Mission To Remarry

Chapter 896 A Hint Of Wariness

Slowly getting to his feet, Lucian pinned a dark look on Roxanne, who stood at the door.

“I really don’t know when you learned to use your kids to set me up, Ms. Jarvis.”

Roxanne’s eyes flickered, her gaze mystified.

When had I ever done such a thing?

Glimpsing the innocent expression on her face, Lucian frowned and started to head in her direction slowly.

The instant Roxanne noticed his intentions, her heartstrings drew taut, and she backed away warily. Throughout it all, she kept a distance from him.

“Why are you drawing away if you’re not feeling guilty, Ms. Jarvis?” Lucian sneered.

Upon hearing that, Roxanne hesitantly stopped retreating, her brows furrowing imperceptibly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

His gaze gloomy, Lucian demanded lowly, “Don’t tell me it wasn’t because you were sure I wouldn’t ignore the kids’ calls that you had Archie phone me, Ms. Jarvis?”
