Mission To Remarry

“I’m sorry. I’ve been so busy investigating the incident that day that I forgot to contact you.”

Biting the bullet, she apologized to the man.

Fortunately, Jack didn’t continue pursuing the matter. He merely looked her up and down with a smile, seemingly to ascertain that she had recovered.

“I’ve recovered fully now. Sorry for worrying you these past few days, Mr. Damaris,” Roxanne murmured.
