Chapter 793 A Misunderstanding

After sensing something was off, Roxanne pressed her lips together and did not utter another word.

Madilyn watched as the atmosphere between Roxanne and Lucian turned tense. She decided against stepping out,

instead choosing to wait quietly in the car. Nonetheless, she couldn’t help letting her thoughts wander.

Lucian’s actions are making me second-guess myself. If Roxanne hadn’t told me he wanted to win her back, I

simply wouldn’t have believed he was a man who would attempt such a thing. Besides, the way he’s acting doesn’t

look like he’s trying to get in a woman’s good graces at all. It’s more like he’s trying to reclaim his territory.

The more Madilyn observed the former husband and wife, the more she leaned toward the theory that Lucian was

merely trying to reclaim lost territory.

“You’re going out?” Lucian repressed his anger and cast a cold glance at Roxanne. The man was clearly feigning

ignorance, for he already knew the answer to his question.

Roxanne felt somewhat guilty upon meeting the man’s eyes.

However, when she thought about the fact that she only met up with Jack because of work, her confidence began

to rise, and she responded calmly, “There’s a contract-signing ceremony I need to attend in a little while. I’m afraid

I don’t have time to attend to you, Mr. Farwell. I hope you understand.”

A slight crease appeared between Lucian’s eyebrows as he continued to probe, “Is it with Jack?”

The question startled Roxanne. “How did you know?”

I only received the notice last night. Moreover, Lucian has nothing to do with the project, so how did he know about

this?

The kids, who were in the living room, overheard their mother’s question, and guilt was written all over their little

faces. Subsequently, they quietly turned around and began playing with their Legos.

Roxanne did not suspect her children at all. Instead, she wondered if the man in front of her was investigating her

again.

Lucian appeared to have seen through her thoughts, and his gaze darkened. “I have my ways.”

His words only increased Roxanne’s suspicion. When she looked at him again, there was a hint of wariness in her

eyes. “I don’t care how you found out, but I’m heading out soon. I’d appreciate it if you would leave as well.”

“What if I refuse? The reason I’m here today is to stop you from attending the contract-signing ceremony.” The

man’s expression turned sullen, and his tone was ice cold.

To be precise, Lucian was trying to stop Roxanne from meeting up with Jack.

However, Roxanne only felt that the man was being unreasonable. “Are you done, Lucian? I’m only doing my job.

What’s the matter with you?”

A smile crept across Lucian’s face when he heard her feisty response. “The so-called job you’re talking about, Ms.

Jarvis, is it poaching from me?” he asked.

Roxanne’s brows creased slightly, for she couldn’t understand what the man was talking about.

According to my understanding, the contract-signing ceremony is between Damaris Group and Herbscape Group.

What does Lucian have to do with this?

“At first, Herbscape Group intended to sign with Farwell Group. Damaris Group must have pulled a few tricks to

make Herbscape Group back out at the last minute and ultimately refuse to sign with us. Damaris Group’s methods

greatly displeased me, so I’m not about to let their contract-signing ceremony proceed without a hitch,” Lucian

explained with a straight face as if these were his true thoughts.

For a few seconds, Roxanne stared at him suspiciously. She thought the man was merely making up an excuse.

However, she did not notice anything odd in his expression at all which meant that he was indeed telling the truth.

A strange feeling welled up within Roxanne when realization dawned upon her.

All this while, Lucian’s dissatisfaction toward Jack stemmed from their business squabbles. It wasn’t because of me

at all!

Roxanne had been feeling troubled. She thought Lucian’s misunderstanding of her relationship with Jack would

cause trouble for the latter.

As it turned out, it was she who had completely misunderstood the entire situation.
