213 Several people were stunned to hear that voice.Roxanne‘s body instinctively stiffened at once.She
knew Lucian too well. By listening to his voice alone, she could imagine his frosty expressionat that mo
ment.
Moreover, Roxanne did not know how to face the man behind her due to recent events.However, Lucia
n had already walked in front of them.Hugo noticed Lucian‘s keen gaze on Roxanne. His expression ch
anged immediately. “Mr. Farwell…?”He did not know that Lucian had another woman apart from Aubre
e.Nevertheless, suspicion began to creep into Hugo‘s mind when he saw Lucian‘s attitude toward Roxa
nne.Lucian‘s expression turned cold when he recalled the scene of Roxanne clinking her ss with Hu
go earlier. “Mr. Reynolds, you should be careful when flirting with women. You shouldn‘t approach thos
e who already have children.”As he spoke, Lucian threw Roxanne a meaningful nce.A look of
surprise shed in Hugo‘s eyes as he heard the sarcastic remark.Roxanne has children already? I didn
‘t see thating at all. Roxanne did not expect Lucian to suddenly bring up the matter in front of a str
anger and still used it to provoke
her. Her expression darkened like a storm. “Yes, I do have two children. However, it
doesn‘t affect my life nor what kind of people I make friends with. Mr. Farwell, you don‘t have to worry a
bout me.”The surrounding temperature seemed to drop as Lucian turned his gaze to Hugo and his frien
ds. Pursing his lips, he asked, “Are you sure you want to talk about this matter here?”They were very cl
ose to the dance floor. With their outstanding looks, they began to attract the crowd‘s attention.Noticing
the curious nces from the onlookers, Roxanne clenched her fists to suppress her rising anger. Supp
orting Madilyn, she turned on her heel and strode out of the bar.Hugo subconsciously wanted to follow
Roxanne. Nevertheless, he stopped in his tracks upon seeing that Lucian was walking closely behind h
er.As the cold breeze blew against Roxanne, she began to sober up by the
time she walked to the entrance of
the bar. When Roxanne was about to hail a taxi by the roadside, she heard clear footsteps from behind
her. It was immediately followed by Lucian‘smanding tone. “Let me take you girls home.”Without
looking back, Roxanne turned down his offer. “Mr. Farwell, you don‘t have to do that. We can go home
by taxi.”Lucian‘s brows creased as he went straight for her jugr. “How long do you think you‘ll have t
o wait for a taxi in a ce like this? Or are you willing to make Archie and Benny wait for your return?”H
earing that, Roxanne froze.Roxanne did not have time to exin to Lysa when she left the house earlie
r. Moreover, she did not know what Madilyn had said to them. Could Archie and Benny be waiting for m
e right now? The stalematested
for a while as there was not a single vacant taxi on the road. Instead, Madilyn had fallen asleep.A car sl
owly stopped in front of Roxanne. The passenger seat‘s window wound down to reveal Lucian‘s stern s
ide profile. “Get in.” |Roxanne furrowed her brows at his order.However, Madilyn, who was standing bes
ide her, shuddered in cold. Upon waking up, she saw a car in front of her and mistook it for a taxi. With
out thinking, she opened the car door and settled inside.Madilyn‘s behavior made Roxanne stiffen in sh
ock. Thetter leaned over to ask Madilyn to get out of the car. Nevertheless, Roxanne saw that her be
st friend had already dozed off.After contemting for a while, Roxanne followed suit. Looking at Lucia
n in front of her, she said faintly, “Thank you, Mr. Farwell. I guess I owe you a favor now.”Lucian frowne
d without replying to her. He instructed the driver to send them to Roxanne‘s residence in a deep voice.
Soon, the car moved slowly and began to drive toward the destination.Throughout the ride, the car was
dead silent apart from the asional sounds of Madilyn s mumbling.The atmosphere inside the car wa
s heavy.From N?velDrama.Org.
