Lucian turned and stared at Roxanne, who was all covered up in his shirt, and held her hand. “I won’t be cold if we stick together.”
The two of them looked really intimate as they walked side by side while holding hands.
After making a lot of turns, Lucian and Roxanne arrived at a small alley.
Noticing that the alley was completely dark, Roxanne flashed him a confused look and asked, “Is this the place you mentioned?”
Lucian nodded. “It’s probably closed. Let’s eat somewhere else. What would you like to eat?”
As Roxanne was very hungry, a huge variety of options popped up in her head when she heard that.
After taking some time to filter through her options, she said, “Let’s have crawfish. I haven’t had them in a long time. I’m kind of craving them right now.”
Oh, wait… Most high-end restaurants are already closed at this hour, so we’ll only be able to find crawfish at the food stalls on the street. I’m not sure if Lucian will find such environments to his liking…
Noticing the conflicted look on her face, Lucian held her hand and led her toward the food stalls that lined the streets.
Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief and quietly followed behind him.
Concerned that Lucian would dislike crowded environments, she was planning on bringing him to a stall with fewer customers.
However, Roxanne couldn’t help but go to the liveliest one when she got there.
Since she hadn’t been there before, she figured the one with the most customers probably had the best food.
It wasn’t until they had taken their seats that Roxanne realized Lucian would probably dislike the stall she chose.
Sure enough, Lucian had a somewhat gloomy look on his face.
As she turned to look at Lucian, she saw that his plate was empty.
The next thing she knew, Lucian had topped up her plate with yet another crawfish that he had just deshelled.
Lucian paused when he noticed Roxanne staring at him in confusion. “What’s wrong? Does it not taste good?”
Roxanne shook her head. She was about to say something when someone bumped into the back of her head, causing her to let out a surprised squeal.
“What the… Hey! Didn’t you see us coming through?”
The sound of slurred speech was soon followed by the intense smell of alcohol.
Roxanne frowned as she realized they had encountered some problematic drunkards.

GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
