Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1534

“What's wrong? I notice that you did not drink any wine.”

Jack suddenly looked at the person beside him and asked concernedly, “Are you unwell? What's the matter? Would you like me to take a look?”

As he spoke, his hand reached out to take Roxanne's wrist.

Roxanne pursed her lips and put on a weak smile. “There's no need. I'm a little tired as I did not sleep well last night. Please carry on and have fun with them. I'll take a rest for a while.”

She calmly retreated and avoided contact with Jack. She gave a light nod before turning around to leave.

Displeasure hit Jack as he stared at her back.

The hickey on her neck was the answer to why she did not sleep well last night! I can't wait any longer! I must make a move quickly!

After leaving the banquet, Roxanne headed to a nearby cafe for coffee and relaxation.

But at the thought of Jack's recent attitude, she felt annoyed again.

Just then, a message came from Lucian asking about her. How are you feeling? Go home and rest if you are tired. The research institute matters can be settled some other time.

Roxanne felt warm when she saw his care and concern. But she could not help being grouchy in her reply as she was upset with Jack's behavior. So, you knew I'll be tired today, huh... But it's okay. The medication was successfully developed, and we're celebrating outside now.

Lucian frowned slightly as he saw Roxanne's reply. He texted back. Is Jack there too?

Roxanne became more frustrated when Jack was mentioned. He's the one who initiated the celebration. I couldn't reject him as the staff in the research institute were in high spirits.

Roxanne's reply clearly showed her displeasure toward Jack, though she did not directly say so.

Lucian, however, was concerned about something else. Did you drink?

Roxanne pulled a face and replied. They're drinking, but I'm not in the mood.
