Chapter 806 Opposing Emotions

After watching the children enter the kindergarten, Roxanne turned to Lucian with mixed emotions and started,

“The boys told me that it was you who sent me home last night.”

Lucian nodded noncommittally. He averted his gaze from her and looked to the side as if nothing had happened. In

truth, he couldn’t help recalling the scene from the night before at the sight of her face.

Roxanne trailed his gaze, only to see his car that was parked by the roadside. Thinking that he was in a hurry to

leave, she decided to get straight to the point. “Can you tell me how we ran into each other last night?”

Lucian’s face turned cold when Roxanne mentioned their encounter. “We happened to run into each other in the

hotel elevator.”

Even though he didn’t describe how he had wrestled her away from Jack’s arms, Roxanne had no trouble imagining

it.

Given his temper, he must’ve been infuriated to see me together with Jack. It goes without saying that something

unpleasant must have happened between them.

Nonetheless, what surprised her this time was that Lucian didn’t probe further about her relationship with Jack.

When the thought struck her, a peculiar feeling arose from within, causing her to recall their conversation the day

before.

Lucian must be trying to stop me from going to the contract signing ceremony because he and Jack are

competitors. And that must be the reason he showed up at the hotel. It was just that he had arrived too late. Is the

conclusion of the matter the reason he no longer cares about my relationship with Jack?

Holding that thought, Roxanne felt slighted for some reason. Nevertheless, she kept her emotions to herself and

expressed her gratitude flatly instead. “Thank you for sending me home, Mr. Farwell.”

Lucian nodded with a frown.

Just thinking about the image of her and Jack together angered him. However, when he saw her face, he couldn’t

help but be reminded of the scene from the night before.

Overwhelmed by the clash of opposing emotions, Lucian couldn’t bring himself to question her any further.

All of a sudden, an inexplicable tension emerged between the two of them.

Upon collecting her thoughts, Roxanne gave him a distant smile. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way, then.”

With that, she walked past Lucian without giving him a chance to react.

Lucian’s eyes darkened, but he didn’t stop her. It wasn’t until her footsteps could barely be heard that he finally

returned to his car.

On the way to the research institute, Roxanne felt unsettled as her mind kept dwelling upon her conversation with

Lucian and his attitude toward her.

In the past, he would have stopped me and said something if I were to leave just like that. But this time, he didn’t.

As for his attitude toward me and Jack, he doesn’t look like he cares anymore. In fact, he didn’t even bother

questioning me any further. Also, while I spoke to him, he seemed to be in a hurry to leave as if he was trying to

avoid me.

Roxanne felt the irony when she recalled Lucian’s declaration that he wanted to pursue her.

After all, she had been stuck in a dilemma for a long time and had even considered if she should accept him.

However, she now realized that she had been a fool to have taken him seriously.

In fact, she couldn’t help but laugh at herself for wondering whether Lucian had stayed back to take care of her the

night before.

From the looks of his attitude earlier, how is it possible that he bothered to show me any concern?
