Leaving The Country After Divorce

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 even lambast him, he had already apologized. For a moment, her expression froze. She couldn’t quite decide between throwing a fit and forgiving him.
