His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 699

Chapter 699 Your Company Is More Than Enough

Jack excused himself to answer a phone call in the middle of the meal. He

returned with an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, my grandpa summoned me back

but didn’t explain why.”

Roxanne smiled considerately. “You should hurry up and return since Old Mr.

Damaris is looking for you. I’ll go home by myself.” He apologized again before

rising to leave.

She finished her meal alone before glancing at the time. It was already one in

the afternoon. She got a little worried thinking about the kids at home and got up

to pay the bill.

“The gentleman who left has already paid the bill,” the staff said, smiling.

Roxanne was surprised to hear that. Didn’t we agree that I will treat him to this

meal as a thank-you gesture? Yet he settled the bill…

“Oh, this is a gift from that gentleman.” The staff handed her a bouquet, a look

of envy plain on her face. “You’re so lucky.” Roxanne was caught off guard

when her relationship with Jack was once again misconstrued.

Her gaze strayed to the flowers when she was about to explain herself.

Although Jack’s intentions were unclear, his actions could give the wrong

impression.

She was afraid of muddling up the situation by over-explaining. At that thought,

she smiled ruefully and accepted the bouquet without saying anything before

turning to leave the restaurant.

Roxanne managed to hail a cab after waiting at an intersection for a while. She

hugged the bouquet to herself and slid into the car, her phone pinging with a

text from Jack: I’m home.

Just as she was about to reply to his text and ask about the bouquet, another

Roxanne’s expression hardened.

She then received another text from Jack: I was only kidding. I gave you the

flowers on Jamie’s behalf as a token of gratitude. After all, the orphanage is the

Damaris family’s responsibility, and you have been an enormous help to us.

As though afraid she wouldn’t believe him, he added: There are many lilies, and

they symbolize gratitude, so it wouldn’t cause a misunderstanding when the kids

see it.

Only then did she realize how many lilies were in the arrangement, with a few

accent flowers that she couldn’t name nestled among them.

Chagrin flashed deep in Roxanne’s eyes at his words.

Even Archie and Benny would not have misinterpreted the situation, yet she did.

What is going on with me lately?
