Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1292

Chapter 1292

“Did I say anything wrong? I'm more than happy to help pick Archie and Benny up and look after them if you can't make it. Do you not want my help?” Lucian replied in the most matter-of-fact tone possible.

He then eyed Roxanne from head to toe as he continued, “If you don't want me to do that, I can have Cayden—”

Roxanne knew just how persistent he could get, so she quickly cut him off, “All right, I'll pick Essie up if you're too busy.”

Satisfied with her answer, Lucian nodded slowly in response.

Looking at the time on her watch, Roxanne said, “Anyway, I need to get to work now. See you later in the evening.”

She was worried about the research institute, as it had been without a leader for two days straight.

Roxanne was about to leave when Lucian called out to her with a displeased frown, “That's it? Are you just going to leave like that?”

She paused in her tracks and let out a helpless sigh in response.

Lucian seemed to have changed completely ever since I agreed to let him court me... For some reason, I just can't bring myself to say no to him...

Roxanne turned around and asked, “What else do you want me to do?”

Before she even realized what was going on, Lucian had walked up to her and given her a quick peck on the lips.

“That's more like it.” Lucian gently rubbed her lips as he continued with a mysterious look in his eyes, “Go on, then.”

It took Roxanne a good few seconds to come back to her senses.

Her face burned bright red when she realized he had kissed her in front of a kindergarten.
