During the night, Roxanne chatted plenty with Madilyn until the latter fell asleep.
After that, Roxanne felt a slight pain coming from her abdomen.
It was about time for her period.
It greatly discomforted her every time. As a result, she often had to bear the pain while working.
She thought Lucian had fallen asleep, but to her surprise, he left the kitchen with a cup of sweet ginger ale and served it to her. “Drink this first. When you're done, I'll give you a foot massage. What do you think?”
Roxanne was slightly stunned. While I'm surprised to see him being so gentle since he usually has a stern and cold demeanor as the CEO of Farwell Group, I'm nonetheless touched by his act.
After she grabbed the cup, he told her to wait a bit before blowing at the liquid inside until the temperature cooled down.
Then he left to fetch a basin of water.
As she drank the sweet ginger ale, she felt the pain in her abdomen dissipating. Why is this sweeter than honey?
I think I understand now why Madilyn was complaining so much earlier and said Jonathan must've had some sort of psychological barrier after comparing him with Lucian. She couldn't help but smile as she thought about how lucky she was.
Upon returning with a basin of water, Lucian asked her to sit properly, tested the water temperature, and massaged her feet.
