It was already past nine at night when Roxanne reached home.

As she got out of the car, she felt anxious and guilty for leaving the children alone at home.

Initially, she thought Madilyn had come over, but Lucian was sitting on the couch instead.

When their gazes met, Roxanne's shock intensified. "What are you doing here?"
