Lucian, however, pulled Roxanne to sit back down. “There's still a lot. Eat slowly.”
Upon saying that, he deshelled another crawfish for her.
At the sight of how calm and natural the man was, Roxanne was filled with puzzlement.
But gradually, she calmed down too.
Somehow, she always felt that Lucian would never let anything happen to her whenever he was around.
Like how she had fallen into the water at the beach the other time, Lucian would always hold onto her steadily.
In the twinkling of an eye, the two got back on rhythm.
Roxanne mindlessly accepted the fact that Lucian was deshelling the crawfish for her. The more she ate, the more she thought it was delicious.
They had just finished the dish when those drunkards gathered near them again. This time, they each had a glass of beer in their hands.
“Hey, gorgeous. Come on, let's be friends and have a drink together!”
One of the drunkards tried to lean closer to Roxanne. He was getting so near Roxanne that his glass almost hit her face.
Roxanne scrunched her brows slightly. Just as she was about to get up and move further away, a hand reached over, firmly seized that drunkard's wrist, and twisted his hand that was holding the glass in another direction.
An icy glint flashed across Lucian's eyes as he lifted the corners of his lips into an unfathomable smile. “You love to drink? Come, I'll drink with you.”
With that said, he raised his glass and brought it toward his mouth.
That drunkard was stunned by Lucian's action initially, but after he snapped back from his trance, he shook Lucian's hand away in displeasure.
Unexpectedly, as if Lucian's hand was like a clamp, that drunkard could not move an inch despite a fierce struggle. Instead, he found his wrist hurting from the tight grip.
“Are you f*cking crazy? Who wants to drink with you? Stay away from me if you aren't courting death!” the man yelled.
Soon, the other drunkards had their attention on Lucian, and they began clamoring about starting a fight.
Despite so, Lucian did not seem to notice their existence. He slowly finished his glass of beer while pinning that drunkard's arm on the table without letting go.
Witnessing the scene before her, Roxanne felt her heart nearly thumping out of her chest.
What is Lucian playing at?
