Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713 The Man Sleeping Soundly

The children weren’t much help in the kitchen, but with them around, Roxanne’s turbulent emotions slowly subsided. When she came out after cooking dinner, she immediately spotted Lucian sitting on the couch.

He seemed to be rather tired, for he had already dozed off while they were preparing dinner. His head tipped slightly to the side, and he half-leaned against the couch. Even while asleep, he was still as elegant as ever.

Seeing that, Roxanne instinctively gentled her movements to not make too much noise and made a shushing gesture at the children.

The children followed her gaze. The instant they laid eyes on the sleeping man, a glimmer of bemusement flashed across Archie and Benny’s faces.

Daddy would usually settle work matters whenever he was free. But today, he actually fell asleep. Has he been too exhausted from work recently?

The brothers looked at Estella in confusion. When Estella’s eyes fell on the man asleep on the couch, the smile on her face gradually faded. Her eyes brimmed with worry.

Meeting the boys’ gazes, she explained softly, “Daddy hasn’t been sleeping well these days. He keeps having insomnia, but he has a lot of work during the day. So, things have been pretty bad.”

While Lucian had never mentioned that to her, she overheard his conversation with Catalina. Learning that her father had been having trouble sleeping, she had been exceedingly worried.

Subsequently, she seemingly remembered something. She whirled around and gazed at Roxanne expectantly. Roxanne was a tad puzzled upon noticing her gaze.
