NovelStartChapter 621 After a while, Lucian asked in a deep voice, “I'm not married, and neither are you. How am | putting you in a tough spot, Ms.
Jarvis?” Roxanne could barely keep her emotion in check when she heard that. She furrowed her brows and said, “If | remember correctly, it was you, Mr. Farwell, who reminded me often to keep the kids in mind.” Lucian seemed unfazed. “I was just reminding you to stay away from those weird men.” Roxanne could not wrap her head around the man’s behavior. “Who do you think you are to me, Mr. Farwell? What makes you think you can interfere with my private life?” Lucian scrunched up his face.

She thought her ears were playing tricks on him. “What did you say?” Lucian knitted his brows. Since he had already revealed so much, he didn‘t mind telling her more. “You heard me right, Ms.
Jarvis. | like you, and | want to pursue you.” Roxanne was still confused when she heard him repeating himself. After keeping silent for almost a minute, she shook her head in amusement.
She had heard him clearly, but she found Lucian‘s words ironic.
“Mr. Farwell, don’t you remember what happened six years ago? Don't you think it's a bit too late for that?” Lucian, with a darkened gaze, recalled what had happened when they were at the resort. His heart sank when he remembered how Roxanne looked when she was drunk. “l remember, and | regret it, okay?” Roxanne stared at him for a few seconds. She was getting moved by how serious he looked. However, she quickly recomposed herself and asked in a cold tone, “What about Ms. Pearson? Is the marriage contract of six years between both of you just a lie, Mr. Farwell?” Regardless of six years ago or the present, Aubree was still a barrier between the both of them.
Lucian’s expression turned solemn when he was reminded of Aubree. “I don't care if you believe me or not, but | never wanted to marry her. There are still some private matters | need to settle with her. Just give me some time and | promise I'll give you an explanation you'll be satisfied with.” Roxanne’s mind went blank when she heard that. Sir years ago, Lucian was so keen on being with her. Now, she sounds like a problem to him.
Roxanne didn't know if he was telling the truth, but either way, she felt like a joke when she recalled what she had gone through six years ago.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, events from six years ago flashed across her mind like a slideshow.
She found the situation more and more ironic.
After a long while, she asked calmly, “Are you doing this because Essie doesn't like Ms. Pearson?” Lucian frowned and looked at her confusion “I know you love Essie deeply, Mr. Farwell. But | didn't expect you to make such an enormous sacrifice just so that Essie could have a mother she likes. I'm surprised you would offer someone the status of being your wife.” Roxanne raised her head and looked at him calmly. “You don't have to beat around the bush and say anything that violates your will, Mr. Farwell. You've already made yourself clear last time on the phone. You only choose me because Essie likes me.” Although it sounded as though she was trying to tell Lucian oil, Roxanne was actually trying to convince herself to stay away from him.
Lucian‘s gaze turned even more solemn as he stared at her.
