“If I knew this place would remind you of the past, I would have brought you to a different mall.”
Lucian's eyes brimmed with regret.
Once Roxanne calmed down, she slowly came out of his embrace while wearing a smile. “I was just a little sad but am fine now. Now that Essie and I have been reunited, I'll make up for everything that I failed to give her!”
Nodding slightly, Lucian grabbed her hand and clasped her fingers so tightly that she couldn't leave. “Me too. I'll double my efforts in making it up to all of you.”
The conviction in his eyes moved Roxanne and broadened the smile on her face.
As there was still time to spare before the movie, both of them went window-shopping level by level.
When they arrived at the entrance of a men's boutique, Roxanne stopped subconsciously when she saw the outfits inside.
Noticing that it was a men's boutique upon trailing her gaze, Lucian suddenly felt upset.
“Who are you buying them for?”
I know all the men in her life, while I'm standing right beside her. So, who is she intending to buy an outfit for?
As his voice jolted her back to her senses, Roxanne turned to look at him.
The moment their eyes met, Lucian saw bliss gradually take over the regret in her eyes. Moved by the sight, he felt a growing sense of affection melt away his initial displeasure.
With a slight curl to her lips, Roxanne explained softly, “Do you know that six years ago, I would imagine you wearing those clothes each time I pass by a men's boutique while shopping?”
Roxanne gushed like a schoolgirl when she brought the matter up.
Throwing the mannequin in the shop window a glance, she spoke confidently. “I feel that you'll look better than the mannequin in that outfit!”
