Upon obtaining the answer he desired, Lucian raised his eyebrow. “I shall graciously accept your invitation, then.”
When Roxanne heard that, she still felt a little awkward, even though she was the one who asked him to join her for dinner.
It was a rare harmonious moment between them.
To her surprise, Lucian proceeded to ask, “Do you need any help?”
That rendered Roxanne speechless for a few seconds.
After snapping back to reality, she shook her head awkwardly. “No need. You can help me watch over the children instead.”
A hint of disappointment was visible on his face, though he still nodded in agreement.
She thought he would enter the living room to do that, but he just leaned against the kitchen entrance and gazed at her. His action confused her.
Upon noticing her confusion, Lucian explained, “I can watch them from here. Besides, you're eager to learn the results of my investigation, no? I can reveal a little bit to you first while you prepare dinner.”
Despite still feeling uncomfortable, Roxanne quietly returned to preparing dinner because she was interested in the investigation.
As he watched her busy about, he slowly recalled what she was like six years ago. She was like that in the past, working in the kitchen countless times to prepare my meals. However, I never cherished her effort. It makes me feel guilty now that I'm thinking back on it, but it also strengthens my determination to get back with her!
The children waited for the adults for a long while in the living room before they approached the kitchen with curiosity.
“Daddy?” “Mommy?” they uttered in unison on their way to their destination.
