Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1537

A cold look flashed past Jack's eyes when he heard her reject him firmly, but he was quick to suppress it.

“I'm serious about this, Roxanne. We need to date each other if we want to truly maximize our potential. Don't you want to develop your career in the medical field?” Jack pleaded earnestly with an expectant look in his eyes.

However, his ambitious confession only scared Roxanne even more. “I do want to develop my career, but not like this! You've had too much to drink, Mr. Damaris. Let's end this conversation here.”

Roxanne was about to get up and leave when Jack let out a wry chuckle. “I knew it... I knew you would reject me, Roxanne. I just didn't think you'd do so without at least giving me a chance. Is being with me really that bad? I don't even know how Lucian is better than me.”

Roxanne closed her eyes and calmed herself down before replying coldly, “This has nothing to do with Lucian. I simply don't have feelings for you. Still, I would like to thank you for not resorting to nasty methods like Colby did.”

She then walked right out of the door without looking back.

Jack narrowed his eyes as he watched her disappear from sight. He then grabbed a handful of coffee beans and stuffed them into his mouth. The look in his eyes cleared up a little as he chewed on the coffee beans.

I thought this would be all I needed to do to make Roxanne a part of my family, but it seems I was wrong. Roxanne won't comply unless I use force. I can't believe she actually thanked me for not using nasty methods like Colby! I gave you a chance to make a choice, Roxanne, so don't blame me for what I might do in the future!

Jack had an icy-cold look on his face as he stared at the steaming pot of coffee on the table.

Roxanne waved goodbye at the staff, who had yet to leave, as she walked out of the cafe.

I don't know how I'll face Jack after saying all of those things to him! Our partnership is still ongoing, so I can't turn my back on him just yet.

After making her way downstairs with a worried frown on her face, Roxanne noticed a Bentley with a familiar-looking license plate parked nearby.
