Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 714 You Have Been Having Insomnia

In the afternoon, they had a row and later played with the children, so Roxanne didn’t pay much attention to Lucian’s countenance. But as she scrutinized his face at that moment, she discovered that his insomnia in the past few days might have been pretty severe, for there were distinct dark circles under his eyes. Besides, it was rare for him to sleep so soundly.

No sooner had her fingers come into contact with his pulse than she noticed him frowning, as though he was on the verge of waking up.
