Chapter 528
Roxanne was stunned.
Lucian seemed to have decided that she would not make a fuss onstage. He kept her lips on hers for a full three
seconds before slowly moving away and straightening his posture.
Roxanne quietly clenched her fists to calm herself down and stop herself from losing control in front of the
audience. Her eyelids fluttered gently before she slowly opened her eyes.
As Lucian stood by her side, a small smile appeared on his lips. However, all traces of the smile vanished into thin
air the moment she looked over at him. ”
At an angle where the audience could not see her face, Roxanne allowed herself to frown slightly before getting
down from the bed.
For the rest of the play, Roxanne had no idea how she managed to keep her composure.
The sudden kiss by Lucian had completely wrecked her mind, leaving it in a pile of chaos.
Only when the children led her to the edge of the stage by her hand did Roxanne manage to snap out of her daze.
Recollecting herself, Roxanne gave the audience a bow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThunderous applause rang out from below the stage.
The audience was completely mesmerized by the fantastical ambient of the scene, and no one noticed whether the
kiss was real or fake. All they knew was that the scene was undeniably beautiful.
Listening to the thunderous applause below the stage, Roxanne fluttered about, then quickly walked off the stage
and returned to her seat.
“Ms. Jarvis, the two of you were absolutely stunning!” Cassandra exclaimed from behind
Roxanne had finally calmed herself down slightly. However, when she heard Cassandra’s comment, Roxanne’s mind
went berserk once again,
The warmth of Lucian’s kiss still lingered on her lips.
Tossing an apologetic look at Cassandra, Roxanne excused herself. “Sorry, I’m feeling a little unwell. I think I need
some fresh air. Please excuse me.”
“Do you need me to come with you?” Cassandra offered with concern.
Before she could hear what Cassandra was saying, Roxanne had already turned to leave.
The host was süll giving concluding remarks on the stage.
Archie and Benny glanced over in the direction Roxanne had just left. Looking worried, they wanted to chase after
her.
They had clearly seen what had happened onstage. They knew that Lucian had not followed through with what they
had rehearsed and had kissed Roxanne for real.
They concluded that Roxanne’s sudden weird attitude was because of Lucian’s kiss.
Just as Archie and Benny stood up, however, a tall figure stood in front of them, preventing them from advancing
any further.
Lowering his gaze, Lucian looked at the two boys. “You boys stay here. I’ll go see how she’s doing.”
With that, Lucian bent down and pressed Archie and Benny into their seats before turning to chase after Roxanne.
Outside the hall, Roxanne was sitting quietly on the slide in the small playground. Her mind was a complete mess.
The kiss Lucian had given her a moment ago still burned in her brain. No matter how hard she tried, she could not
shake away the memory.
Back when they were still rehearsing for the play, Roxanne had tried to skip the final scene between her and
Lucian.
However, Lucian had convinced her that rehearsing the scene would allow him to fake the kiss more convincingly
so that she would comply, and she had naively believed in him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYet little did she expect Lucian to actually kiss her even after all those days of rehearsing
Al that moment, Roxanne felt her head going blank.
If it weren’t for the fact that there was an audience watching them, Roxanne did not know how she would have
reacted,
Also, Lucian’s expression when I opened my eyes was… was…
Roxanne closed her eyes in concentration as she dug through the images in her
brain hoping to catch a glimpse of Lucian’s expression at that moment. But no matter how hard she tried, she could
not remember.
Lucian’s expression seemed to be natural, so natural that it was as though that was how the scene was supposed to
go.
Roxanne started to wonder if the kiss was just an illusion.
At that thought, Roxanne touched her lips absentmindedly.
The kiss was real.
Nonetheless, she could not wrap her head around the meaning behind Lucian’s kiss.
Or could it be that the kiss was just an accident, and I’m just overthinking this…
Just as the thoughts ran wildly in her head, a tall figure approached her slowly.
Still lost in thought, Roxanne was completely oblivious to the approaching figure.
