Lucian did not even try to deny Jack's words, and he looked as hostile as ever.
It seemed that Roxanne felt uncomfortable because of his tight hold, so she whined and struggled a bit.
Sensing her movements, Lucian loosened his grip and patted her on the shoulder to calm her down.
When Jack saw the intimate interaction between the couple, his displeasure grew.
“Ms. Jarvis and I just drank a little wine with the patients' families. We cured the elders, so their family members enthusiastically insisted on thanking us. I was planning to drive Ms. Jarvis home since she's drunk.”
It sounded like Jack was simply explaining, but anyone smart enough could decipher the meaning hidden behind his words.
Jack was basically declaring that Roxanne and he were from the same world. They cured the elders together and accepted the families' gratitude together, and all these had nothing to do with Lucian.
Naturally, Lucian knew what Jack was trying to imply. The former's face turned stern as he said, “Thanks for your reminder, Mr. Damaris. I'll tell Roxanne to drink less next time in gatherings like this.”
Just like that, he retorted Jack's provocation.
Afterward, Lucian added, “It's getting late. I'll take Roxanne back to the hotel so she can rest. There are a lot of things in my car, and I don't want to let you feel uncomfortable in a cramped space. Please just wait for your driver to pick you up, Mr. Damaris.”
