The atmosphere turned awkward.
Noticing that her children weren’t making a move, Roxanne fell into a dilemma.
She thought that Lucian had already returned to the hotel with Estella.
Therefore, even though Archic rani off to find help, Roxanne had assumed that he would bring a stranger back
She did not expect for him to drag Lucian back here.
Roxanne was trying to act tough in front of them, but Archie and Benny weren’t allowing her to do that. In the end,
they did not make a move to help her at all.
No one made a move for a while.
Roxanne gritted her teeth and placed a hand on the ground in order to push herself up.
Lucian seemed to have noticed what she was about to do for a look of displeasure flashed across his eyes.
Roxanne’s movements froze.

Under Roxanne’s gaze, he walked over to her and bent over to take hold of her ankle.
She instinctively tried to avoid his touch, but she was too slow. Lucian had seized hold of her ankle and raised it up.
Feeling his fingers brush across her wound, Roxanne reflexively tried to pull her leg back, and Lucian also let go of
her ankle at the same time.
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lucian stood back up and walked over to her side. He seemed to
have noticed something for his brows furrowed. In a fluid motion, he took off liis coat.
Roxanne frowned at the sight. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Farwell, but I’m not cold.”
However, Lucian ignored her protests and sternly placed his coat over her shoulders. “You’re hurt, Ms. Jarvis. The
children are already so worried, and if you catch a cold, Essic might start crying again.”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne’s lips quivered, but she could not say anything to turn him down.
Lucian suddenly moved to shorten the distance between them.
Roxanne could clearly feel his large hand pressing onto her waist. He then swiftly carried her up.
She instinctively grabbed onto Lucian’s shirt in order to balance herself.
“I can walk just fine. You just need to support me,” Roxanne said adamantly after recovering from her initial shock.
Then, she struggled to get down.
The children were all looking at them. She shouldn’t be so intimate with Lucian.
However, Lucian refused to let that happen.
All Roxanne felt was his land tightening on lier waist. “You’re a doctor, Ms. Jarvis. Aren’t you afraid that your wound
would get infected if it comes into contact with dust and scawatcr?” llis low voice rang next to her cars.
Before Roxanne could even react, the children suurted to panic.
“Mommy, your feet shouldn’t touch the ground!”
“Ms. Jarvis…” Estella’s voice was full of concern.
Roxanne hesitated upon realizing that the kids were too worried about her to notice the intimate actions between
her and Lucian. She then decided to keep quiet and obediently lay in Lucian’s amms.

Roxanne placed a hand on Lucian’s chest. She could clearly feel the warmth radiating from him.
Maybe it was just her imagination, but that heat seemed to have warmed her up as well. Even her face started to
flare up.
Lucian basically carried her across the beach.
Roxanne, however, could feel everyone staring on her.
There were even some people gossiping about them. They were all discussing the couple who were publicly
displaying their affection.
Noticing the commotion around her, Roxanne buried her head against Lucian’s chest, trying her absolute best to
hide to avoid everyone’s gaze.
