“I should ask you to stay for a meal, but Lysa hasn't returned yet, and my leg is still injured, so forget about it.” Roxanne stubbornly continued to chase Lucian away. “I think you're pretty busy. Since you have other things to attend to, I don't think you should waste your time here.”
When she concluded her sentence, she could almost feel the rage spewing out of his eyes swallowing her. Her heart clenched as she wondered what he would do next.
Lucian stared at her for a long time before he snorted. “You saw that?”
Both of them knew what she saw.
Roxanne's expression dimmed. Silence filled the air for a brief moment before she spoke. “It must be something important if Ms. Pearson is looking for you at this time of the day. You should meet her as soon as possible.”
“If I go to meet her, what about you?” Lucian asked in a deep voice.
A strange feeling appeared in her heart. Aubree is his fiancee, and he has loved her for many years. How can I ever be compared to her ? It feels as though he saying it to mock me.
When her thoughts ended there, she regained her composure and replied plainly, “My injury is all good now. Besides, I'm currently in my own house. I can just sit here and wait for Lysa to return. There's no need for you to worry, Mr. Farwell.”
Despite the clear intentions she was expressing with her statements, Lucian still refused to leave.
Roxanne frowned as she tried to make herself sound calm. “Besides, I don't think it's appropriate for you to stay with me here at my house, while your fiancee waits for you to return.”
That prompted him to furrow his eyebrows. The rage in his eyes subsided. He raised his eyebrow and asked, “Are you... jealous, Ms. Jarvis?”
That stumped her because she didn't expect he would say such a
thing. Jealous? Is he listening to what he has just said? What kind of relationship does he think we have? Or does he still remember what I said when I was drunk...
