Leaving The Country After Divorce (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 1645

Chapter 1645 What On Earth Is This About

After scrutinizing Lucian for a while to ensure he wasn't faking gratitude, Colby felt a stir of emotions.

“What's your relationship with Dr. Jarvis now?” he blurted out.

Upon hearing that, Lucian suddenly recalled how Colby had mocked him when he first showed up.

Gosh. I was so worried about Roxanne that I completely forgot his words. I doubt I would've remembered them if he hadn't asked that question.

“She and I are together, just like you've guessed,” Lucian answered truthfully, his brows furrowed ever so slightly. “I've already proposed to her, and we'll hold the wedding once she's woken up!”

Technically, Roxanne hasn't agreed to my proposal, and it's also highly probable that she might turn me down... Nevertheless, I'll do everything I can to make her say yes! I don't want to experience the torment of losing her again!

A glimmer of surprise instantly flashed across Colby's eyes.

However, when he thought back to Lucian's earlier attitude, a mix of relief and bitterness washed over him. “Of course. Of the three of us, you've always had the best chance of winning her heart.”

After all, neither Jack nor I could love Roxanne without any agenda. Lucian's different from us, though. He already has ample power and wealth, so his love for Roxanne is undeniably pure and free of ulterior motives.

Feeling somewhat perplexed by Colby's sudden change in demeanor, Lucian stood rooted to the spot and stared silently.

Seconds later, Colby lowered his gaze in defeat. “I can feel that Dr. Jarvis has always cared a lot about you, except she's never wanted to admit her feelings. I, on the other hand, had also chosen to lie to myself. In all honesty, you're the only one she's ever loved. Whether it's six years ago or now, her love for you has never changed.”

Lucian shook his head while images of Archie's and Benny's faces continuously popped into his mind.

Are those two boys really Roxanne's and mine? Why hasn't she ever said a word about it? Then again, if they aren't my kids, why do I always feel so close and comfortable around them? I used to think it was only because the boys were highly likable, but looking back at it, I don't remember ever losing my temper when they and Roxanne shunned me. It's almost as if I treat them the way I treat Essie. They're all equally important to me...

The more Lucian tried to piece everything together, the more suspicions he had about Archie and Benny.

More importantly, they claimed that their father has never appeared, and Roxanne forbids them from bringing the topic up too...

With that, Lucian recomposed himself and shot a stern look at Colby. “Tell me. What on earth is this about?”
