Leaving The Country After Divorce Chapter 715


    Chapter 715 Acted On Reflex


    Terrified by Lucian’s sudden movement to the point that she didn’t dare move,


    Roxanne reacted like a petrified cat when the man drew close to her. She


    desperately tried to break free, but he effortlessly seized her hands and locked


    them behind her back. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break


    free.


    “Wake up, Lucian!” Her eyes brimmed with panic as the distance between their


    lips diminished. Even her voice had grown a touch tense. Unfortunately, Lucian


    remained unmoved and continued leaning closer to her.


    Only when the distance between them was so negligible that they could sense


    each other’s breathing and Roxanne was so nervous that her heart almost


    stopped pounding did she sense the man finally drawing to a stop.


    Heaving a sigh of relief, she cautiously turned her face and studied his


    expression to ascertain whether he had awakened. The moment she did so, she


    met the man’s clear gaze.


    “Sorry. I was still half-awake earlier.” Masking the mirth in his eyes, Lucian put


    on an apologetic expression. As he said that, he released his grip on her hands


    and allowed her to leave his embrace.


    In all honestly, he wanted to continue teasing her. But after seeing her reaction,


    he felt that he should quit while he was ahead.


    Before Roxanne could evenmbast him, he had already apologized. For a


    moment, her expression froze. She couldn’t quite decide between throwing a fit


    and forgiving him.


    She was stunned for some time before she realized that she should leave the


    man’s arms before all else. With that thought in mind, she bit her lip and lowered


    her eyes as she got ready to stand up.


    Unexpectedly, she had been too apprehensive earlier and didn’t dare budge an


    inch. Adding to the fact that she had been restrained for too long, her legs had


    already gone numb by the time she tried to get up.


    Before she could regain her feet, she swayed and toppled forward, falling right


    into Lucian’s arms.


    Never having expected such a delightful surprise, Lucian calmly opened his


    arms and allowed her to fall straight into his embrace.


    “How dare you!” Roxanne panickily struggled to pull away and red at the man


    who appeared all nonchnt before her. She wanted to reprimand him, but she


    didn’t know where to start.


    After all, she was the one who identally fell earlier. Furthermore, she


    basically deserved it when he restrained her in his arms because she took the


    initiative to approach him first.


    She could already imagine the arguments the man would use to riposte her

    before she had even started with her usations.


    Thinking about his possible reaction, she lowered her eyes and zipped her


    mouth in frustration. Getting to her feet while clutching at the back of the couch


    carefully, she remained standing there for a few seconds to get herself steady.


    At the same time, her brain whirred at warp speed, hoping to forget the whole


    blunder just now.


    “I hadn’t been sleeping too well in the past two days. I’d finally managed to fall


    into a deep sleep earlier, so I likely acted on reflex when you touched me


    without warning. I’m sorry,” Lucian uttered airily.


    Following his exnation, Roxanne appeared to have even lesser reason to


    blow up at him.


    In a nutshell, Lucian was trying to brush off his faux pas earlier by iming that


    she had disrupted his sleep.


    They both stared at each other for a long time before Lucian decided to spare


    the woman before him, thanks to his good mood. Arching a brow, he inquired,


    “So, why did you suddenly approach me, Ms. Jarvis?”


    Since Roxanne was still feeling irate inwardly, her tone wasn’t all that pleasant.


    “Essie asked me to help treat your insomnia. But seeing that you were sleeping


    so soundly earlier, I don’t think that’s necessary anymore.”


    After saying that, she made to whirl around and leave, not in the mood to see


    his face anymore.


    She spun on her heel and walked a distance away, but the man behind her


    remained unusually silent.


    Finding it a tad strange, she nced back over her shoulder in puzzlement, only


    to meet the man’s dark gaze.


    As their eyes locked, her heart lurched. She turned back and went to the


    backyard without a backward nce.
