Chapter 640

Sensing Jessica’s animosity, Jessica pursed her lips and muttered, “I think you’ve misunderstood something. I—”

“I only believe what I see, so it’s best for you to remember what I’ve said.”

Before Roxanne could say anything else, Jessica turned and left.

Exasperation washed over Roxanne, and she turned to return to her seat.

“Sorry. Did I cause you any trouble?” Jack started apologetically when Roxanne sat down.

“I hope you won’t use me as a shield if you encounter something like this next time. There are already some

misunderstandings between Ms. Hightower and me.”

“I think she and I have some misunderstandings too.”

Otherwise, she would not have acted as if she was his girlfriend earlier.

If not for their families, Jack would have confronted her about the matter a long

time ago.

“Still, don’t worry about this. I’ll clarify things with her once I get back. I won’t let her trouble you anymore,” Jack

added after a short moment of contemplation.

Roxanne nodded. She was not too fazed by the matter.

She did not know why, but she pitied Jack for meeting a woman like Jessica.

However, the thought of Aubree soon crossed her mind.

Here, she had Jack to clarify things with Jessica, and it was not as if she was guilty in the first place.

On the other hand, Aubree still had her eyes on her; she was going to strike anytime, and Roxanne could only do so

much to defend herself from Aubree.

Roxanne realized that perhaps she was the more pitiful one.

A bitter look crept upon Roxanne’s face without her knowledge.

“What’s the matter? Is there something else?” Jack asked, puzzled.

Roxanne snapped back to her senses and shrugged her emotions away before flashing Jack a smile. “It’s nothing. I

just find what happened today a little funny.”

Jack apologized to her again.

Without Jessica and her group of women, the atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed.

After having their meal in peace, everyone went back home.

Roxanne and the other two had been forced to drink quite a bit by their seniors, so they could not drive themselves

back.

While Larry and Jack summoned their drivers, Roxanne planned to hail a cab home.

The three of them went out of the hotel together.

“Roxanne, let me send you home. I don’t think you can hail a cab at this time,” Larry suggested.

Roxanne gave him a smile. “It’s fine. I can head home myself. It’s late, and it’s convenient for you to fetch me back.

Your parents will be worried if you reach home

late.”

Larry sighed. “I’m not a kid anymore, so why are they still worried about me? You, on the other hand, will have

Archie and Benny worrying about you if you reach home late.”

The look in Roxanne’s eyes turned tender when she thought about her children. At that moment, the warm lights by

the hotel doorway shining on her gave her a gentler

appearance.

That was the sight Jack was greeted with when he turned to say something to them. He felt as if the sight of

Roxanne had shot an arrow into his heart, and he could not help but gulp. In fact, he had even forgotten what he

wanted to say to them.

“I’ll just give them heads up later. It’s late, so it’s best for me not to trouble you, Larry,” Roxanne rejected with a

chuckle.

Larry’s gaze darkened. He knew that she would not be easily convinced, so he had no choice but to give up. “I’ll

wait here with you for a while, then. It’s late, and I’m worried about leaving you here alone.”

Roxanne assented with a smile.
