Chapter 397


    Naturally, Roxanne wouldn‘t tell Jonathan about the matter between her and Lucian.


    Apart from that, however, she indeed had no reason to refuse a ride from Lucian.


    After mulling it over, she relented in the


    end. She slowed her pace and walked side by side with the man.


    When they reached the entrance of the parking lot, they promptly spotted Lucian a near distance away.


    The man was wearing a ck trench coat, standing next to his car with his back ramrod straight and hi


    s eyes fixated in their direction. The instant his eyes alighted on the woman beside Jonathan, his gaze


    seemingly darkened imperceptibly.


    “Why didn‘t you wait in the car? It‘s so chilly,” Jonathanmented casually.


    Lucian merely ordered, “Get in the car.”


    Having said that, he swept his gaze over Roxanne before bending slightly and climbing into the car.


    Roxanne


    had made up her mind to hitch a ride with him. But for some inexplicable reason, a sense of apprehensi


    on slithered into her when sheid eyes on the man.


    Hence, she stood by the car, incapable of moving.


    Clocking her hesitation, Jonathan urged, “Quick, get into the car, Dr. Jarvis.“.

    Roxanne snapped back to her senses. Hoping to keep him from noticing any oddity, she nodded impas


    sively and headed toward the passenger seat.


    Since she had no choice but to sit in the same car with Lucian, she wanted to minimize


    her contact with him as much as possible.


    Unfortunately, Jonathan had already opened the passenger door when she made to head over and dec


    lared, “It‘ll be too cramped with two men sitting in the back. Make do with Lucian, Dr. Jarvis.”


    Right after saying that, he bent down and slid into the passenger seat.


    In a sh, Roxanne was the only one lest standing outside the car. She stared


    at the back seat, caught between a rock and a difficult ce.


    She wasn‘t sure whether she was overthinking


    things, but everything that happened that night seemed too much of a coincidence.


    Jonathan was behaving very strangely as well.


    It was as though he had nned everything.


    If she


    hadn‘t known that the man had no idea about her rtionship with Lucian, she was almost positive that


    it was all his scheme.


    After standing outside for several seconds, Roxanne bit the bullet and circled over. Swinging open the c


    ar door, she got into the car.


    When she had settled in, she reflexively nced at the man beside her.


    Lucian seemed to have imbibed a little too much. He appeared rather indolent as he reclined against th


    e seat with a hand propped against his templenguidly. His eyes were closed lightly, and he didn‘t rea


    ct to her getting into the car.


    Seeing that, Roxanne surreptitiously breathed a sigh of relief. She did her best to stick as close to the c


    ar window as possible to keep her distance from him.


    The car then started moving slowly.


    Roxanne furtively rejoiced that she would be alighting from the car before Jonathan so things wouldn‘t b


    Unexpectedly, Jonathan eximed out of the blue when the car passed an intersection, “I suddenly rem


    When Roxanne heard that, her heart instantly clenched.


    It‘s still a distance away from my ce, so I‘d have no choice but to face Lucian if he


    were to get out of the car here...


    At that thought, the urge to do the same seized her.


    Regretfully, that would appear too deliberate.


    While she was still hesitating, Jonathan had already opened the car door and climbed out of the car. He


    Lucian nodded nonmittally.


    Then, Jonathan said to Roxanne with a smile, “Remember to text me when you arrive home so that I ca


    Roxanne murmured her acquiescence stiffly.


    When the car door had closed, the car continued driving slowly.
