“It's really late. You should go to bed. Don't go anywhere for the next few days,” Lucian reminded them.
The kids nodded profusely in response.
“Okay! We'll be going to bed now!” Archie said as he casually led Benny and Estella back inside.
Lucian said nothing further after watching the three of them leave the balcony.
Roxanne, on the other hand, was burning bright red.
Lucian and I were just hugging the last time they caught us together. This time, they nearly caught us kissing!
Roxanne shot Lucian another glare at the thought of that.
“It's really late. I thought they had all gone to bed,” Lucian replied with an innocent look on his face.
Roxanne felt speechless when she saw how calm he was about it. “As you said, it's very late. I need to go to bed now. You should head home too, Mr. Farwell!”
Lucian had an affectionate look in his eyes when he saw her get flustered.
Roxanne had just walked past him when he reached out and grabbed her by the wrist.
He spun her around and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.
“Take good care of yourself. My phone will be switched on at all times, so just give me a call if anything happens,” he said before letting go of her.
Having been caught off guard by his sudden kiss, Roxanne only regained her composure a few seconds later.
Whatever negative emotions she had were gone when she heard his deep and seductive voice. “You too. Stay safe on the drive home, and let me know when you have arrived.”
