Mission To Remarry

“Trust me.”

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.
