Chapter 1568 Being Intimate In Public

Class had just ended at the kindergarten when Lucian's car pulled up outside the front gate.

The two of them got out of the car and stood at the front gate as they waited for the kids.

It wasn't long before they sensed the gazes from the other parents falling on them.

"Isn't that Mr. Farwell? Huh, I can't believe he's with his ex-wife!"

"Who are you calling 'ex-wife'? They're about to get back together, so you need to watch what you say!"

"I've always felt that Ms. Jarvis had an air of sophistication about her. She and Mr. Farwell are a match made in heaven!"

As the crowd continued to gossip about them, Roxanne felt a little uncomfortable and stepped behind Lucian, lowering her head to avoid their gazes.

Having noticed her response, Lucian reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist.

As though to declare their relationship to everyone, he then pulled her into his embrace.

Roxanne's face burned bright red when she realized people were staring at them. "Let go of me! There are lots of people watching! The kids will also be coming out soon!" she exclaimed while struggling a little in his arms.

Being seen by the parents is bad enough as it is. I don't know what I'd do if the kids see us like this! The embarrassment would probably kill me on the spot!

However, Lucian ignored her protests and tightened his grip on her instead.

Class had just ended at the kindergarten when Lucian's car pulled up outside the front gate.

After a few more failed attempts at breaking free, Roxanne had no choice but to give up on struggling.

Even so, she still maintained an awkward position in his embrace to put a little bit of distance between them.

As the gossiping from the parents reached her ears, Roxanne wished the ground would just open up and swallow her whole.

I shouldn't have agreed to come pick the kids up with Lucian!

A woman in the crowd noticed her reaction and reminded the others softly, "Hey, cut it out! She heard us!"

Roxanne instinctively glanced in the direction of that woman's voice when she heard what she said.

That woman let out a nervous chuckle when she met Roxanne's gaze.

Roxanne flashed the woman a thankful smile and maintained her awkward posture as she continued waiting for the kids. She began struggling again when she saw the first group of children appear at the school gate with their teacher.

This time, Lucian let her have her way and let go of her waist before holding her hand instead. While holding hands was considered normal for couples, she still felt a little embarrassed.

We're not a young couple anymore, and yet, we're being so intimate in public...

"What, I can't even hold your hand?" Lucian asked in displeasure when he noticed her frown.

Having been snapped out of her train of thought, Roxanne shifted her gaze between their hands and the displeased look on Lucian's face. Eventually, she gave in and gently wrapped her fingers around his hand.

The next thing she knew, Lucian adjusted his grip and interlocked fingers with her.

Roxanne heard the parents around them inhaling sharply, but there was nothing she could do except pretend she didn't hear a thing.

Fortunately, the three kids' class was one of the first to come walking out. The children stood in a neat line while marching toward the school gates under their teacher's guidance.

"Daddy! Mommy!" the kids exclaimed happily when they saw their parents standing in front of the crowd.

Everyone around them went wide-eyed with shock when they heard the way the kids addressed Lucian and Roxanne.

Even the parents, who had already picked up their kids, stood around and watched nosily, reluctant to leave.

They had been seeing the news about Lucian and Roxanne on television every night, but this was the first time the two had made an appearance together after the recent news report. On top of that, the two of them were being very intimate with each other in public.
