The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520

“Close your eyes.” Lucian gave her another instruction.

Roxanne’s eyelids fluttered before she complied.

She became nervous when she felt the man’s warm breath near her once more but tried to stay calm by digging her nails into her palms.

The little ones watched as Lucian got closer and closer to Roxanne. Right as his lips were about to touch hers, Lucian froze for a moment. Then he tilted his head slightly, creating the illusion of a kiss.

Roxanne was aware of how Lucian froze and moved his head away. She held her breath and waited for quite some time, but the man did not step away from her.

It was so quiet that she could hear Lucian’s breathing.

Roxanne could not help but knit her brows. When she cautiously opened her eyes, she saw the man in front of her. His gorgeous face left her in a daze for a few seconds.

When she came to her senses, she pressed her palm against his chest to stop him from advancing. “A simple kiss will do. Don’t forget to straighten up once you do so as Sleeping Beauty is supposed to wake up.”

Lucian’s eyes darkened while he scrutinized her face.

Upon hearing that, the man gradually straightened his back and gave Roxanne a baffling smirk. “Thanks for your reminder, Ms. Jarvis.”

Roxanne lowered her eyes and stood up. “Let’s call it a day. This should be the ending scene for the play.”

She then got up and walked to the three children, leaving Lucian alone on the couch.

Lucian was pleased with the development.
