Lucian was delighted that she enjoyed the trip. “Do you want to look at the sea?” Roxanne nodded at first, but shortly after, she asked in hesitation, “Can I? It’s so late already.”
“It’s pretty close, and the helicopter’s fast. We’ll be there in a few minutes.” Lucian was aware of her love for the sea. He speedily turned the aircraft around and flew toward the ocean. Roxanne lay next to the window in anticipation and gazed at the mountains below.
Minutes later, the sea appeared in front of her. As the waves rolled by, the stars and the moon reflected on the sea looked as if they were floating on the surface. Roxanne was dumbstruck by the beauty of the scene. Suddenly, Lucian appeared next to her. “Do you like it?”
Roxanne nodded subconsciously. Just as she was going to answer his question, she recalled something and pointed at the pilot’s seat. “Why have you come here? The helicopter-”
He hugged her from behind comfortingly. “Tve set it to autopilot.”
Still, Roxanne couldn’t help but feel nervous as her body tensed up. Upon detecting her tension, Lucian kissed the back of her ear and chuckled. “As long as I can stay with you, I don’t mind if we fall.”
Immediately, she covered his mouth. “Don’t say nonsense like that! We won’t fall. The kids are still so young!” Lucian intentionally buried his head in the nape of her neck with regrets. “Then will you die with me once they grow up?”
He was only half-joking. Roxanne loosened her grip and stared at him with a probing look. “What’s the matter with you? Why did you ask that question all of a sudden?”
Lucian wrapped his arms around her even more tightly. “Nothing. The view just reminded met that you still haven’t agreed to my marriage proposal.” If Roxanne refuses to accept my proposal, I don’t think it’s a bad idea if we just die here together right now.
When he brought up that topic, Roxanne couldn’t help but recall that the ring was still in her possession. He said I should wear the ring if I agree, but…
Embarrassed, she turned away, looked at the rolling waves beneath her, and argued, “Is that ceremony that important? If you’re taking it that seriously, we should be sleeping in separate rooms right now.”
Her words stumped him, spurring him to reflect. on his behavior. However, after contemplating it for a long while, he didn’t think he did anything wrong.
Instead, his thoughts aroused him. Unable to hold himself back anymore, he kissed her neck and started touching her inappropriately. “Those are two different things. Only we know how we’re sleeping behind closed doors. I want everyone to know that you’re mine.”
Upon detecting the change in his demeanor, Roxanne blushed. “You should go back to the cockpit lest something really happens!” Lucian refused to give up that easily. “Look at how beautiful the scenery is…”
Swiftly, Roxanne grabbed his hands and asked, “Didn’t you say you took me out on this trip for me to relax?”
Lucian let out a sigh and got rid of the indecent idea in his mind. He merely gazed at the sea while hugging her. “You still haven’t answered my question.”
After calming herself down, Roxanne lowered her eyes and replied, “I already did. It’s just that only the two of us know.”
That answer brought a satisfied smile to Lucian’s face. Roxanne could still feel his rock-hard member pressing against her back. She was so nervous that she didn’t dare to move.
It wasn’t until he returned to the cockpit and flew the helicopter back that she sighed in relief. However, she started worrying about her waist. I don’t think I can avoid it tonight. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have left with him. Also, is it just me, or is he flying this thing really fast now?
After landing the aircraft on the helipad, he went over to her and asked, “Are you feeling better?”
Feeling touched, Roxanne smiled with glinting eyes. “Much better. Thank you.” She didn’t expect Lucian to care so much about her bad mood that he would deliberately bring her out on a helicopter ride at night.
“That’s all you have to say?” Lucian frowned. Roxanne was confused. She was about to alight from the helicopter when she saw the hatch door had opened when Lucian grabbed her wrist and embraced her from behind. “T don’t get a reward?”
Thinking that he had calmed down, Roxanne planted a kiss on the edge of his lips. Just as she was going to leave, Lucian wrapped his arm around her waist and deepened the kiss. As Roxanne struggled to breathe, thanks to his overbearing kiss, she detected movements at his crotch.
Lucian’s hoarse voice traveled into her ear. “I don’t want to wait anymore. How about we give it a try in the helicopter? No one will see us.” Pushing his chest away, she rejected, “No! Let’s hurry back home!”
Instead of forcing her, he took her back to the car and drove her home.
The couple spent a romantic, intimate night together. Roxanne woke up the next day with her body aching. I wonder if I should sleep in the guest room from now on. Lucian entered the room right then and looked at her with concern. “Feeling horrible?”
Roxanne bit her lip in embarrassment. “All thanks to you.” Lucian sat beside her with a smile and massaged her waist. He didn’t plan to apologize for his actions. “You should rest for a little longer before leaving the bed. Essie woke up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for you. She should be here soon to call you.”
Roxanne’s expression froze. Afraid her child would see her in that state, she endured the pain and tried to leave the bed.
“Mommy!” Estella’s voice rang out outside of the room. Roxanne paused and twisted her back by accident, causing her face to contort in pain.
“What’s wrong, Mommy?” When the girl saw her mother’s expression, she dashed into the room and attempted to hug her mother’s waist. However, she was stopped by her father.
“Mommy accidentally sprained her waist, so don’t touch her. Are you here to invite Mommy to breakfast?”
Estella nodded. Fearing that Lucian would say something he shouldn’t to the girl if he kept going, Roxanne quickly said, “I’ll head downstairs soon. Wait for me in the dining room, all right?”
Estella was still visibly worried about her mother’s waist. Roxanne shot a glare at Lucian and patted the girl’s head. “I’m fine. It was just an accident. It’s all right now.”
Then she stood up and took two steps away from the bed, which eased the girl’s worry. The moment Estella left the room, Roxanne dropped her act. I already didn’t have much rest. This man has no self-control…
Lucian brought Roxanne to the bathroom apologetically to clean up. When he tried to do inappropriate stuff again, she kicked him out. They dawdled for a while before heading downstairs.
Just as Roxanne arrived in the dining room, she saw a glass of milk and a sandwich on the table. It was a simple sandwich, but it was pretty tricky for a five-year-old to pull off.
“Ms. Estella has been learning and practicing making breakfast for the past few days, Mrs. Farwell. It’s only until today that she’s willing to present her handiwork to you because she’s satisfied with it,” said Catalina to the family.
Upon hearing that, Roxanne turned to Estella. The girl looked at her with anticipation and sparkling eyes. Roxanne felt touched and took a bite of the sandwich before bearing at Estella. “It’s delicious! Good job, Essie!”
“You’re better at making delicious food, Mommy!” said Estella when she heard her mother’s compliments. The girl’s reaction made Roxanne laugh. “Why did you decide to make breakfast for me?”
Glancing at her brothers, Estella said, “I’ve been wanting to do it, but we made you angry again yesterday, so…”
