“Let me help you.” Lucian picked up the kitchen knife as he returned to his senses. Seeing Lucian holding a kitchen knife in his hand felt weird as he looked like a nobleman in his expensive tailored shirt and trousers.
Err… he looks out of place. Roxanne was at a loss for words as she watched on. She had wanted to treat Lucian coldly when he told her to make way but was too stunned to do SO.
Lucian clumsily sliced through the vegetables as he wasn’t used to doing all this. He managed to double the amount of time Roxanne would have normally spent on cutting the vegetables.
Roxanne quickly returned to her senses just as Lucian was about to carry on with preparing dinner. “Please leave the rest to me.”
Lucian stepped aside and watched Roxanne as he knew he wasn’t good at cooking. Roxanne felt awkward being watched, so her actions were rather stiff.
“Are you regretting your actions just now?” Lucian suddenly spoke up. Roxanne paused as his question completely caught her off guard. The surprise almost caused her to flip the pan.
Lucian reached out and grabbed her hand before things could get any worse. “Did you regret letting me off the hook so easily?” Roxanne was at a loss for words as his questions hit the nail on the head.
She tensed up as he spoke and thought that they were going to part ways on a sour note again. However, Lucian tightened his grip on her wrist. “I won’t let you regret your decision ever.”
Roxanne turned off the stove with mixed feelings, but couldn’t bring herself to turn around since Lucian was standing behind her. “I’ve promised you I would give you an explanation. It was my fault you lost faith in me as I allowed this to drag on.”
His warm breath tickled the back of her ear. She secretly felt glad that her back was facing him, or else he would have seen the hesitation on her face.
“You’ve finally forgiven me after so long. I can’t go down the wrong path anymore.” As he said that, Lucian let go of her hand. “Don’t worry. I’ll give you an explanation for the things that happened today.”
Roxanne could tell that he was being serious. She asked nervously, “What are you going to do?” Lucian kept quiet and dialed Aubree’s number instead.
It was time he called off his engagement with Aubree. After a moment of silence, Roxanne turned around to check on him and immediately saw his phone screen.
A wave of nervousness crashed through her when she saw the number he dialed. Nevertheless, nobody picked up the phone on the other end. Lucian hung up after a while, feeling frustrated.
His gaze softened again when he turned to Roxanne. “I’ll talk to her and give you an explanation. You were never a homewrecker, to begin with.”
Lucian continued in a determined tone, “My wife has always been you, and you alone all along.”
Roxanne’s eyes fluttered and her heart skipped a beat. She lowered her gaze in a wave of panic as she didn’t know how to face him. However, Lucian grabbed her chin and forced her to meet his eyes.
