Meanwhile, Lucian arrived downstairs and went into the car with Roxanne in his arms. She was so deep asleep that she did not stir at all.
After putting a jacket over her and fastening her seatbelt, Lucian got into the driver's seat and drove back to the hotel.
Worried that he might wake Roxanne up, he drove very slowly.
By the time they got back to the hotel, it was already past nine at night.
“Roxanne?”
Lucian parked the car and softly called out to Roxanne.
In response, Roxanne scrunched her eyebrows slightly. She then pulled the jacket over her shoulder and covered her ears.
Seeing that, Lucian couldn't resist stroking her hair. He got out of the car quietly before carrying her off the car seat.
It was breezy outside. Despite the jacket draped over her, Roxanne instinctively snuggled into his chest.
Lucian held her tighter and quickened his pace, though his steps remained steady.
At the sight of the sweet couple, the people in the hotel lobby looked over with surprise and envy.
Ignoring their gazes, Lucian headed upstairs.
He did not even spare a glance at Roxanne's room when he passed by. Instead, he brought Roxanne to his room.
Just as he was about to set her down on the bed, Roxanne seemed to sense something and held on to his shirt tightly.
Lucian could only bend down and gently coax, “Be good and let go. I won't leave. It'll be uncomfortable if you sleep like this.”
While he spoke, he pulled away her fingers lightly.
Perhaps Roxanne heard him, as she furrowed her eyebrows again and released him.
