too much to drink the other night, Ms. Jarvis. Therefore, I hope that you’ll excuse my behavior. This toast is a symbol of my apology!”

No sooner had she spoken than she downed her glass of wine in a single gulp. After that, she showed her empty glass to them and even paused in front of Roxanne to hint at her.
