On the way back, Cayden gingerly peeked at Lucian through the rearview mirror as the former was in the front passenger seat.
Throughout the ride, Lucian's brows remained deeply furrowed. The tension in the car was so thick that one could cut it with a knife.
Cayden had been Lucian's subordinate for a long time, and the former had never seen his employer so vexed before.
For a moment, Cayden felt puzzled, as he was not sure what kind of feelings Lucian had for Roxanne.
Could he have feelings for Ms. Jarvis... But Mr. Farwell is engaged to Ms. Pearson, and he has never denied that to the public. On the other hand, if he doesn't like Roxanne...
Ever since Roxanne's return, Cayden clearly felt that Lucian had changed. The way Lucian treated Ms. Pearson was utterly different from the way he treated Roxanne.
When Lucian was with Aubree, he would fulfill every request she had, but he seemed to be emotionless with her.
Meanwhile, when Lucian was with Roxanne, he would have mood swings. For example, he flew into a rage because he saw her having a close relationship with another man.
Besides, Lucian's protectiveness and possessiveness for Roxanne were almost all over his face.
If this isn't love, does it mean that he's just refusing to accept the fact that she left without saying goodbye six years ago?
The longer Cayden pondered it, the more confused he felt.
Meanwhile, Roxanne and Larry were sitting in the backseat of Larry's car. As she recalled Lucian's gloomy expression just now, she felt mixed feelings welling up within her, and she kept mum for a long time.
After being in contact with Lucian and Roxanne for two days, Larry had a vague guess in his heart. Besides, he also noticed Lucian's expression just now, so Larry couldn't help but ask, “What's going on between you and Mr. Farwell?”
Since Roxanne still hadn't pulled herself out of her reverie, she was stunned for a moment and stared at Larry in puzzlement upon hearing his words.
Seeing her bewildered look, Larry explained, “I don't know if you've noticed that Mr. Farwell treats you very differently. At least, he treats you better than Aubree.”
Previously, at Alfred's birthday banquet, Larry had seen Lucian leave Aubree behind and held Roxanne's hand to lead her out of the venue.
If all these signs can't confirm that Roxanne is someone special to Lucian...
When I took her away from Lucian just now, the grimness on Lucian's face said it all.
