Chapter 1292

“Did I say anything wrong? I'm more than happy to help pick Archie and Benny up and look after them if you can't

make it. Do you not want my help?” Lucian replied in the most matter-of-fact tone possible.

He then eyed Roxanne from head to toe as he continued, “If you don't want me to do that, I can have Cayden—”

Roxanne knew just how persistent he could get, so she quickly cut him off, “All right, I'll pick Essie up if you're too

busy.”

Satisfied with her answer, Lucian nodded slowly in response.

Looking at the time on her watch, Roxanne said, “Anyway, I need to get to work now. See you later in the evening.”

She was worried about the research institute, as it had been without a leader for two days straight.

Roxanne was about to leave when Lucian called out to her with a displeased frown, “That's it? Are you just going to

leave like that?”

She paused in her tracks and let out a helpless sigh in response.

Lucian seemed to have changed completely ever since I agreed to let him court me... For some reason, I just can't

bring myself to say no to him...

Roxanne turned around and asked, “What else do you want me to do?”

Before she even realized what was going on, Lucian had walked up to her and given her a quick peck on the lips.

“That's more like it.” Lucian gently rubbed her lips as he continued with a mysterious look in his eyes, “Go on, then.”

It took Roxanne a good few seconds to come back to her senses.

Her face burned bright red when she realized he had kissed her in front of a kindergarten.

"You...”

She was about to warn him not to kiss her in public again, but she held her tongue as she didn't want him to think

there would be a next time.

“What is it?” Lucian asked in confusion.

“Please mind your behavior!” Roxanne snapped at him and stormed off.

Although there weren't a lot of people around when Lucian kissed her, Roxanne refused to stick around in case

someone had seen it.

Lucian followed behind her as the two made their way toward their respective cars.



Roxanne started her car and was about to drive to the research institute, but the engine failed a few seconds after

she started it up.

With a frown on her face, she tried starting it a few more times, but to no avail.

She gave up on driving and decided to hail a cab instead.

As Lucian had yet to leave, he saw her get out of the car and quickly followed suit.

“What's wrong? I thought you were going to the research institute?”

“My car broke down. It has been breaking down often ever since it crashed into a tree the other day. I'll take a cab

there. You can head on over to your office,” Roxanne replied in frustration.

She was about to walk past Lucian and hail a passing cab from the street when Lucian said, “Let me take a look at

your car. It might be something that I can easily fix.”

Feeling a little relieved, Roxanne turned around and walked back to her car with Lucian.

Unfortunately, Lucian could not find anything wrong with her car even after inspecting it thoroughly. “I think you

need to have a mechanic repair it for you.” “All right. I'll take a cab there myself. Thanks for trying to help.”
