Chapter 640


    Sensing Jessica’s animosity, Jessica pursed her lips and muttered, “I think you’ve misunderstood


    something. I—”


    “I only believe what I see, so it’s best for you to remember what I’ve said.”


    Before Roxanne could say anything else, Jessica turned and left.


    Exasperation washed over Roxanne, and she turned to return to her seat.


    “Sorry. Did I cause you any trouble?” Jack started apologetically when Roxanne sat down.


    “I hope you won’t use me as a shield if you encounter something like this next time. There are already


    some misunderstandings between Ms. Hightower and me.”


    “I think she and I have some misunderstandings too.”


    Otherwise, she would not have acted as if she was his girlfriend earlier.


    If not for their families, Jack would have confronted her about the matter a long


    time ago.


    “Still, don’t worry about this. I’ll rify things with her once I get back. I won’t let her trouble you


    anymore,” Jack added after a short moment of contemtion.


    Roxanne nodded. She was not too fazed by the matter.


    She did not know why, but she pitied Jack for meeting a woman like Jessica.


    However, the thought of Aubree soon crossed her mind.


    Here, she had Jack to rify things with Jessica, and it was not as if she was guilty in the first ce.


    On the other hand, Aubree still had her eyes on her; she was going to strike anytime, and Roxanne


    could only do so much to defend herself from Aubree.


    Roxanne realized that perhaps she was the more pitiful one.


    A bitter look crept upon Roxanne’s face without her knowledge.


    “What’s the matter? Is there something else?” Jack asked, puzzled.


    Roxanne snapped back to her senses and shrugged her emotions away before shing Jack a smile.


    “It’s nothing. I just find what happened today a little funny.”


    Jack apologized to her again.


    Without Jessica and her group of women, the atmosphere in the room was much more rxed.


    After having their meal in peace, everyone went back home.


    Roxanne and the other two had been forced to drink quite a bit by their seniors, so they could not drive


    themselves back.


    While Larry and Jack summoned their drivers, Roxanne nned to hail a cab home.


    The three of them went out of the hotel together.


    “Roxanne, let me send you home. I don’t think you can hail a cab at this time,” Larry suggested.


    Roxanne gave him a smile. “It’s fine. I can head home myself. It’ste, and it’s convenient for you to


    fetch me back. Your parents will be worried if you reach home


    Larry sighed. “I’m not a kid anymore, so why are they still worried about me? You, on the other hand,


    will have Archie and Benny worrying about you if you reach homete.”


    The look in Roxanne’s eyes turned tender when she thought about her children. At that moment, the


    warm lights by the hotel doorway shining on her gave her a gentler


    appearance.


    That was the sight Jack was greeted with when he turned to say something to them. He felt as if the


    sight of Roxanne had shot an arrow into his heart, and he could not help but gulp. In fact, he had even


    forgotten what he wanted to say to them.


    “I’ll just give them heads upter. It’ste, so it’s best for me not to trouble you, Larry,” Roxanne


    rejected with a chuckle.

    Larry’s gaze darkened. He knew that she would not be easily convinced, so he had no choice but to


    give up. “I’ll wait here with you for a while, then. It’ste, and I’m worried about leaving you here alone.”


    Roxanne assented with a smile.
