Chapter 171
Chapter 171 As if she sensed a pair of frosty eyes staring in her direction, Roxanne turned to observe
her surroundings in puzzlement. Nheless, she did not spot anything strange.“What’s wrong?” Larry
asked in a concerned tone as he noticed the change in her expression.Roxanne merely retracted her
gaze and shook her head, though appearing a little apprehensive. “It’s nothing.”As much as she had
said that, she seemed to be in her own world throughout the rest of the meal. She knew that the
burning gaze she felt carlier was not only her imagination. Yet, she could not find its source.Only after
finishing the meal did she reluctantly put her suspicions aside,Like a gentleman, Larry proposed, “It’s
late. Let me send you back home.”However, Roxanne turned him down politely, “There’s no need. I
drove here myself, so I better not trouble you.”Hence, Larry had no choice but to respect her
decision.The two made their way out while chatting happily, and only after watching her get into her car
did he head to his and drive out of the parking lot slowly.Conversely, Roxanne had just fastened her
seat belt and was about to start the car when someone abruptly pulled open the door on the passenger
side.Then in came a man exuding a chilly aura from head to toe.Roxanne jolted in rm and froze in
her movement but still instinctively looked in the direction of the passenger scat.After getting a good
look at the person’s face, the scowl on her face deepened. “What are you doing. Mr. Farwell?”Devoid of
expression, Lucian shut the car door. “Nothing. My car has broken down. And coincidentally, I
happened to see you here. Please drive me back, Ms. Jarvis.”The chilling aura surrounding his body
was almost palpable.Well aware how the atmosphere would only be tenser if she continued
probing, Roxanne ultimately staried the engine without uttering another word.Throughout the ride, the
car was dead silent. Lucian locked his deep gaze on the woman next to him, his brows tightly knitted
together. She’s o close with that dude… And they even met up just now. The way they interacted carlier
inade it sem like they are a couple…At this point, Lucian could no longer hold his curiosity back and
broke the silence. “That guy… Is he Archie and Benny’s father?”Roxanne was instantly stumped,
unable to believe what she had heard. I wonder how did he get to that conclusion?Her reaction made
Lucian’s frown deepen as he asked again, “It’s him?”When she finally recovered from her trance,
Roxanne replied in annoyance, “You’re overthinking things.”However, the man’s tone remained
displeased. “Then are you intending to let him be Archie and Benny’s father?”Roxanne was even
more dumbfounded. “I’m not. It’s true that I’m close to Larry, but please don’t make such baseless
assumptions, Mr. Farwell. That will cause unnecessary trouble for others.”Lucian stared at her with a
scrutinizing gaze, and his grave expression lightened up a little. “If that’s the case, you might want to be
considerate of your children and perhaps keep your distance from other men, Ms. Jarvis.”In truth,
Roxanne had found the man a little weird since he got into the car earlier. At this point, even the words
he said made her feel slightly ufortable.Hmm… why does he sound like he’s being sarcastic and
trying to imply something?Their brief conversation had already left Roxanne feeling annoyed, and her
patience ran out after she heard hisst sentence. “Mr. Farwell, what rights do you have to say that?
Do you think you’re doing fine in that aspect?”Lucian cognized the irony in her statement and furrowed
his brows slightly.Roxanne gradually stopped her car and turned her gaze toward the man beside her.
“Before you poke your nose into someone else’s business, please mind yourself first, Mr.
Farwell!”“What did I do wrongly?” Lucian’s face turned even grimmer.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
