Female Novel
Chapter 1251
"Roxanne." Lucian had never felt happier when he saw her come out.
Roxanne should be very clear about what it means to open the door after everything I have said.
Roxanne was plagued with a myriad of feelings. She raised her eyes and glanced faintly at him. Her voice carried a hint of exhaustion. "Didn't you say you wanted to have a talk with me? You can start now." After her words fell, Lucian still kept silent.
Lucian stared morosely at her. A long while passed before he reached out his hands to touch her eyes.
Roxanne closed her eyes instinctively, and she felt Lucian's callused fingers brush past her eyes.
"Did you cry?" Instantly, Lucian's joy was replaced by remorse and pity. His voice did not sound as calm as usual.
Roxanne's eyelids trembled. Her eyes slowly opened, but she avoided his gaze uncomfortably. "I'm just too tired. I thought about the past and I couldn't help but..." Just as she said that, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
Roxanne froze momentarily. After she regained her senses, she struggled instinctively. "What are you doing? Let go of me!" However, Lucian was unmoved. His grip around her tightened as if he wanted to enshroud her into him.
His embrace made it difficult for Roxanne to breathe. She kept pushing him away. "Don't be like this. The kids are still downstairs." Lucian uttered, "I'm sorry." His warm breath was near her ear. "I'm sorry for everything you've been through all these years. I can't make up for it, no matter what I do." Roxanne was stunned momentarily when she heard his words, and she gradually quietened down.
Lucian's grip finally loosened as he seemed to have sensed her discomfort. However, he continued, "Please give me a chance to redeem myself. Let me protect you in the future. I won't let you shed another tear. I'll also treat Archie and Benny like my biological children. I won't let them go even if their biological father comes looking for them!" Roxanne felt that his words were like a sledgehammer hitting her heart forcefully, making it hard for her to breathe properly.
She did not realize how long she had been waiting for these words until she heard Lucian say them.
Over the years, Roxanne had raised Archie and Benny alone, wary that Lucian would discover their identity.
In truth, she did it mainly out of her fear that he would take them away from her.
However, Lucian had reassured her that they would live together peacefully and that he would protect all of them.
Roxanne had longed for a shoulder to cry on since she had stayed strong for a very long time. She raised her hand slowly, wanting to hug Lucian back.
However, Roxanne caught the glimpse of the stairs from the corner of her eyes when she raised her hand.
She saw three tiny heads shrinking their head back at the corner of the stairs. Sath the V
