Chapter 798 Only When She Is Tired
Without saying anything, Lucian reached out to grab Roxanne’s hand and pulled her into his embrace. Jack knew his boundaries. Although he was holding on to her, he didn’t use a lot of force, so Lucian was able to snatch her from him with ease.
“What are you doing, Mr. Farwell? Dr. Jarvis gave me permission to send her home. How will I explain myself if she finds out I handed her over to you?” Jack asked with a frown. The elevator came to a halt on the first floor.
“Roxanne is my ex-wife. Given our relationship, I don’t think I need your permission to send her home. You will stay away from my ex-wife in the future if you know what’s good for you, Mr. Damaris,” Lucian said menacingly without looking back as he helped Roxanne out of the elevator.
Jack, who was still standing inside the elevator, had a nonchalant look on his face when he heard that. “Really? In that case, I suppose I’ll have to leave her in your care, Mr. Ex-husband!” he said in the most sarcastic way possible.
Lucian paused in his tracks and shot Jack a cold glare. “You are in no position to comment on our relationship.” He then continued helping Roxanne out of there while Jack watched with a conflicted frown.
Ever since Jack found out about their relationship, he had been wondering why the two of them got divorced back then. He also had no idea why Roxanne went overseas for six years after the divorce.
He used to think that it was because of Lucian, but the way Lucian treated Roxanne got him questioning his own judgment. A chilly breeze was blowing outside the hotel entrance.
Despite being out cold, Roxanne shuddered when she felt the wind on her body and instinctively nuzzled against his embrace. Lucian frowned slightly when he felt her do that. Keeping his anger suppressed, he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.
Roxanne let out a soft groan when she felt the comforting warmth. She then buried her face in his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Under normal circumstances, Roxanne would’ve been disgusted by even the slightest physical contact with Lucian. This time, however, she was sleeping soundly in his arms.
Lucian felt his heart race as it was extremely rare for her to behave like this. He quickly carried her over to his car and had a hotel staff open the door for him.
Lucian gently placed her in the passenger seat and helped her put the seatbelt on before driving to her house. The entire car reeked of alcohol, but Lucian kept the windows shut as he didn’t want her to catch a cold.
The car was really quiet since it was just the two of them inside, so Lucian could clearly hear her soft, steady breathing.
Roxanne occasionally mumbled in her sleep as a result of her intoxication.
Lucian felt his anger subside significantly when he saw that.
Roxanne has changed a lot ever since she returned to the country. The only time she’s so quiet around me is when she’s tired.
With a wry smile on his face, Lucian slowly increased the pressure on the gas pedal.
