Chapter 611

Lysa came back after returning the flowers. She hesitated about saying something to Roxanne, who was studying

some information on her laptop on the couch.

Roxanne turned around when she heard some noises near the doorway. Seeing Lysa, she asked, “Have you

returned the flowers?”

The housekeeper nodded slightly and replied, “I‘ve asked someone from the florist‘s to send it back.”

Satisfied, Roxanne wordlessly returned her attention to her work.

Though Colby had been in charge of all matters pertaining to the research institute, he still needed Roxanne to

discuss a potential collaboration with the Damaris family.

Roxanne treated the matter seriously as well. In fact, during her recovery at home, she had spent most of her

attention on the research institute project.

Thankfully, Jack knew about her injury and did not hasten her progress. Instead, he allowed her to work at a

comfortable pace.

His consideration filled Roxanne with some measure of guilt. She was determined to develop an in–depth

understanding of the project so she could pick things up more quickly once she returned to work.

As she studied the project information in rapt attention, Lysa‘s voice suddenly rang out. “Ms. Jarvis, don‘t you think

you‘re being a little... cold–hearted?”

Sending back flowers was undoubtedly a show of humiliation toward any gift–giver, let alone someone as revered

as Lucian.

Additionally, Lucian‘s final reminder that morning moved Lysa, who was becoming more convinced that Lucian‘s

feelings toward Roxanne were sincere.

Her housekeeper‘s question brought a frown to Roxanne‘s face. Tearing her gaze

from the laptop screen, she responded coolly, “Nothing will ever happen between us, so returning his flowers is the

only natural thing to do.”

Upon noticing Lysa‘s intent to refute her, Roxanne mustered a smile and added, “Don‘t worry yourself over this. I‘ll

never accept anything from him, and that‘s final.”

After that, Roxanne turned to face her laptop screen, her fingers flying across the keyboard in a flurry. It was an

undeniable sign that she no longer wished to discuss the topic of Lucian‘s affection.

Watching Roxanne bury her attention in work, Lysa swallowed the advice on the tip

of her tongue. She turned and entered the kitchen in resignation, sighing to herself.

After Lysa‘s departure, Roxanne‘s typing speed slowed.

She found she could no longer focus wholeheartedly on her work after the housekeeper‘s words.

Ever since she saw Lucian upon returning to the country for the first time, Roxanne had sensed that his attitude

toward her was completely different from six years ago.

As for why his attitude had taken such a huge turn, Roxanne dared not allow herself to imagine why.

Alas, Lucian‘s actions over the past two days forced her to examine his motives in deeper detail.

After all, despite Lucian‘s bold proclamations about how much he loved Aubree six years ago, Roxanne had never

seen him give Aubree even a single flower.

Sending flowers had always been inconsistent with Lucian‘s character, yet he had gone out of character and given

her flowers instead of Aubree.

Moreover, after returning his flowers the day before, Roxanne was surprised to receive another bouquet the next

day.

Perhaps what surprised her more was her reaction when she saw the second bouquet of flowers.

There were no cards or further evidence in the bouquet pointing to Lucian as the sender, yet one look was all it

took for Roxanne to think of him.

Acting on instinct, she had Lysa send the flowers back to Lucian.

Roxanne hoped Lucian would finally understand her wishes and stay away.

At that moment, she only wished to launch a successful collaboration with the Damaris family and achieve some

strides in the field of traditional medicine.

In her eyes, Lucian‘s actions were merely a recipe for trouble.
