Chapter 656 Keep A Distance From Her
After taking several seconds to recollect herself, Roxanne finally replied: I had already promised her I would go to the concert. What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Farwell?
Lucian’s reply came almost instantly. It read: I just figured you’d be busy handling the collaboration with the Damaris family for these couple of days. I won’t force you to attend the concert if you don’t have the time.
A conjecture formed in her mind when she read the last sentence.
It must be because of what I said in the car about not forcing himself that made him bring this up suddenly. From his point of view, I was forced to agree to attend the concert because Essie kept inviting me over and over again. Is he trying to make up for past mistakes, then?
The thought of Lucian making changes because of what she said earlier gave her a strange feeling. In fact, she almost believed what he said about wanting to pursue her.
Realizing what she was thinking, Roxanne immediately snapped out of her daze and recollected her thoughts. She then lowered her gaze and typed a reply.
Meanwhile, Lucian’s gaze darkened when he did not receive a reply from her.
After the conversation in the car that night, Lucian went back and talked to Jonathan about it, which helped him understand how to pursue her.
Thanks to Roxanne’s words, he had thought long and hard about the things he had done in the past.
All he could do to salvage the situation was give her the option to refuse to attend the convert.
That morning, Roxanne did not seem too willing to attend it when Estella invited her.
It was only because Estella started tearing up that Roxanne had no choice but to agree.
Moreover, Lucian did not give her the chance to refuse.
Now that she had requested for some time to think, he did not want to force her into attending the concert.
I’ve already made a compromise. Why is she still not replying?
Just as he was wondering if he should ask her about it, his phone vibrated.
Lucian frowned slightly, and he lowered his gaze to glance at his phone.
It was a reply from Roxanne.
Roxanne: I’m nowhere as busy as you, Mr. Farwell. Besides, I’ve already promised Estella I’d attend the concert with her. I never break the promises I made to a child. I’ll definitely be there on time.
Lucian frowned after reading the next, but a faint smile soon formed on his lips. He replied: See you this weekend.
He had already made a compromise, yet Roxanne still insisted on attending the concert.
It was a pleasant surprise for him, regardless of whether Estella was the reason for Roxanne’s decision.
Meanwhile, after hitting the reply button, Roxanne tossed the phone aside. She did not even bother to read Lucian’s reply.
The reason she chose to attend the concert was really because of the promise she made to Estella.
Nonetheless, she knew a reply like that might make Lucian get the wrong idea.
After all, she had just told him not to force her and give her some time to think.
Yet, she did not seize the opportunity when Lucian made a concession.
Anyone who witnessed all that would think Roxanne was playing hard to get.
In fact, even Roxanne found it ironic.
Regardless, she had already promised Estella she would attend the concert.
Roxanne could not bear to see Estella teary-eyed again.
It’s really wonderful that he can make a compromise. I hope he can keep up the behavior and keep his distance from me during the concert.
Roxanne’s mind was in a mess the entire night when she thought about all the possible scenarios that could happen at the concert. She even wondered if she had made the wrong decision. Unfortunately, it was already too late to regret her choices.
