Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1670

Lucian's gaze dimmed when he listened to how Roxanne and Peregrine met.

She would be thrilled if she woke up and learned that Old Mr. Lomax had treated her. But given the current situation, keeping her safe is...

“If there is no other way, I can only give Jack what he wants,” he said expressionlessly.

Colby was taken aback. “Jack gave you his conditions? What are they?”

There must be a catch for Lucian to be thinking twice.

Lucian's grim gaze met his. “You only need to know one of them. He wants me to marry another woman before Roxanne regains consciousness.”

“Is he crazy? How could he make you do that?”

Lucian gave a self-deprecating laugh. “It was my negligence that resulted in Roxanne's predicament. I should pay the price.”

It is a heavy price to pay.

Colby looked at the man before him, still in shock, as his expression shifted.

He would sacrifice his marriage for Roxanne's safety.

He recalled the time he had first heard Roxanne's story six years ago. He had been disgusted with Lucian and thought him unworthy of her.

Even after his arrest, Colby had insisted he did nothing wrong.

However, at that moment, he seemed to have become another person.

Colby's eyes flashed, and he averted his gaze stiffly. “Before today, I have always thought you were unworthy of Dr. Jarvis. Nobody was good enough for her.”

Even I myself am far from worthy.

He then turned quickly to glance at Lucian. “I have seen how much you are willing to sacrifice for her. Dr. Jarvis likes you, and you treat her well. That's good enough. She's better off with you than with somebody with impure motives.”
