Roxanne had been sitting in the living room, waiting for Lucian to return while feeling bothered and worrying about the children.
When she saw Lucian descending the stairs, she asked caringly, “Are they asleep?”
Lucian went over to the couch and sat beside her.
He took in the tired expression on her countenance and pulled her into his embrace.
“I'm fine. Just feeling a little worn out.” Roxanne forced a smile.
Instead of panicking, like when the children were around, she nestled in his arms.
Lucian kissed her forehead, held her hand, and stood up. “When I returned from the company earlier, I noticed the weather was good today. I want to bring you out for a ride.”
Roxanne frowned. “I...”
She wanted to say she wasn't in the mood for it.
However, Lucian didn't give her a chance to object as he dragged her to the entrance.
Afraid they would wake the children up, they quietly stepped out and closed the door.
Even though they were in their own house, they were acting like thieves.
When Roxanne realized that, she thought it was funny and stopped feeling gloomy.
“The children were already asleep when I came out earlier. Don't wake them up. I only want to bring you out tonight,” said Lucian, seemingly detecting her feelings.
At that moment, it was past ten at night.
Roxanne shuddered when the night breeze blew past her.
The next second, a warm coat landed on her shoulders.
