    Upon obtaining the answer he desired, Lucian raised his eyebrow. “I shall graciously ept your


    invitation, then.”


    When Roxanne heard that, she still felt a little awkward, even though she was the one who asked him to


    join her for dinner.


    It was a rare harmonious moment between them.


    To her surprise, Lucian proceeded to ask, “Do you need any help?”


    That rendered Roxanne speechless for a few seconds.


    After snapping back to reality, she shook her head awkwardly. “No need. You can help me watch over


    the children instead.”


    A hint of disappointment was visible on his face, though he still nodded in agreement.


    She thought he would enter the living room to do that, but he just leaned against the kitchen entrance


    and gazed at her. His action confused her.


    Upon noticing her confusion, Lucian exined, “I can watch them from here. Besides, you’re eager to


    learn the results of my investigation, no? I can reveal a little bit to you first while you prepare dinner.”


    Despite still feeling ufortable, Roxanne quietly returned to preparing dinner because she was


    interested in the investigation.


    As he watched her busy about, he slowly recalled what she was like six years ago. She was like that in


    the past, working in the kitchen countless times to prepare my meals. However, I never cherished her


    effort. It makes me feel guilty now that I’m thinking back on it, but it also strengthens my determination to


    get back with her!


    The children waited for the adults for a long while in the living room before they approached the kitchen


    with curiosity.


    “Daddy?” “Mommy?” they uttered in unison on their way to their destination.


    Then, when they saw the scene in the room, they kept quiet so as not to disturb their parents.


    It was as if they were staring at a painting of Lucian, strapping as always, and Roxanne, busying in the


    kitchen.


    In response, Archie shushed his siblings before they all sneaked back into the living room.


    Upon hearing the children’s movements, Lucian nced behind him.

    He grinned when he saw them before shifting his attention back to Roxanne.


    However, because he was gazing at her, Roxanne felt slightly tense and moved much slower than usual.


    Hence, dinner took a little longer to be ready.


    Just as she was about to serve a dish, Lucian abruptly did it for her.


    Roxanne froze for a few moments asplicated emotions swelled in her heart. If Lucian had treated


    me like this even once six years ago, perhaps I wouldn’t have left… Well, it’s toote to think about that


    now.


    “What’s the matter?” he questioned with a frown after he set a dish down on the dining table, returned to


    the kitchen to grab another, and saw Roxanne rooted to the spot.


    His voice pulled her out of her thoughts. Then, she suppressed her emotions and grinned at him as


    though nothing had happened. “It’s nothing. I was just wondering about the results of your investigation.”


    Lucian noticed something was off with her tone. “Are you feeling unwell?”


    Roxanne’s eyshes trembled as she nodded vaguely. “Maybe I’m feeling a little dizzy after sleeping too


    long yesterday. I’ll be fine after I adjust my routine.”


    Then she returned to making dinner rather hastily.
