“Yes. I like Essie a lot, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to marry you.” Without giving Lucian a chance to answer her, she added, “What happened six years ago is still fresh in my mind. I don't wish to make the same mistakes. You shouldn't trouble yourself anymore, Mr. Farwell.”
Roxanne sounded anxious as she spoke. She could sense Lucian's intense gaze on her.
Fortunately for her, she managed to say whatever she wanted to say.
Lucian stared at her for a long time, and he thought of explaining himself. However, he changed his mind when he heard Roxanne's last sentence. I did her wrong six years ago, and I've hurt her. I can't blame her for not trusting me. No matter what I say, I doubt she'll listen to me now. In fact, she might even think I'm making excuses for myself.
At that thought, Lucian said, “I was wrong for using Essie as an excuse. Regarding my feelings for you, I think you'll see my sincerity in due time.”
Roxanne had never seen this side of Lucian, so she didn't know how to react at that moment.
Meanwhile, Lucian had already gestured for the server to bring him the bill.
When they left the restaurant, Roxanne was still in a daze.
“Miss, your flowers!” the server called out just as they reached the entrance and ran toward her with the bouquet.
Roxanne snapped out of her daze and remembered that she had gone in with the bouquet in her arms.
When she turned around, she saw the server panting lightly. With the bouquet in her arms, the server looked at Roxanne enviously and said, “Don't forget about your flowers, Miss.”
Roxanne shifted her gaze toward the bouquet.
By then, the server had already reached out to pass her the bouquet.
Seeing that, Roxanne had no choice but to accept the flowers and thank the server.
