Chapter 776


    Chapter 776 Never Allow Her Close To Another Man


    “What exactly are your thoughts about me?” Lucian’s voice was a touch hoarse.


    He started feigning sleep right when he heard Roxanneing out of her room. In his hurry, he forgot


    all about the nket he had flipped open halfway. Never had he expected her to actuallye over


    and attempt to tuck the nket around him.


    Just a while ago, he was feeling irritable thanks to her rtionship with another man, but earlier, his


    heart melted because of the hint of tenderness she showed him.


    Roxanne was stunned for several seconds. Promptly snapping back to her senses, she automatically


    lifted her hands to shove at him. To her surprise, the man’s grip on her tightened, making it so that she


    couldn’t struggle at all.


    Lucian’s voice continued echoing beside her ear. “When are you nning to ept me?”


    At his question, Roxanne’s eyes constricted imperceptibly. Snapping her head to the side, she gaped at


    the man who was an inch away from her. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her voice turned remarkably


    steely. “You’re all befuddled from sleep, Lucian! Hurry up and let go of me!”


    Contrarily, Lucian snickered cryptically. “You were the one who provoked me first.”


    His statement had bewilderment swamping Roxanne. She only realized what he meant when the


    events earlier shed across her mind. “You weren’t asleep?”


    Arching a brow, Lucian chuckled nomittally. “I pondered over Benny’s mumbles earlier, and I think


    we can make it a reality.”


    At the thought of Benny’s groggy address of the man and hisment then, Roxanne’s heart abruptly


    jolted. Her struggles grew increasingly forceful. “He was merely mumbling in his sleep, so you don’t


    need to take it to heart, Mr. Farwell…”


    “As you said, the two boys had no father the moment they were born. Likewise, Essie had no mother


    the moment she was born.”


    At the mention of Este, Lucian eyed the woman in his arms meaningfully before he continued, “It so


    happens that the boys aren’t averse to me. Even if it’s for their sake, you should consider me, Ms.


    Jarvis.”


    Roxanne started wavering. The scales deep within her gradually tilted toward him.


    Indeed, all three kidsck aplete family. If I were to really get together with him, at the very least, I


    could make things up to Archie and Benny, enabling them to be with their father.


    But at the thought of Este, a knot of uneasiness lodged within her. “If possible, kids will want to be


    with their biological parents.”


    Until now, I’ve got no idea who Essie’s biological mother is nor the despicable means she utilized to


    climb into his bed back then. On top of it all, I can’t fathom how she could leave blithely after giving


    birth to Essie for him. Furthermore, his love for Essie leaves me no doubt about his feelings toward her


    biological mother.


    Knowing nothing of her thoughts, Lucian presumed she was still pining after Archie and Benny’s


    biological father. His voice became somewhat chilly. “You’re still pining after that man?”


    Jolted out of her musings, Roxanne frowned in puzzlement.


    “You’re still waiting for him though he abandoned you and your sons?” Lucian was both anguished and


    vexed. The look in his eyes was dark and gloomy.


    At that, Roxanne froze for a few seconds before a wry smile tugged at her lips.


    Well, he doesn’t yet know the scumbag he’s speaking of is himself.

    When Lucian received no response from her, the temperature around him dropped several degrees.


    Making no secret of his possessiveness, he dered, “If he dares seek you guys out again, I’ll never let


    him off the hook!”


    No matter her thoughts on this, as long as I’m alive, I’ll never allow her to draw close to another man,


    let alone one who once hurt her!
