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.

“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.
