Roxanne frowned, but she didn’t urge him to move aside.
When almost of the people got off the plane, Lucian rose to his feet placidly.
The two then got off the plane one after the other.
Meanwhile, Larry and Cayden were already waiting for them outside.
While they were on the plane just now, Larry saw Lucian sitting next to Roxanne, but the plane had takenoff, so he couldn’t do anything about it.
Upon seeing Lucian, Larry merely greeted the former out of courtesy, then turned to look at Roxanne.
“You don’t have a car.
I’ll send you back.” Roxanne replied with a smile, “Thanks, Larry.”
As she spoke, she completely ignored the man beside her and strode over to Larry’s side.
Seeing the woman, who had been giving him the cold shoulder, smile at another man, Lucian was naturally displeased and extended hishand to grab her wrist.
The smile on Roxanne’s face gradually faded as she turned around to face Lucian.
“Mr. Farwell, what else do you want?” Lucian gazed into her eyes, but he couldn’t find any tracesof amicability in them.
What he found were only distance and distress.
Realizing that she didn’t want to communicate with him at all, Lucian tightened his grip on her unthinkingly.
“Let me send you.” Upon hearing that, Roxanne forced a smile placidly.
“No need.
Mr. Farwell, you’re a busy man.
I’d better not waste your time.
Besides, I’m closer to Larry than you, Mr. Farwell.
I won’t feel burdened if Larry sends me home.” Lucian’s expression turned gloomy instantly.
Although Roxanne had repeatedly emphasized that they were just strangers to one another, it was the first time she said in frontof him that she was closer to another man.
Turning a blind eye to the change in his expression, Roxanne looked at the hand gripping hers, then glanced around and noticed that they had attracted the
attention ofnumerous onlookers.
“Mr.Farwell, thank you for your kind offer.
If there’s nothing else, let go of me now.
Otherwise, rumors of us dating will spread.
I don’t want Ms.Pearson to misunderstand our relationship.” At the mention of Aubree, Lucian loosened his grip on Roxanne.
Because of Aubree, his mother had had serious conversations with him, and it even – caused trouble for Roxanne.
Lucian didn’t want to bring any trouble to her life because of himself.
However, Roxanne surmised that he relented because he cared about his relationship with Aubree.
Roxanne couldn’t help but feel a hint of irony in her heart.
Since he cares so much about Aubree, why did he pester me now and again?
Not wishing to dwell on that matter, Roxanne shookoff his hand and walked over to Larry.
“Let’s go.” Larry bobbed his head before nodding to Lucian out of courtesy and leading Roxanne out.
As Lucian watched the two leave side by side, the temperature around him turned colder.
All the while, Cayden stood silently at the side.
When he saw that Roxanne had entered Larry’s car, Cayden turned around to look at his employer, feeling nervous.
It wasn’t until Larry’s car left that Cayden spoke tentatively.
“Mr.Farwell, we should go too…” Lucian hummed a response, his gaze darkening.
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 goodbyesix 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 keptmum 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 hiswords.
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 Aubreebehind and held Roxanne’s hand to lead her out of the venue.
At that time, Larry had caught sight of Aubree’s darkened expression.
Besides, Lucian had immediately hung up on Aubree just because Roxanne almost fell that morning.
If all these signs can’t confirm that Roxanne is someone special to Lucian…When I took her away fromLucian just now, the grimness on Lucian’s face said it all.
“Larry, what do you mean?” Roxanne knew what Larry was trying to say, but she still feigned ignorance.
Initially, she expected that Larry would follow her lead and drop the matter, but she
was wrong.Larry pointed it out directly.
“Do you think what kind of feelings Mr.
Farwell has for you?” The sudden question caused her heart to skip a beat.
Her pupils contracting, she replied in a self-mocking tone, “I don’t know.
At first, I thought he would hate me because of what happened six years ago.
But since I met him again, his actions made me a little confused.”
Larry spoke solemnly.
“Have it ever crossed your mind that he probably likes you?”
As soon as he said that, Roxanne raised her gazeto look at him in shock.
Larry’s expression remained solemn.
