Lucian carried Roxanne all the way to the room. Once he entered, his eyes darkened when he saw that Estella had rolled over to the edge of the big bed and was still sleeping soundly.
That was not how she was at home. She would sleep in the same position through the night, almost without moving an inch.
Is she moving so much because she's in a new environment? Or is it because she feels more at home around Roxanne?
Holding that thought, Lucian gently put Roxanne down before walking over to the other side to carry Estella to the middle of the bed.
“Daddy...” Estella muttered, half awake, thinking she was dreaming.
Lucian caressed her cheek as he watched her go back to sleep.
When she was quiet again, Lucian glanced over at Roxanne and went to pour her a glass of water.
Feeling someone pulling her up, Roxanne opened her eyes in a daze, only to see Lucian staring at her with a frown.
“Drink some water. It'll help with the hangover.” His voice rang out lowly beside her ear.
At that moment, Roxanne felt everything was so surreal.
Am I dreaming? What hangover? Did I drink?
“Lucian?” she called out hesitantly.
“Yes?”
It's really him. Roxanne narrowed her eyes, and a pitiful look slowly crept over her face.
Lucian frowned at the change in her expression.
To his surprise, Roxanne suddenly leaned into his embrace and even rubbed her face against his chest endearingly.
