Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 809

Chapter 809 Deteriorating Relationship

After giving Lucian an indifferent nod, Jonathan looked at his friend in a thoughtful manner. “I heard that Dr. Jarvis has not only participated in the collaboration between Damaris Group and Herbscape Group, but the latter has also offered her the role of technical advisor. I wonder what her thoughts about the matter are.”

That was the first time Lucian had heard about it. His heart clenched, and his already gloomy expression darkened further. “I don’t know.”

He had thought that Roxanne would be more cautious after he had revealed to her how Jack had snatched Herbscape Group away from him the day before.

Yet little did he expect Herbscape Group to directly approach Roxanne to be their technical advisor. As the possibility of her agreeing to it crossed his mind, Lucian couldn’t help but feel incensed.

Jonathan was surprised by the drastic change in Lucian’s expression. “Lucian, have you not succeeded in your pursuit of Dr. Jarvis?”

When Lucian simply shot him a glance without denying it, Jonathan couldn’t help feeling what a shame it was.

With how eligible he is, he could’ve had any woman he wanted. Instead, not only he insisted on keeping his eye on Roxanne, but he also failed in his pursuit despite all the effort he expended.

Jonathan cleared his throat, suppressed the surprise within him, and commented with a smile, “Well, you were at fault six years ago. It only makes sense for Dr. Jarvis to resent you for it.”

The mere mention of the past made Lucian scowl.

The two times Roxanne had gotten drunk had shown him how much hurt he had inflicted upon her six years ago.

He no longer felt the right to complain about her resentment toward him and the distance she had placed between them.

All he wanted to do now was to make amends.
