Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1424

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.

Hence, she hurried into the mansion, but as soon as she entered, she was greeted with the lively sounds of the children playing with each other and running around.

Roxanne stopped in her tracks and looked inside the living room, surprised.

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

As if sensing her presence, the man turned around to look.

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

Didn't we agree on meeting some other day?

Upon noticing her return, the children stopped playing and gathered around her, yearning for affection.

“Mommy, you came home so late! Daddy's been waiting for a long time!”

Roxanne ruffled the children's hair, but her gaze was still locked on Lucian.

Lucian sat on the couch, crossing his legs. The button on his collar was undone, and he seemed relaxed and comfortable.

Roxanne felt a strange but wonderful sensation surge within her heart when she thought of how he played with the children while looking like that.

Lucian got up from the couch and made his way toward her. His gaze swept past her neck.

His expression darkened when he noticed her bare neck. “Didn't you say your appointment was at noon?”

In the face of Lucian's gaze, Roxanne felt inexplicably culpable although she hadn't done anything wrong. “Mr. Damaris had something important this afternoon, so we had to change the time at the last minute.”

Dissatisfaction flashed across Lucian's face when he heard that. “Is that how the Damaris family does their business? How can they change the appointment time just because they want to? If they're this casual when it comes to work, who would collaborate with them in the future?”

Roxanne did not know how to respond. She could only grin and change the topic nonchalantly. “Did you guys have dinner?”
