Reconciliation and Dinner Preparations

The children were no longer in the mood to continue playing. Roxanne had left anyway, so there was no need for them to carry on with the game.

At the side, Lucian watched as they dragged their feet over to the carpet and plopped down listlessly. Twitching his lips in amusement, he lifted his eyes and glanced upstairs. Then, he headed up the stairs.

After all, he had to talk to Roxanne about the misunderstanding earlier and clarify things.

The children initially thought their battle plan this time was a total flop, but they spotted Lucian voluntarily going upstairs when they looked over their shoulders.

Without a shadow of a doubt, he was going to look for Roxanne.

When they saw that, a spark of hope flared within them.

Upstairs, Roxanne shut herself in the bedroom, feeling exceedingly conflicted.

She didn’t know what was wrong with her earlier.

Just a while ago, I was irritated by Lucian’s domineering attitude. Yet, I was still bewitched by the tenderness in his eyes during the game.
