Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian)
Chapter 1575

Chapter 1575 In The Wild

Roxanne had been sitting in the living room, waiting for Lucian to return while feeling bothered and worrying about the children.

When she saw Lucian descending the stairs, she asked caringly, "Are they asleep?"

Lucian went over to the couch and sat beside her.

He took in the tired expression on her countenance and pulled her into his embrace.

"I'm fine. Just feeling a little worn out." Roxanne forced a smile.

Instead of panicking, like when the children were around, she nestled in his arms.

Lucian kissed her forehead, held her hand, and stood up. "When I returned from the company earlier, I noticed the weather was good today. I want to bring you out for a ride."

Roxanne frowned. "I..."

She wanted to say she wasn't in the mood for it.

However, Lucian didn't give her a chance to object as he dragged her to the entrance.

Afraid they would wake the children up, they quietly stepped out and closed the door.

Even though they were in their own house, they were acting like thieves.

When Roxanne realized that, she thought it was funny and stopped feeling gloomy.

"The children were already asleep when I came out earlier. Don't wake them up. I only want to bring you out tonight," said Lucian, seemingly detecting her feelings.

At that moment, it was past ten at night.

Roxanne shuddered when the night breeze blew past her.

The next second, a warm coat landed on her shoulders.

She turned back and noticed the regret on Lucian's face. "I should've grabbed more clothes for you since it's nighttime."

Just as he concluded his sentence, he spun back.

Roxanne grabbed him. "I'm fine like this. What about you? Are you cold?"

Lucian held her hand and planted a kiss on the back. "I'm good."

Hesitation flashed past her eyes when she saw the thin shirt on his body.

Before she could utter another word, he forcefully pulled her into his embrace.

"That's better." He sounded satisfied as he brought her to the vehicle.

The car moved slowly toward the outskirts of the city.

Roxanne's face was still flushed as she admired the view outside the window.

When she noticed the gradual lack of cars passing them by and an increase in the density of trees, she wondered out loud, "Where are we going?" Why do we look like we're going to a mountain?

Lucian replied plainly, "We're going to the mountain."

"Why are we going there so late at night? We can just ride around our neighborhood."

As she spoke, she noticed a weird expression forming on his face.

"There are too many people around there. It's not convenient. I'm afraid people will call the cops if they see what we'll be doing." Lucian cocked an eyebrow and glanced at her mysteriously.

As his vague but suggestive words repeated in Roxanne's mind, she felt her cheeks burning. Is he planning to do that in the wild?

At that thought, she wrapped her coat tighter around her body. "How about we just head back? It's so cold outside right now."

She didn't want to say no outright because she feared her guess was wrong. She could only subtly express her desire to return.

However, Lucian was unwilling to do as she asked. "It took a long time for me to replace this spot. Since we're already here, we might as well take a look first. If you don't like it, we can return right away."
