“I instructed them to stick to the model interior design because I was too lazy to put in the effort during renovations. We can make changes gradually if you don’t like it.”
Lucian’s deep voice sounded beside her ears. Roxanne was moved upon hearing that. However, Lucian didn’t give her time to process her thoughts as he brought her into the room.
Lucian took a blanket from the bed and placed it on the couch the moment he entered the room like he was proving the words he said just now. He behaved like a gentleman..
Roxanne couldn’t act too prudish now that he did that. Moreover, she had slept in this room six years ago, “I’ll go to the study to do some work. You should rest early.”
Lucian knew it would still be too awkward for her, so he took the initiative to give her some space. Roxanne shot him an appreciative grin. “Don’t stay up too late.”
Lucian nodded and left the room. After resting for a while, Roxanne entered the bathroom. She instantly noticed what Lucian had prepared in the bathroom. There were two sets of toiletries, and he even prepared feminine hygiene products for her.
A wave of emotion rippled through her heart when he thought of how Lucian must have felt when preparing them..
After showering, she walked out of the bathroom to find a set of brand-new pajamas on the bed. Lucian must have specially prepared this too. It was an extremely soft grey silk nightgown, accentuating her fair-skinned complexion.
Roxanne didn’t give much thought to it as she immediately changed into it and lay in bed. She was exhausted from working overtime and moving house in one day.
Although she hadn’t slept on this bed since six years ago, she could still fall asleep the moment her head touched the pillow.
She was about to fall asleep when she heard the door slowly open. Roxanne opened her eyes to see Lucian walking into the room. His steps were light as he was trying not to wake her up.
“You’re back,” Roxanne said instinctively. She was rather touched by his sweet gesture.
Lucian stopped in his tracks upon hearing Roxanne’s voice. He made a turn and walked toward the bed. His gaze turned dark as he regarded the groggy woman with her exposed shoulders. Roxanne mumbled blearily, “What’s wrong? Your should go and shower so that you can rest soon.”
Lucian’s breathing got heavier as he gazed at her innocent demeanor. However, he was trying his best to suppress his desire. If Roxanne was awake at this moment, she would definitely notice something was wrong and avoid such a situation deftly.
Nonetheless, not only did she not notice anything then, but she was also looking up at him without much thought, revealing her bare neck. Not getting a reply from Lucian, Roxanne decided to snuggle back into her blanket..
Suddenly, Lucian leaned down to plant a kiss on her face. Roxanne froze for a few seconds. Her drowsiness vanished instantly when she realized what he was doing. He was already on his way to the bathroom.
when she turned to look at him, leaving her hanging. She was wide awake now, as any semblance of drowsiness had vanished after his kiss. Compared to what Lucian had done to her these past few days, this kiss actually means nothing to her.
Nevertheless, it held significant meaning to her, probably because she was lying on the bed she had laid in six years ago.
Roxanne was still wide awake when Lucian walked out of the bathroom. She instinctively turned to look at him when she heard the door of the bathroom opening.
His hair was still dripping wet as he donned. grey pajamas. They looked like they were wearing a set of couple pajamas..
Upon realizing that, Roxanne’s face flushed crimson, and she naturally pulled up her blanket to hide her clothes.Seemingly sensing Roxanne’s movement, Lucian turned toward her. Seeing that, Roxanne was stunned, but she tried to keep her composure and smiled at him.
“Are you still not sleeping yet?” Lucian’s gaze was gentle. Roxanne nodded slightly, then she glanced away quiltily when she saw his exposed torso.
“I can’t seem to sleep.” Lucian chuckled and asked her matter-of-factly, “Then, you can come and dry my hair for me.”
A crease appeared between Roxanne’s brows. After a moment of hesitation, she pulled the blanket away and got up. Lucian already took the hair dryer and walked over to the bed. Roxanne sat beside him and started drying his hair with the hair dryer.
A look of surprise flashed across Roxanne’s eyes when Lucian’s hair felt cool to the touch. It was a serene and soothing atmosphere since the two didn’t start a conversation with one another. There was only the sound of the hair dryer in the room.
“It’s done.” After a while, Roxanne reached out to touch his hair to check whether it was dry. Lucian quickly grabbed ahold of it before she could do so, and his touch scorched her skin.
Roxanne instinctively tried to retract her hand. Her other hand naturally switched off the hair dryer. She stood rooted to the spot under Lucian’s penetrating gaze. Lucian stared intently at her, stating, “You could have rejected me if you wanted to just now.”
Roxanne furrowed her brows when she heard that. In reality, she had already predicted what would have happened if she agreed to stay in Lucian’s room.
However, she still agreed to stay in his room.
She could have also rejected Lucian’s request to help him dry his hair. However, his tone was so natural, as if it was normal for her to do so.
We are sleeping in the same room. He prepared couple pajamas for us, and I dried his hair using the hair dryer…
For some reason, Roxanne couldn’t find any reason to reject him. Lucian had prepared everything too perfectly. With that, everything happened naturally without obstructions.
The next morning, Roxanne felt as though her. body was on the verge of crumbling down. She looked at the time and realized it was eight in the morning. It’s one hour later than the alarm that I set.
Roxanne endured the pain in her joints as she took out her phone to look at the alarm. She noticed her alarm had already gone off.. Lucian had obviously turned off the alarm for her while she was sleeping.
Roxanne sat up on the bed. The aching pain in her waist made her scowl. They had been too wild last night….
Catalina’s voice rang out from outside the room just as she was about to get out of bed. “Ms. Jarvis, are you awake?”
Roxanne put her hand to her forehead. Any adult will know what we did last night since I woke up late. She answered, “What’s wrong?”
Catalina responded, “Mr. Farwell told me to wake you up at eight. Breakfast is ready. You can head downstairs to eat now!”
Roxanne agreed and washed up quickly, despite her aching body. After a while, she walked out of the bedroom to find Catalina waiting for her outside the entrance. “Where’s Lucian?” Roxanne asked in confusion..
Knowing Lucian, he would have personally woken her up in the morning. Catalina answered helplessly, “Mr. Elias woke up early in the morning and informed Mr. Farwell that there was work to be handled in the office. Mr. Farwell couldn’t refuse him, so he left.”
Mr. Elias woke up already?
