Chapter 711 Have Dinner Together
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.
Recalling her emotions earlier, she couldn’t help feeling scornful of herself.
Perhaps it was because I’d never seen such an expression on him in the many
years I’d loved him, so my past feelings for him made an appearance in those
few minutes just now…
While she was spacing out, footsteps suddenly rang out outside the door. They
clearly didn’t belong to the children, so it could only be Lucian. Upon perceiving
that, Roxanne felt all the more conflicted. Why did he come upstairs?
Before she could brace herself mentally, a knock sounded on her bedroom door.
On the heels of that, Lucian’s baritone voice penetrated the door. He sounded a
touch muffled through the door. “Are you in there? Let’s talk.”
Despite having guessed that the man came upstairs to seek her out, Roxanne
was still stunned for a few seconds when she heard him say so in person. She
blankly.
“Right now, perhaps I feel the same as you did six years ago,” Lucian admitted
with a soundless sigh. Undeniably, it was easier to articulate some things with a
door between them, since they didn’t need to face each other directly.
At the mention of her past self six years ago, Roxanne’s gaze flickered.
“If you need time to calm down, I don’t mind going home first and leaving Essie
here. Please also send her to kindergarten tomorrow. I’ll come and pick her up
at night.”
Once again, Lucian’s voice rang out at the door. Frowning slightly, Roxanne got
up and walked over to the door. By the time she opened the door, the man had
already reached the landing.
“Stay and have dinner together, Mr. Farwell,” she couldn’t help offering as she
gazed at him. When her voice fell, even she herself was stunned for a moment.
