Lucian remained at the research institute for the entire afternoon.

After he left the building in the evening, he glanced at the time. A brief hesitation flashed 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 place.

Meanwhile, the children were playing 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 place.

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 playing 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 | 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 uncontrollably.

“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, “I'm here to visit Essie and tell you what | 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 | want to develop my relationship with him naturally, this may be progressing a little too fast...

“The only thing | ate since yesterday afternoon was a sandwich. | 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.”
