His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 715

Chapter 715 Acted On Reflex

Terrified by Lucian’s sudden movement to the point that she didn’t dare move,

Roxanne reacted like a petrified cat when the man drew close to her. She

desperately tried to break free, but he effortlessly seized her hands and locked

them behind her back. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break

free.

“Wake up, Lucian!” Her eyes brimmed with panic as the distance between their

lips diminished. Even her voice had grown a touch tense. Unfortunately, Lucian

remained unmoved and continued leaning closer to her.

Only when the distance between them was so negligible that they could sense

each other’s breathing and Roxanne was so nervous that her heart almost

stopped pounding did she sense the man finally drawing to a stop.

Heaving a sigh of relief, she cautiously turned her face and studied his

expression to ascertain whether he had awakened. The moment she did so, she

met the man’s clear gaze.

“Sorry. I was still half-awake earlier.” Masking the mirth in his eyes, Lucian put

on an apologetic expression. As he said that, he released his grip on her hands

and allowed her to leave his embrace.

In all honestly, he wanted to continue teasing her. But after seeing her reaction,

he felt that he should quit while he was ahead.

Before Roxanne could even lambast him, he had already apologized. For a

moment, her expression froze. She couldn’t quite decide between throwing a fit

and forgiving him.

She was stunned for some time before she realized that she should leave the

man’s arms before all else. With that thought in mind, she bit her lip and lowered

her eyes as she got ready to stand up.

Unexpectedly, she had been too apprehensive earlier and didn’t dare budge an

inch. Adding to the fact that she had been restrained for too long, her legs had

already gone numb by the time she tried to get up.

Before she could regain her feet, she swayed and toppled forward, falling right

into Lucian’s arms.

Never having expected such a delightful surprise, Lucian calmly opened his

arms and allowed her to fall straight into his embrace.
