The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1255

Following Lucian’s gentle murmur, a soft kiss fell on Roxanne’s lips.

Roxanne instinctively held her breath and gazed at the man before her dazedly.

Her eyes flickered when she thought of his words earlier, and she finally let down her guard.

Although Lucian wanted to deepen the kiss, he could only test the waters carefully as he wasn’t sure about Roxanne’s feelings. Sensing that, Roxanne slowly closed her eyes.

The next second, Lucian pulled her into his arms and engulfed her in a heated kiss.

After a long time, Roxanne began to run out of breath. She pushed at Lucian’s chest, and only then did he let go of her reluctantly.

Lucian panted heavily with furrowed brows, his eyes as deep as the ocean. As he stared at Roxanne, it seemed as if he was going to devour her.

Upon meeting his eyes, Roxanne felt her heart skip a beat. She averted her gaze in a panic and forced herself to stay calm. “Let’s eat. The kids must be starving.”

Then, she dished up the food nonchalantly to bring them to the dining table and, at the same time, escape from Lucian.

The emotions churning in Lucian’s eyes were so passionate that she somehow felt scared.

Just as Roxanne passed by Lucian, his low, hoarse voice sounded beside her ear. “This time, don’t try to pretend as if nothing happened. It’s been so long since Essie wanted you to be her mommy. Don’t you think of running away.”

Roxanne paused for a millisecond, but she quickened her footsteps the next moment and left the kitchen.

There was no one in the living room.

Archie, Benny, and Estella had tactfully gone to the courtyard to avoid disturbing their parents.

After placing the dishes on the table, Roxanne stood in place for a while to calm herself down before walking to the door to call the kids.

“Mommy, where’s Mr. Farwell?”

The trio sat by the dining table and looked around curiously. Lucian’s plate and cutlery were set on the table, but the man was nowhere to be seen.

Roxanne glanced at the kitchen out of reflex and flashed them a sheepish smile. “He’s still in the kitchen. He’ll be here soon.”
