Chapter 1375
“If you enjoy it here, then we can go traveling often in the future,” Lucian said when they were on the way to the lake. “The past few years have been incredibly hectic, so I'm looking forward to taking some time off to relax during my vacations.”
He was holding Roxanne's hand. She stared at his side profile and felt a bitter feeling spreading across her heart.
For the past six years, they had been out of touch and unaware of each other's current status.
Roxanne led a hectic but fulfilling life.
On the contrary, Lucian didn't seem to be doing well.
“We can bring the kids here one day. I don't think they have been in the mountains before.”
Lucian stopped in his tracks and turned over his shoulder to look at her.
They had arrived at the lake.
Perhaps they were in the mountains, for the lake water was crystal clear. The branches of the drooping willows by the lake were swaying lightly in the breeze.
Roxanne glanced at him and said distractedly, “I believe Archie and Benny want to travel, too. I've been busy with work and never got the chance to travel with them. Essie...” She didn't know much about Estella but could roughly guess the little girl's situation. novel ebook “Essie used to be afraid of strangers, so I don't think she has gotten out much, right? Now that she's doing better, we can go travel.”
She sounded natural as though she had been thinking about this for a long time.
Lucian tightened his grip on her hand, surprised.
He was saying that on the condition that Roxanne agreed to be with him.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect Roxanne to continue the conversation readily.
