Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 585

Chapter 585

"By the way, how did you injure your leg?" Jack asked out of curiosity during the journey.

Roxanne’s heart skipped a beat when she recalled how she got hurt, but she steadied herself and answered calmly, "I accidentally got cut by the sharp edge of a conch during an outing two days ago.It's not a big deal."

Jack was amused as he did not know the detail of the incident.

"I'm surprised to learn that you got cut by a conch because you seem vigilant when you're on duty." Roxanne pressed her lips and smiled.

"I didn't think it would happen to me either."

They had fun talking to each other throughout the journey.

When they arrived at Roxanne's residence, Jack helped Roxanne get down from the car.

They were all smiles while talking about fun stories in the medical line.

While Roxanne was still grinning from ear to ear, a cold voice emerged from a distance away.

"It looks like Mr.Jarvis is in a good mood."

Lucian stood in front of the mansion and looked at them with a deadpan expression.

The smile on Roxanne's face instantly vanished into thin air when she heard his voice.

Upon noticing the change in her expression, Jack, too, stopped smiling and gave the man a confused look.

He looked at Lucian and raised his brows.

"Do you know each other?"

Both Lucian and Jack came from two prominent families in Horington.

Though the Damaris family had lived in seclusion for years, Jack could still recognize Lucian as they had met before.

Jack was aware of Roxanne’s relationship with the Queen family.

He could somewhat understand how they got connected.

After all, she was a renowned doctor, and the Queens were in the pharmaceutical industry.But he was surprised to learn that Roxanne was acquainted with Lucian.

Jack got even more confused when he heard Lucian's question.

Even though Roxanne claimed they were merely acquaintances, Lucian seemed to know about Roxanne’s injured leg and things that happened in her house.

Jack began to believe they were more than acquaintances.

Roxanne knew Lucian did that on purpose.She could not help but knit her brows and maintain a distance from the man.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr.Farwell.My leg is fine."

Lucian was irritated by how Roxanne tried to keep a distance from him.He looked at Jack and said, "I heard about the collaboration between Ms.Jarvis and the Damaris family.The collaboration must have gone well so far, I believe?"

Jack knew nothing about their relationship.He nodded and replied, "Ms.Jarvis is a capable person, and my grandfather has a good impression of her."

He thought Lucian was trying to exchange pleasantries with him.

But it turned out the latter just wanted him to leave.

"I'm glad the collaboration went well, but I hope you two can keep a distance from each other.Thanks for sending her home, Mr.Damaris.I'll take it from here.You can leave now."
