Chapter 651

Her Good Qualities Jack’s gaze gradually darkened as he stared at their leaving figures from behind. Their current

relationship is genuinely baffling me. I can see that Lucian inclines to win Roxanne back, but I cannot figure out her

stance. Complicated emotions surged within Jack when he was reminded of Roxanne’s appearance as she stood

under the lights earlier. She’s clueless about my feelings.

Along the way, Lucian wrapped his hand around Roxanne’s wrist tightly. He exerted a great force on her wrist and

caused her to be in pain. “Let go of me!” She tried to break free of his grip, but her futile attempt merely prompted

him to grab her more closely and firmly. Lucian decided never to let go of her hand anymore because when he had

done so earlier, Roxanne almost approached another man. She had no choice but to give up after a few times of

struggling in vain and having her complaints disregarded by Lucian the whole time. As a result, she allowed him to

drag her along to the roadside. The driver had already driven the car over. The driver got out of the vehicle when

he saw them walking toward the car.

Then, he politely opened the door to the backseat and waited for Lucian and Roxanne to get into the car. Roxanne

hesitated, looking at the opened car door. Although the vehicle’s backseat was very spacious, she still thought she

would be too close to Lucian if they sat together in the backseat. However, before she could come up with an

excuse to refuse, Lucian had already placed his hands on her shoulder authoritatively and ushered her into the car.

By the time she registered what had happened, she heard the sound of the car door closing. The driver swiftly

returned to the driver’s seat. Lucian told the driver Roxanne’s address.

Then, the car began to move and was soon heading in her house’s direction in no time. Throughout the ride, dead

silence filled the air inside the car. Roxanne thought he would say something, but unexpectedly, he remained quiet

even after a long while. She let out a sigh of relief inwardly. I can live with this. Since he’s quiet, I don’t have to

worry about him spouting nonsensical words. A wave of drowsiness washed over her right after she put down her

guard. The temperature inside the vehicle was optimal, and the car’s interior was noiseless. In addition to being

under the influence of the alcohol she had drunk earlier, Roxanne could not help but begin dozing off under such a

conducive ambiance. She dug her fingers into her palms to force herself to stay awake, but that method was

ineffective. Soon, she fell asleep without realizing it. Even though the driver had tried his best to keep the ride

steady, there were still some unavoidable bumps on the road.

Amidst her grogginess, Roxanne knocked her head against the car window and reflexively tilted her body sideways,

causing her head to drop to Lucian’s side. Sitting next to her, Lucian noticed her movements for some time, but he

simply stayed silent. Lucian’s anger, provoked by Roxanne’s multiple refusals to his offer and her decision to walk

up to the other two guys, had yet to dissipate. Therefore, he was afraid of uttering any words he might regret if he

spoke at that moment. He frowned slightly when he saw Roxanne shifting her body weight to the other side due to

her uncomfortable sleeping posture. Judging by how her face flushed after she dozed off, she probably consumed

alcohol.

The sight of her appearance jogged his mind, causing the scene at the hotel the other night to resurface in his mind

for a moment. That night, she was caught up in a similar drunken, drowsy state, questioning him in a mumble about

why he had failed to notice her good qualities. Lucian felt a little heavy-hearted as he recalled the incident that

night. Ultimately, he could not stop himself from reaching out and pulling her into his arms so that she could rest

more comfortably. He didn’t know if his accidentally exaggerated motion had startled her because, to his surprise,



Roxanne, who had been sleeping soundly moments ago, suddenly woke up in a daze. Sensing her movements in his

embrace, Lucian knitted his brows slightly and instinctively stopped moving.
