Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 170

Since Alfred's treatment had come to an end, all that was required next was to prescribe him medication regularly and remind him to take the pills on time.

As such, there was no need for Roxanne to head over to the Queen residence now and then. And now that she had plenty of time, she spent almost the whole day at the research institute, either handling miscellaneous work or heading to the research facility and joining the other researchers in the research.

As Colby had been working as her assistant while she was overseas previously, he continued helping her. Needless to say, the two had a great rapport.

That particular day, the two walked out of the research facility earlier than usual as they had finally achieved a breakthrough in their research.

Colby suggested, “Since we've been so busy for the past few days, why don't we have a meal together to celebrate?”

Roxanne glanced at the time and apologized, “Let's do it another day. I still have to pick my kids up.”

It did not seem proper for Colby to insist since Roxanne had given that reason. And so, the two left the research institute and went in separate ways.

Upon getting into the car, Roxanne's phone rang again. This time, it was a call from Larry.

“What is it, Larry?”

Larry's gentle voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Do you have time later? We haven't had time to meet up after coming back here. I wonder if I have the honor of having you join me for a meal, Dr. Jarvis?”

Just as Roxanne wanted to use the same excuse she had given Colby earlier, Larry interrupted, “I've booked a restaurant and am only waiting for you to come over.”

Hearing that, she swallowed her words back.

It was true that she was in a rush to pick up the three children, but since Larry was so adamant about having a meal with her, she reckoned it would be inappropriate if she refused any further.

Besides, Larry had offered her a lot of help when she was abroad. No matter what, it did not seem right for her to leave the man all by himself.

“All right. Where are you? I'll head over now.” Eventually, she accepted his invitation.

At once, Larry gave her the restaurant's name and location, almost as though he knew her answer beforehand.
