Chapter 676 Your Relationship With Him
Her words made Lucian frown as he grimly gazed at her to study her. If he did not mishear what she said, that meant that Roxanne was starting to waver in her stance.
Roxanne blinked when her eyes met Lucian’s. Then, she averted her gaze with false calmness. A moment later, Lucian’s deep voice sounded out beside her ear. “I’ve never liked her romantically, and I’ll never marry her. That’s why there’s nothing for me to explain to you.”
At that, shock flashed past Roxanne’s eyes. If this were to happen six years ago, she would never expect to hear this from Lucian. He never liked Aubree romantically? How can that be?
She could still remember how Lucian had announced that he would only marry Aubree and no one else six years ago. In fact, he did not even mind resorting to emotional abuse to make her leave. If he’s saying this now, then what about what happened six years ago?
Lucian’s eyes were on her, so he saw all of the emotions that appeared on her face. When he noticed her shock, he frowned. Knowing what she was thinking about, he apologized in a low voice, “What happened six years ago was my fault. You can blame me for it, and I won’t have a word of complaint.”
That only rendered Roxanne even more stunned and speechless. She never thought she would hear Lucian apologizing for what happened six years ago.
“You…” A beat later, Roxanne found her voice again. “You don’t need to do this. I told you that we can think of each other as strangers, and we won’t owe each other anything.”
“But I don’t plan for us to be just strangers,” Lucian interrupted, his forehead creasing.
Roxanne, too, was frowning as she kept her gaze lowered in silence.
Nevertheless, Lucian continued to speak as he stared at her face. “I’m honest with you because, like you, I have a question to ask. I hope you’ll be as frank as I was.”
Hearing him, Roxanne lifted her head to give him a bemused look.
In the next second, the man’s voice rang in her ear.
“What relationship do you have with Larry?”
Larry Morrison had always been a thorn in his side.
Every time he saw Larry, he was reminded of the times Larry and Roxanne met in private.
Furthermore, the few times he saw them together, they seemed close.
Larry even knew about Lucian’s relationship with Roxanne.
How close are they for Roxanne to tell him about our relationship?
Roxanne was stunned for a moment before her brows started to creep toward each other as a solemn look showed in her eyes.
“I’ve already told you many times that Larry and I are just friends. He lent me a helping hand many times during the most difficult time in my life. Mr. Farwell, please don’t ask questions like these anymore. Your questions are only troubling Larry and me!”
Lucian had already asked Roxanne many times about her relationship with Larry, and by then, Roxanne was already getting frustrated by his fervent questions.
She thought that Lucian would leave it at that after her explanation. Yet, without any hesitation, he went on, “What about Jack? What relationship do you have with him?”
Roxanne was dumbstruck, for she did not know why Lucian was asking her that.
I haven’t known Jack for long. What makes him think that there’s something between us?
With that thought in mind, Roxanne gave him a puzzled look. At the same time, she noticed that he looked serious about it.
He was genuinely worried about her being romantically involved with Jack.
