“Let's talk inside the hotel. It's getting chilly outside,” Madilyn suggested tactfully, mindful that the two were too shy to say anything in her presence.
Roxanne nodded before circling around Lucian to walk ahead.
Just as she brushed past his shoulder, Lucian reached out his hand but retracted it at the last minute with a frown.
Given that he was the cause of her current predicament, he didn't want to burden her any further as she already had a lot on her plate emotionally.
Meanwhile, there was no need for them to make reservations because the hotel they were in belonged to Farwell Group.
Lucian had ordered the penthouse to be cleared so that they could live there for the time being.
Upon arriving at the suite, Madilyn led the children to another room, cognizant that the two adults needed some privacy to talk.
No sooner had Roxanne entered the room than she heard the door close behind her.
Turning around, she realized that she was alone with Lucian. Madilyn and the children were nowhere to be found.
Thereafter, the frowning Lucian approached her with weighty footsteps.
“Where's Madilyn and the rest?” Roxanne asked cluelessly.
Instead of replying, Lucian walked up to her and grabbed her hand in a domineering manner, preventing her from leaving.
“Are you guys all right?” Lucian repeated his question from the rooftop.
A warm smile gradually broke out across Roxanne's face when she sensed his concern for her.
“We're fine. The kids were frightened initially but calmed down after they learned that the reporters couldn't enter.”
