Chapter 652


    Chapter 652 yed Into His Hands Roxanne felt a little disoriented and hot upon waking up. For a


    moment, she even forgot where she was. She struggled to sit up. Only after taking in her surroundings


    did she remember she was in Lucian’s car. What did I lean on when I fell asleep earlier? She


    subconsciously nced at the man sitting next to her. Lucian had already retracted his arms. Judging


    by his way of sitting, it was as if nothing had happened just now. However, aside from his embrace,


    Roxanne could not fathom where else she could’ve been lying. She uttered guiltily, “I’m sorry. I dozed


    off earlier.” As soon as she finished her sentence, she sensed Lucian shifting his pensive gaze onto


    her.


    She squirmed in her seat awkwardly, wanting to put more distance between them. Lucian’s gaze


    darkened when he noticed her intention. “Ms. Jarvis, considering how soundly you slept earlier, I


    suppose you’re very satisfied with the environment inside my car.” Roxanne’s body stiffened. Her eyes


    darted around the car’s interior as shecked the courage to meet Lucian’s gaze. “I drank some alcohol


    just now, so I felt sleepy.” Frustration surged within her as she spoke. I can’t believe I still fell asleep


    after my best effort to stay awake.


    Not to mention, I even snoozed in his arms. She did not know if she had leaned over to his side in a


    stupor or if Lucian had pulled her into his embrace. Either way, her actions would cause her to appear


    mendacious. After all, she had tly rejected Lucian previously, yet, moments ago, she lowered her


    guard and drifted off in his car. She feared to imagine how Lucian would perceive her if she had thrown


    herself at him when she was asleep. At that thought, Roxanne braced herself and exined, “I nodded


    off and was in a groggy state earlier, so please don’t take it to your heart if I’ve done anything impolite


    by ident.” He could tell she was trying to dissociate herself from him again. Reluctant to let her get


    her way, he uttered solemnly, “Of course.


    I understand your intention of selecting a cozier ce to rest because leaning against the window was


    ufortable.” Upon hearing that, Roxanne nced at him anxiously and regarded him with an


    inquiring look. Her eyes were slightly watery as she had just woken up. The dim lights in the car’s


    interior reflected off her eyes, causing her to look extraordinarily innocent. Lucian was intrigued after


    seeing the look on her face. “If you’re ming yourself for creasing my shirt, you don’t have to feel


    sorry. I can simply ask Catalina to take care of it when I get back.” He casually reached out to tidy the


    hem of his shirt as he spoke. Roxanne’s uneasiness intensified as she was clueless about what had


    happened when she nodded off. She failed to wrap her mind around the situation while she took note


    of his action and even doubted the authenticity of his words.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Why would I throw myself into his arms? But his shirt is indeed slightly wrinkled. Roxanne did not know


    if her brain wasgging due to the effect of alcohol or because she had just woken up. Lucian bit his


    lower lip in amusement at the sight of her frantic mien. She was watching him with unblinking eyes the


    whole time. Naturally, she did not miss the mischievous grin that shed across his face. After seeing


    that, the truth finally dawned on her. He’s toying with me. Recalling her panicky manner earlier,


    Roxanne reckoned she had yed into Lucian’s hand. Realizing that, she pursed her lips and sat


    upright in annoyance.
