Chapter 519
Having heard Lucian’s words, the frowning Roxanne felt a strong sense of resistance within her
Lucian’s deep voice rang out again. “If we don’t rehearse it, please don’t accuse me of taking advantage of you when I kiss you by mistake.”
In that moment, Roxanne couldn’t believe her ears.
Nevertheless, she did find the scenario Lucian had conjured up to be entirely possible.
“Besides, neither of us are actors by profession. If we don’t practice, how would we know where we should stand to make the kiss realistic?” Lucian, who could sense her wavering, pressed on calmly, causing her to feel ambivalent about the matter.
She admitted that he had a point. However, given that the anniversary celebration was still a few days away, she would have to be in close proximity to him for consecutive days if they were to rehearse the scene.
In the midst of her hesitation, Estella’s squeaky voice piped up, “Why are we rehearsing everything but this scene?”
She proceeded to give Roxanne a quizzical yet innocent look.
When she saw the confusion in Estella’s eyes, Roxanne sighed in resignation. “Fine. We’ll run through it too.”
After giving in, she threw Lucian a glance.
Nevertheless, all she saw was a detached expression, as if the comment he made was solely for the sake of the rehearsal.
Shifting her gaze away, Roxanne prayed that it was just her imagination that was running wild
Given that every scene before the kiss had been rehearsed multiple times, Roxanne had no choice but to jump right into the kissing scene.
The children subsequently led her to the couch, wanting her to lie down.
However, when Roxanne didn’t move a muscle, Estella urged her, “Ms. Jarvis, lie down quickly!”
