Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 797

Chapter 797 Awfully Intimate

“I believe the profits I have provided the Pearson family with over the years is enough to repay Old Mr. Pearson’s kindness toward me. I’m also willing to help the Pearson family out if the need ever arises, so marrying Aubree is completely unnecessary,” Lucian replied.

He then stared solemnly at Elias as he waited for his father to lecture him the way his mother did.

To his surprise, Elias simply nodded after a brief pause and said calmly, “Do what you believe is right. I can’t do much about your mother, though. That’s something you’ll have to deal with on your own.”

Lucian was so surprised that he froze for a few seconds after hearing that. “Thanks, Dad.”

Elias nodded. “You said you still have some business to take care of, so I won’t keep you any longer. Go and do what you have to do.”

The two of them were always quick and efficient in the way they handled things.

Lucian got up and left without saying another word.

After entering the elevator, he grabbed his phone and thought about giving Roxanne a call.

Our conversation earlier didn’t exactly end very well. I wonder if she’ll answer my call…

Meanwhile, on the third floor of the banquet hall, Roxanne was so intoxicated that she could barely stand on her feet. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the splitting headache she had only made things worse.

“Dr. Jarvis?” Having noticed her discomfort, Jack quickly stopped the people from giving her any more toasts. He then held her steady and brought her over to a corner in the banquet hall.

Roxanne glanced at him in confusion when she heard him calling out to her.

“You had one too many, didn’t you? I’ll send you home right away,” Jack said apologetically.

He had only intended to let her meet the people involved in the project. He knew there would be some drinking involved, but he wasn’t expecting her to get this drunk.
