Chapter 1235


    Lucian remained at the research institute for the entire afternoon. After he left the building in the


    evening, he nced at the time. A brief hesitation shed past his eyes before he called Cayden and


    asked him to grab the medicine in his possession for examination. Then he drove to Roxanne’s


    ce.Meanwhile, the children were ying with each other at home.Roxanne was preparing their


    dinner absentmindedly.It was because she felt a little regretful after Lucian left.After all, he was


    investigating a matter involving her, and she wanted to be a part of it.Furthermore, that was the main


    reason she left the hospital in the first ce.However, she simply couldn’t leave the house because the


    children refused to let her go.To make matters worse, she still hadn’t gotten a single text or call from


    Lucian for the whole afternoon.Hence, she had no idea if he unearthed anything.Just as Roxanne was


    getting distracted, she heard the children’s voice in the living room.The children suddenly heard the


    doorbell ringing while they were ying and opened the door.When they saw who it was, they gleefully


    greeted, “Mr. Fairwell!”Even though Lucian was in a rather foul mood, he still smiled a little when he


    met their bright eyes.As he lifted his sight from the children, he noticed Roxanne wasn’t in the living


    room.Hence, he asked the boys, “Where’s your mommy?”They pointed at the kitchen in unison.Right


    as Lucian was going to step into the kitchen, Benny mysteriously grabbed the hem of his shirt and


    gestured for him to bend down.Lucian did as the boy wished and positioned his ear next to


    Benny.“Mommy has been absentminded for the entire afternoon thinking about something,” Benny


    whispered. Upon hearing that, Lucian smiled and patted the boy’s head. “Thank you for telling


    me.”Then he stepped into the kitchen.The children might not know why Roxanne was distracted, but he


    did. Roxanne’s undoubtedly curious about my investigation progress. In that case, it seems like I


    arrived in the nick of time.Right as Roxanne returned to her senses and turned around to check out the


    commotion in the living room, she saw him arriving at the kitchen entrance.As they stared at each


    other, she couldn’t help but recall what he had said before he left and blushed uncontrobly.“Why are


    you suddenly here?” She was used to them not meeting each other often.Therefore, when Lucian


    visited her for the second time on the same day, she felt a little awkward.Composedly, he answered,This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    “I’m here to visit Essie and tell you what I discovered during the afternoon.”Upon hearing that, she


    ignored her awkwardness and inquired, “How did the investigation go?”As Lucian watched Roxanne


    fret about the matter, he felt his mood lifted. Then, an urge to tease her surfaced in his heart.“I’m


    hungry.” He raised his eyebrow and stared at the dinner she was preparing.She was stunned for a few


    moments before she understood what he meant. Though, she appeared hesitant. While I want to


    develop my rtionship with him naturally, this may be progressing a little too fast…“The only thing I


    ate since yesterday afternoon was a sandwich. I don’t have the energy to talk much.” Lucian’s voice


    rang in the kitchen again.Feeling apologetic toward him and eager to learn the results of his


    investigation, Roxanne eventually agreed to his request. “I’m preparing dinner right now. If you don’t


    mind, you can stay and eat with us. We can talk after our meal.”
