Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1224

Roxanne felt her heart start to waver after hearing Lucian's words. However, she couldn't help but think that his tone sounded rather odd.

He is indeed suspecting Jack to be the culprit, but why does his last sentence...

Roxanne mulled over it for a moment when she suddenly thought of something, and a touch of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Before this, Lucian kept losing his temper with me because I was getting too close to Jack. Naturally, he's pissed off about the same thing this time as well. He's probably angry that I'm defending Jack. Wait... Could he be... jealous of Jack?

Just as that thought flashed into her mind, Roxanne snapped back to her senses and glanced at Lucian uneasily before retracting her gaze.

Somehow, I can't associate the word jealous with the man before me. It's simply impossible for Lucian to feel jealousy.

Nonetheless, now that the thought was in Roxanne's mind, it was like it had taken root and she couldn't get rid of it. As a result, she no longer dared to meet Lucian's eyes.

Her breath hitched as she said, “Although it's true that I don't know Jack that well, I just can't find any reason to doubt him since he's the project leader.”

Seemingly satisfied with her statement, Lucian gave a soft snort in response.

After hesitating for a while, Roxanne made up her mind. “Since we have different opinions, we'll let the evidence speak for itself.”

She finally had the courage to look Lucian in the eyes as she added, “What do you think of my suggestion, Mr. Farwell?”

Seeing how Roxanne was still unwilling to doubt Jack but was sensible enough to make a concession with him, Lucian felt his anger subside slightly. “Fine, I'll go along with it. I'll show you the evidence so that you can see what kind of a person he really is.”

Roxanne nodded. “The truth is all I want. Anyway, Dr. Galloway is in charge of the research institute, so I'll tell him to give you free rein during this period of time in order for you to look into this matter.”

Lucian agreed to it without saying anything more.
