She only snapped back to her senses after a while, upon which she guiltily turned back around and continued cooking.
Meanwhile, Lucian watched behind her with his arms crossed.
When she had finished cooking, he helped to carry the dishes out and lay the table.
Archie, Benny, and Estella, on the other hand, had long since seated themselves at the dining table in proper order.
Dinner was a warm and cozy event.
After dinner, Lucian ordered the children to play in the living room while he went to the study upstairs with Roxanne.
“What’s the good news?”
Sheer mystification deluged Roxanne. I wonder what exactly it is that he’s acting so mysterious.
Lucian’s expression turned solemn. “I think I’ve ferreted out the person who tampered with your experiment.”
At his remark, Roxanne’s expression likewise changed slightly, anxiety marring her features. “Who was it?”
Lucian stared at her, suddenly hesitant.
In the past, every time we discussed this subject, she had been reluctant to suspect Colby for no other reason than they had worked together for many years. I wonder if she’d be able to accept it if I were to tell her the truth.
For a fleeting second, he even contemplated giving up his initial plan and waiting until there was solid evidence before telling her about it.
“Was it truly Mr. Damaris?” Upon receiving no response from him after some time, Roxanne couldn’t help making a wild guess.
Hearing that, Lucian put his thoughts away, his gaze darkening a shade. “You’re that worried about him?”
During this time, we’ve hardly mentioned him. But no sooner had I said there was progress in the investigation than he popped into her mind. That aside, she sounds wholly incredulous.
