Chapter 1520
Roxanne noticed his expression darkening and assumed it was because he did not enjoy the lunch earlier, so helplessly, she continued to reassure him.
“It made me very happy that you guys put a lot of effort into helping me prepare lunch. Thank you for that.”
However, as soon as her words fell, Lucian put his arms around her waist and kissed her on the lips.
His actions promptly took Roxanne aback, and she instinctively glanced at the car just in time to see the heads of the three children poking out of the window.
“Mommy! We want a kiss too!”
The children's initial guilty expression changed after she noticed them, and they happily swung open the car door and got out.
Roxanne glanced at the calm-looking man in front of her before focusing on the children's expectant expressions. She crouched down and kissed each child individually, the shyness within her vanished because of them.
The children also obediently encircled her neck with their arms and kissed her on the cheek. “Don't forget to take good care of yourself, Mommy!”
Roxanne assented with a smile. After getting up and bidding farewell to Lucian, she turned and entered the research institute.
Although working overtime for two days did leave her feeling a little exhausted, seeing Lucian and the kids earlier had filled her with motivation once more.
Roxanne soon began to continue the morning's research.
However, shortly after she had been working, her phone vibrated.
She glanced at it and discovered that it was a call from Jack.
Roxanne put her experiment on hold to take the call, assuming he was calling for research-related matters.
Jack's voice rang out from the other end of the line. “My apologies, Ms. Jarvis. I've been caught up in other matters for the past two days. Are you very busy there?”
