Chapter 1506 Roxanne glanced at the time after Sonya and Elias left. “It's getting late. | should be heading back now. | can't rest easy knowing that the kids are home alone.” “I'l send you home,” Lucian said with a frown.

It was indeed rather late, and Aubree's whereabouts were still unknown. It was possible that she would pop out of nowhere and try to take Roxanne's life. Lucian didn't feel safe letting Roxanne go home by herself.

Roxanne knew he was worried about her safety, so she chose not to turn his offer down. “Thanks.” After getting into the car, the two of them talked about Aubree as Lucian drove slowly toward Roxanne's house.

“I wonder where Aubree is right now. | can't rest easy until she's behind bars...” Roxanne mumbled with a worried look in her eyes while gazing at the scenery outside.

Lucian slowed the car down a little as he reassured her, “We have solid evidence against her, so the police won't let her get away with it. In the meantime, | will also do everything | can to find her. Until she is caught, | will have my men protect you and the kids in secret.” Roxanne felt somewhat at ease when she recalled that Lucian had averted the recent crisis in time. “Thanks.” She also couldn't help but question her own ability to ensure the safety of her kids.

Lucian's eyes dimmed when he saw the look of self-blame on her face. “I should be apologizing to you. Aubree wouldn't have targeted you and the kids if it weren't for me. | failed to protect you all before due to my negligence.” Roxanne frowned and was about to say something when Lucian continued, “From now on, | will increase the level of security around you and the kids. I'll also try to come up with more ways to keep you all safe.” “I just hope we can catch Aubree as soon as possible. Hopefully, she'll repent her ways and change for the better after she's behind bars,” Roxanne said.

Lucian nodded, and the two of them continued chatting away.

It was already eleven by the time they arrived at Roxanne's house.

After spending the entire day working at the research institute and going through a roller-coaster of emotions in the evening, Roxanne was extremely exhausted.

As Lucian was driving really slowly, she got even sleepier along the drive and was barely awake when she got out of the car.

“It's really late. Be careful on your drive home,” she reminded him while struggling to keep her eyes open.

Feeling touched that Roxanne was still concerned about him even when she was so tired, Lucian reached out and gently caressed her face.

“What's wrong?” Roxanne asked, staring at him in confusion.

“I think | might have been traumatized by the incident earlier this evening. | don't feel like letting you out of my sight,” Lucian replied.

Roxanne let out a chuckle when she heard that. “Come on, stop joking!” She couldn't seem to believe that Lucian would get traumatized by anything.

The next thing she knew, Lucian had pulled her into his embrace.

Unlike their hug outside the study, Lucian was being somewhat cautious when he hugged her this time.

“How much longer are you going to make me wait?” Roxanne was about to hug him back, but she paused when she heard what he asked and nervously pulled her arms back.

Lucian tightened his hug when he noticed her response. “Are you regretting it?”
