Mission To Remarry

Chapter 654

Chapter 654 Take My Words Seriously Roxanne soon recognized the inappropriateness of her words after she was

done talking. She was under the assumption that Lucian would retort what she said coldly but didn’t hear his voice

even after some time. Amidst the silence, the atmosphere inside the car grew more unfavorable. Just as Roxanne

was about to speak further, Lucian’s slightly resigned voice sounded. “If that’s the case, please treat me the same

way you treat your other suitors, and don’t be prejudiced against anyone.” He contemplated for a long while and

had no choice but to concede. When Roxanne heard that, her heart instantly clenched. She even doubted if her

ears were playing tricks on her. How could someone as proud and arrogant as Lucian say something like that? “If

Mr. Morrison is the other suitor you’re talking about, Ms. Jarvis, please treat me the same way you treat him.

After all, we’ve known one another for almost as long as you are acquainted with Mr. Morrison.” Lucian pinched

between his brows with inexplicable emotions churning within him and said, “I made mistakes in the past, but I hope

you’ll give me an opportunity to make amends, Ms. Jarvis. At the very least, please have faith in what I’ve said.”

Lucian felt helpless, realizing Roxanne had taken all his previous efforts lightly. This time, she was finally convinced

that she wasn’t hallucinating. I can’t believe Lucian is yielding to me. Not to mention, he’s talking to me in such a

submissive tone. Ever since their reunion, Lucian had always behaved assertively. He would do as he pleased and

never gave Roxanne a chance to express her will, constantly forcing her to comply with his wishes. As a result, she

refused to accept him all the while. At that moment, Roxanne could not help but lower her guard as she took in

Lucian’s accommodating manner. She fell silent and was at a loss for words.

After all, she had no choice but to take him seriously after listening to his speech, but Aubree’s existence was

undoubtedly a massive obstacle in their relationship, rendering his words unconvincing. Her indifferent demeanor

clearly wavered despite her silence. Lucian bored his eyes into Roxanne. Not expecting her to provide him with an

answer, he asked further, “So, what do you think I should do for you to give me a chance for a fair competition?”

She merely felt her head ache upon listening to his volleys of questions. “Lucian, stop pressuring me, and let me

think this through.” Roxanne needed time to figure out the paradigm of their current relationship and Lucian’s state

of mind when telling her all those things. Lucian knitted his brows after hearing that. Seemingly to prove what he

just said true, he fell silent afterward. Conflict swirled within Roxanne’s heart.

The two of them did not speak again until the car gradually came to a halt at Roxanne’s doorstep. “I shall take my

leave now.” Roxanne hastily got out of the vehicle right after the car stopped moving as if she was a criminal on the

run. Just as she was about to close the door, a large hand impeded her. Roxanne’s heart jumped into her throat.

She froze, not knowing what Lucian was going to do. His expression was not visible in the shadows as he said

earnestly, “I will do as you say, so I hope you can take my words seriously too.”

Roxanne tightened her grip on the car door after she heard him. She fell silent for a few seconds but ultimately

nodded in response. Lucian withdrew his extended arm after she agreed to his request. His voice sounded less grim

as he uttered, “Rest early.” Roxanne bobbled her head slightly, closed the car door, and turned around to enter the

mansion.
