Chapter 553
Lucian carried Roxanne all the way to the room. Once he entered, his eyes darkened when he saw that Estella had rolled over to the edge of the big bed and was still sleeping soundly
That was not how she was at home. She would sleep in the same position through the night, almost without moving an inch.
Is she moving so much because she‘s in a new environment? Or is it because she feels more at home around Roxanne?
Holding that thought, Lucian gently put Roxanne down before walking over to the other side to carry Estella to the middle of the bed.
“Daddy…” Estella muttered, half awake, thinking she was dreaming.
Lucian caressed her cheek as he watched her go back to sleep.
When she was quiet again, Lucian glanced over at Roxanne and went to pour her a glass of water.
Feeling someone pulling her up, Roxanne opened her eyes in a daze, only to see Lucian staring at her with a frown.
“Drink some water. It‘ll help with the hangover.” His voice rang out lowly beside her ear.
At that moment, Roxanne felt everything was so surreal.
Am I dreaming? What hangover? Did I drink?
“Lucian?” she called out hesitantly.
“Yes?”
It‘s really him. Roxanne narrowed her eyes, and a pitiful look slowly crept over her
This is ridiculous. Lucian could not believe he just caught himself wanting more.
“Lucian…” the woman mumbled sadly in her sleep beside his ear.
His arms tensed up when her voice called him back to reality. He wanted to tell her that he was right beside her.
Feeling his embrace, Roxanne looked up at him in a stupor and murmured, “Why are you so cruel? Am I still not good enough for you? I love you so much, but you‘ve never liked me the slightest bit.”
Her words pierced his heart like a knife over and over again.
It pained him beyond words when he thought of what she had said, but that was not the end of her questioning.
“Why? What else should I do to make you love me? Tell me. I‘ll change. Why are you so quiet?” Roxanne reached for his face frantically when she did not get a response. “Come on! What should I do to make you love me?”
A frown surfaced on Lucian‘s remorse–stricken face as he grabbed her hands. “You‘re drunk, Roxanne.”
When she heard him calling her name, a satisfied smile broke out on her face.

GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
