Chapter 1350 At those words, Roxanne looked at the children in the distance who were having the time of their lives.

| wonder if it's the feeling of security Lucian brings that makes the children appear much happier than they used to be.

She could not bear to spoil their mood, seeing as the children did not have many outings.

Roxanne steeled herself to reject Lucian’s suggestion. “I'm not unwell. My clothes just aren't the best fit to get physical in.” Lucian merely fixed her with a penetrating gaze. “Where? Are they too loose?” Seizing the opportunity, Roxanne nodded.

His voice, carrying hints of displeasure, sounded a moment later. “It shouldn't preclude you from playing with the children if it is loose fitting. | felt it when | hugged you earlier, and it fits you just fine.” Roxanne’s cheeks grew redder than ever. She glared helplessly up at him.

My words could not be clearer, yet he still doubts me. Does he want me to spell it out? Noticing the fury in the woman's gaze, Lucian gave her an inscrutable smile and leaned in close to her.

Before she could retreat, he was already in front of her. “Did | buy the undergarments in the wrong size?” he asked softly, sweeping his gaze over her bust.

Instinctively, Roxanne covered them with her hands.

His low chuckle sounded again.

“I bought this according to an order you placed six years ago, but I'd forgotten you bore children. My mistake.” Roxanne felt her ears scorch. She turned her head silently away from his hot breath at her ear.

Lucian’s voice still found its mark. “I can’t take all the blame. After all, you never gave me a chance to take the measurements. | would remember it after measuring it once, and | won't buy the wrong size again.” Roxanne was outraged by his shameless words.

After six years apart, he has become more shameless. This isn’t the Lucian | know.

Her heartbeat quickened in her consternation. She was so nervous that she dared not examine Lucian’s expression.

To her relief, he did not press her.

Seeing her panic, he averted his gaze with a laugh and reached for his phone from his pocket. “Since you're restricted from running around, do you want to take a look at the pictures | took?” Like a startled rabbit, Roxanne was looking around for a place to hide in embarrassment. As a result, she did not hear what he said.

Lucian frowned slightly but remained patient with her. “The kids enjoy having you around.” The resolve in Roxanne’s gaze wavered at the mention of the children.

“Essie looks like you when she smiles. Here.” Lucian scrolled through the photographs, making brief remarks about each while observing Roxanne’s expression.

At every mention of the children, her gaze would shift over slightly.

“Let me see.” At last, Roxanne gave in to the temptation of seeing the photograph where Estella’s smile resembled hers and leaned closer to Lucian.

Basking in the satisfaction of gaining her trust, Lucian did not complicate matters for her any further and placed the phone in her hand.

Roxanne took it eagerly, fixing her eyes on the group photo with the children, and she felt a surge of gratitude.
