Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 778

Frightened, Roxanne truly did as he said and remained still for a long while.

After coming back to her senses, she began struggling again.

In the next second, Lucian pinned her beneath him.

“I've already warned you, but still, you couldn't stay still. If you were to wriggle around again this time, I wouldn't be able to make any promises about what would happen.” He leaned close to her, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

Roxanne's heart tightened as she stared at the man's countenance that was mere inches away from her. She wanted to struggle, but she was worried about his words earlier.

Just as she was at a loss, sudden movement sounded from the children's room out of the blue.

Both their breaths caught.

As the sounds of the footsteps drew increasingly nearer to the door, Lucian's brows scrunched together. Dropping his hold on the woman in his arms, he resumed a proper sitting position expressionlessly.

Finally, Roxanne was free of the man's restraint. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the click of the children's room door opening.

When the thought of the distance between her and Lucian then occurred to her, her heart jolted once more. She hastily sprang up from the couch and stood at the side.

In the next heartbeat, the children's room door slowly opened. Benny plodded out of the room groggily while muttering, “Mommy...”

He was sick in the first place and wasn't feeling well, so even his sleep wasn't that peaceful. He automatically woke up after sleeping for a while and subconsciously wanted to seek his mother out.

At his juvenile voice, Roxanne swept a gaze over Lucian on the couch before she hastened over to him. “I'm here. What's wrong?”

Benny burrowed into her embrace. As he sensed the warmth of her hug, drowsiness assailed him again.

“Why are you here, Mommy?” Vaguely making out Lucian's back on the couch, he sensed something amiss. But he could only mumble that question since he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open anymore.
