Chapter 611
Lysa came back after returning the flowers. She hesitated about saying something to Roxanne, who was studying some
information on herptop on the couch.
Roxanne turned around when she heard some noises near the doorway. Seeing Lysa, she asked, “Have you returned the
flowers?”
The housekeeper nodded slightly and replied, “I''ve asked someone from the florist''s to send it back.”This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
Satisfied, Roxanne wordlessly returned her attention to her work.
Though Colby had been in charge of all matters pertaining to the research institute, he still needed Roxanne to discuss a
potential coboration with the Damaris family.
Roxanne treated the matter seriously as well. In fact, during her recovery at home, she had spent most of her attention on the
research institute project.
Thankfully, Jack knew about her injury and did not hasten her progress. Instead, he allowed her to work at afortable pace.
His consideration filled Roxanne with some measure of guilt. She was determined to develop an in-depth understanding of the
project so she could pick things up more quickly once she returned to work.
As she studied the project information in rapt attention, Lysa‘s voice suddenly rang out. “Ms. Jarvis, don''t you think you''re being
a little... cold-hearted?”
Sending back flowers was undoubtedly a show of humiliation toward any gift-giver, let alone someone as revered as Lucian.
Additionally, Lucian‘s final reminder that morning moved Lysa, who was bing more convinced that Lucian‘s feelings toward
Roxanne were sincere.
+ Her housekeeper''s question brought a frown to Roxanne’s face. Tearing her gaze
from theptop screen, she responded coolly, “Nothing will ever happen between us, so returning his flowers is the only natural
thing to do.”
Upon noticing Lysa’s intent to refute her, Roxanne mustered a smile and added, “Don''t worry yourself over this. I‘ll never ept
anything from him, and that''s final.”
After that, Roxanne turned to face herptop screen, her fingers flying across the keyboard in a flurry. It was an undeniable sign
that she no longer wished to discuss the topic of Lucian’s affection.
Watching Roxanne bury her attention in work, Lysa swallowed the advice on the tip
of her tongue. She turned and entered the kitchen in resignation, sighing to herself.
After Lysa‘s departure, Roxanne’s typing speed slowed.
She found she could no longer focus wholeheartedly on her work after the housekeeper''s words.
Ever since she saw Lucian upon returning to the country for the first time, Roxanne had sensed that his attitude toward her was
completely different from six years ago.
As for why his attitude had taken such a huge turn, Roxanne dared not allow herself to imagine why.
s, Lucian‘s actions over the past two days forced her to examine his motives in deeper detail.
After all, despite Lucian‘s bold promations about how much he loved Aubree six years ago, Roxanne had never seen him give
Aubree even a single flower.
Sending flowers had always been inconsistent with Lucian‘s character, yet he had gone out of character and given her flowers
instead of Aubree.
Moreover, after returning his flowers the day before, Roxanne was surprised to receive another bouquet the next day.
Perhaps what surprised her more was her reaction when she saw the second bouquet of flowers.
There were no cards or further evidence in the bouquet pointing to Lucian as the sender, yet one look was all it took for Roxanne
to think of him.
Acting on instinct, she had Lysa send the flowers back to Lucian.
Roxanne hoped Lucian would finally understand her wishes and stay away.
At that moment, she only wished tounch a sessful coboration with the Damaris family and achieve some strides in the
field of traditional medicine.
In her eyes, Lucian‘s actions were merely a recipe for trouble.
