Chapter 653
Chapter 653 Misunderstand Pin-drop silence ensued in the car once again. Suddenly, Roxanne’s
phone lit up. It was a message from Larry, asking her if she had arrived home. Even though Larry was
not physically in front of her at that moment, a courteous smile still spread across her face when she
saw him showing concern for her. She replied: I’m still on the way back. A secondter, he responded
back: Let me know when you’re home. Roxanne agreed while beaming. Lucian noticed the illuminated
screen of her phone and turned to nce in her direction. Then, he caught sight of the faint smile on
her face.
Following her line of vision, he saw Larry’s name on the top of her screen. Evidently, she was texting
Larry. Lucian’s mood, which had just slightly improved, plummeted again following the observation. In
what way am Icking? Roxanne grins so happily even when replying to Larry’s message, yet
whenever she’s around me, she always behaves warily. At that thought, the temperature around Lucian
dropped gradually. By the time Roxanne was done responding to her messages and kept her phone,
she sensitively detected the tense atmosphere inside the car. Just as she recalled what she could have
possibly done to offend Lucian, his voice rang out beside her. “It seems you’re still maintaining a close
rtionship with Mr. Morrison, Ms. Jarvis.” Roxanne was stunned after hearing that.
She swiftly realized Lucian must have seen her texting Larry. Her expression abruptly turned gloomy.
“Mr. Farwell, isn’t it inappropriate for you to peek while I’m using my phone?” After listening to that
remark, Lucian frowned and uttered displeasingly, “The inside of the car is so dark. It’ll be difficult for
me not to see what you’re doing. Roxanne was slightly taken aback. It gradually dawned on her that
her lit phone screen was indeed eye-catching inside the dim car. Nevertheless, she did not think that
was a reason for Lucian to pry into her privacy. Despite feeling indignant, Roxanne did not want to
argue with him regarding that matter, so she merely said, “Larry is just concerned about my
whereabouts. Please don’t misunderstand us, Mr. Farwell.” Lucian’s previous assumption about her
rtionship with Larry had caused her to have lingering fears and concerns. Sensing her cautious tone,
Lucian furrowed his brows. Ultimately, he didn’t press that matter further. However, discontentment
surged within him when he was reminded of her cheerful smile from before.
A few momentster, he said in a deep voice while suppressing his rage, “Ms. Jarvis, please don’t
forget that I’m still pursuing you.” Roxanne did not anticipate their topic of conversation would take such
an unexpected turn. She was dumbfounded for a few seconds before forcing herself to stay calm and
responding, “That’s your problem. I’ve never taken that matter seriously from the beginning. Even if
you’re really pursuing me, that would be your issue. I have no obligations to cooperate with you
whatsoever.” She could vividly feel the growing tension in the air after she was done talking. Roxanne
dug her fingers into her palms when she sensed Lucian’s temper rising and forced herself to meet his
gaze.

“In that case, you should take it seriously from now on.” An unfathomable look gleamed in his eyes. “I
don’t need you to cooperate with me, but you’ll have to keep a distance from other men for the time
being.” His ridiculous request amused her. “As you’ve mentioned, you’re my suitor, so what right do you
have to restrict me from associating with other men? I don’t think there’s any problem even if I wish to
ept the courtships from a few men at the same time.” Lucian furrowed his brows. When he heard
Roxanne announcing her hypothetical wish to ept the courtships from a few men, his temper
instinctively red but he managed to contain his anger at thest minute.
