Chapter 1398


    Just as Roxanne ended the call, someone knocked on her door.


    When she opened it, she saw Lucian standing outside.


    His eyebrows remained furrowed as though he didn’t expect her to open the door that quickly.


    “What''s the matter?” Roxanne was puzzled. “Have you taken care of your matters? It’s about time for you to leave, right?”


    Slowly, his eyebrows rxed. “Almost. | was wondering if you want me to drive you to the nursing home.”


    In reality, he just wanted to ensure she didn’t speak with Jack for too long.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Upon recalling Jack’s words, Roxanne said, “Thanks, but | don’t need to visit the nursing home today. The elderly with serious


    illnesses had received their examinations yesterday, so all that’s left today are the healthy ones.”


    “Then we should return home soon,” suggested Lucian. The children are still waiting at home, and Horington’s branch requires


    my assistance. Most importantly, if we keep staying here, it''ll be hard for me to prevent her from interacting with Jack if he shows


    up.


    Initially, she wanted to agree to that, but she was concerned there would be idents at the nursing home, so she thought about


    it and refused. “You can return first if you''re in a hurry. | think I''ll go back a littleter.”


    As he knitted his eyebrow, he gazed at her scrutinizingly.


    Knowing he had misunderstood something, Roxanne exined resignedly, “I’m worried that | missed someone with a serious


    condition yesterday. If the doctors there spot any today, I''ll be able to head over there in time to treat them. So, | want to stay in


    Jadeborough for half a day.”


    His expression rxed as he nodded. “I''ll keep youpany.”


    His tone was so natural that it stunned her.


    Lucian rified, “I brought you here, so | should be the one to bring you back. Besides, | don’t have anything important going on


    right now. | can stick around for a little longer.”


    She was touched. He didn’t say it, but | know he’s only waiting for me. Still, it''ll probably be boring to wait in the hotel for half a


    day if nothing happens in the nursing home. How about...


    When her train of thought ended, she suggested, “Since it’s still early, let’s go shopping and buy some presents for the children.”


    This way, we won''t get bored, and | can still respond to anything that crops up in the nursing home on time! Besides, we''ll be


    able to bring some presents back home for the kids. | bet they’ll be happy to receive them.


    Lucion nodded.


    Thus, they pocked their bogs ond checked out before he drove them to themerciol district.


    On their ride there, they osionolly exchonged o few words in ofortoble otmosphere.


    The lost time Roxonnee to Jodeborough wos six yeors ogo. Mony things in the city hod chonged during those six yeors, so


    much so thot she found the ploce somewhot unfomilior.


    Thonkfully, Lucion wos there to exploin potiently whot chonges hod been mode to the city, when, ond why.


    She very much enjoyed listening to hismentory.


    “| heord from Modilyn thot there’s o fomous children’s theme pork in Jodeborough.” Her tone wos filled with regret when she soid


    thot. | bet the children would be thrilled to visit thot ploce.


    He immediotely guessed whot wos on her mind with her tone olone. So, he soid, “The next time we bring them here, we''ll stop


    by the ploce.”


    Lucian nodded.


    Thus, they packed their bags and checked out before he drove them to themercial district.


    On their ride there, they asionally exchanged a few words in afortable atmosphere.


    Thest time Roxanne came to Jadeborough was six years ago. Many things in the city had changed during those six years, so


    much so that she found the ce somewhat unfamiliar.


    Thankfully, Lucian was there to exin patiently what changes had been made to the city, when, and why.


    She very much enjoyed listening to hismentary.


    “| heard from Madilyn that there’s a famous children’s theme park in Jadeborough.” Her tone was filled with regret when she said


    that. | bet the children would be thrilled to visit that ce.


    He immediately guessed what was on her mind with her tone alone. So, he said, “The next time we bring them here, we''ll stop


    by the ce.”
