Meanwhile, in Lucian's car, Roxanne couldn't help but glance at him through the rearview mirror.
Six years ago, she wouldn't miss the chance to spend time with Lucian. She would always stare at his face intently, hoping he could spare a glance at her. Alas, it had never happened.
Now, she finally got the chance to stare at him whenever she wanted.
All the while, she had thought her feelings for Lucian had faded over time.
Never in her wildest dreams did she expect to still be deeply and wildly in love with Lucian.
“How was it? Are you satisfied?” Lucian suddenly turned to look at her.
Roxanne stiffened and blurted out, “Not bad.”
Hearing that, Lucian chuckled in amusement.
Roxanne belatedly regained her composure and realized what she had just said. Her cheeks flushed a crimson red immediately.
Lucian wasn't about to push her too much.
Sensing her anxiety, he changed the topic. “Thanks to you and the boys, Essie is doing so much better now.”
Roxanne relaxed subconsciously when she heard Estella's name. Her eyes softened as she said, “I didn't do anything. Essie is shy, so we should make an effort to befriend her. I should be grateful that she's willing to open her heart to me.”
There was nothing more moving than being trusted by a young girl.
They chatted about Estella's change throughout the journey.
Roxanne's gaze soon drifted to the scenery outside the car window. She was taken aback by the unfamiliarity of her surroundings.
