Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82

When they arrived in the living room, Roxanne was forced to sit on the couch.

The children flocked around her as they stared with concern at her finger wrapped in a handkerchief while Lucian rummaged unsuccessfully through the living room to locate the medical kit.

In the end, Archie was the one to jump off the couch to produce the medical kit from the TV cabinet.

Lucian patted the boy’s head in gratitude and stood next to Roxanne with the kit now in his hand.

The children hurriedly stepped aside.

Lucian sat down beside Roxanne. Though his face did not betray a hint of his thoughts and his presence caused a perceptible shudder in her, his movements seemed gentler than usual.

Roxanne watched him work for several seconds before being compelled to look away. She willed herself to keep her gaze on the floor.

Looking any longer would create unnecessary misunderstandings. The man obviously hates me. Why is he so caring all of a sudden?

After having iodine applied to her cut, Lucian produced another Band-Aid and wrapped it around her wound.Roxanne sighed in secret relief when he finally let go of her hand. She leaped up as soon as she could place some distance between them. “Thank you, and sorry again for troubling you.”

The man frowned slightly at her words but did not respond.

“What are you doing?” The sullen voice sounded again.

Roxanne froze. “The floor needs cleaning up,” she said. “The children might step on the shards.”

Lucian’s scowl deepened.

Despite this woman’s stellar credentials, she can’t even take care of herself!

Roxanne grew anxious at the man’s gloomy expression, not knowing what she had done wrong this time.
