Upon returning to her senses, Roxanne raised her head and saw Lucian beside her. She felt a pang of unknown guilt in her heart as she said, “Thank you...”
Instead of replying, he furrowed his eyebrows and didn't let go of her wrist.
She gently struggled to break free from his grip but to no avail. Instead, they attracted a lot of people's attention.
Under the colorful lights, both of them looked astounding in formal attire. Lucian's coat was draped over Roxanne's white dress, and he was holding onto her wrist domineeringly. They looked like a prince and a princess who were escaping from somewhere.
“Sir.”
Just as she was going to say something to make him let go of her hand, they heard a child's voice.
They stood still and stared in the direction where the voice came from.
A girl in plain clothing was hugging a huge bouquet of flowers in front of them and staring at them with an innocent expression.
When the girl saw the two of them looking at her, she flashed a sweet smile. “How about you buy a bouquet of flowers for her, Sir?” She raised the flowers in her arms. “My flowers are very fresh and cheap! I swear!”
Lucian frowned, his instinct telling him that it was a scam.
However, Roxanne was already kneeling in front of the girl. With a grin, she patted the child's head and asked softly, “Are you here selling flowers by yourself, little girl?”
The child shook her head and held the bouquet with one hand before pointing at a stall not too far away from their location. “Mommy's over there. I want Mommy to go home early.”
