Chapter 530 Once again, Roxanne found his words ridiculous. Her expression darkened even more.
He had kissed her in front of so many people, yet now he was telling her that there was no need for them to discuss it since it had all passed.
He made it seem as though she was the one overreacting. At the sight of Roxanne’s anger, Lucian stated seriously, “Whether you believe it or not, the kiss truly was an accident. Besides, I have no reason to kiss you.”
When she heard that, she felt as though someone had put away the fire burning in her heart.
Even though she did not want to believe it, she had to admit that Lucian was telling the truth. He had no reason to kiss her.
After all, Aubree was the one Lucian had always been in love with for all those years. The two of them were even engaged. He would not have left Aubree alone and done something that could cause so many misunderstandings in front of a crowd.
However, the more Roxanne followed that train of thought, the more upset she was at herself.
That’s the reality. Why was I overthinking about it just now? I must have made a fool of myself in front of Lucian.
Laughing softly at her own absurdity, Roxanne lowered her head.
Meanwhile, Lucian had mistaken her silence for anger. After a moment of silence, he smiled. “I’ve come out here to apologize to you. If you’re so bothered by the fact that I stole a kiss from you, you can steal one from me.”
Cocking an eyebrow, he added, “I promise I won’t move.”
Roxanne jerked her head up to look at him in disbelief. She could not believe what she had just heard.
What is this guy talking about?A few moments ago, he was explaining that the kiss was not intentional. But now he’s saying things like this. Doesn’t he know that it’ll cause a lot of misunderstandings?
Roxanne could no longer read what he was thinking.
“So what would it be, Ms. Jarvis? Will you forgive me, or do you want to kiss me
back?” Lucian pressed on.
Seeing how nonchalant he looked, Roxanne almost laughed out loud in frustration. Not wanting to continue the topic, she said, “Since you’ve already explained yourself, we can pretend it never happened. Thank you, Mr. Farwell. I’m heading back inside.”
With that, she turned and headed straight for the hall.
As for the audience, Roxanne could only pray that they did not see the kiss, and even if they did, she hoped they would think it was all for the play.
Behind her, Lucian remained standing by the slide, keeping his eyes on Roxanne’s diminishing silhouette. When he saw that she did not even turn back to look at him, a mocking smile appeared on his lips. Then he picked up his pace and followed her into the hall.
By the time the two returned to the hall, it was the prize-giving ceremony.
When the three children saw them entering the hall, their eyes lit up with excitement.
“Mommy, we won first place!” Benny immediately whispered in Roxanne’s ears the moment she sat down.
With a smile, Roxanne reached out and rubbed Benny’s head. “Thanks to all your hard work! All of you were amazing!”
Benny puffed out his chest in pride. With excitement written all over his face, he turned his gaze toward the stage. “We even received prizes!”
Roxanne did not give much thought to the statement. Thinking that the prizes would be toys for the children, she merely smiled and waited with the rest of them.
On the stage, the host had just finished announcing the names of the winners and was starting to introduce the prizes.
The prizes were given according to the number of families involved in each group. The third place received two mountain bikes for children, ihe second place received three pairs of limited edition Lego sets, and the first place received two sets of family vacation vouchers to a hot spring-one for Roxanne, and one for Lucian.
Roxanne was dumbfounded when she heard what the prize was.
It was so different from the previous two prizes, She had assumed that the first prize would also be toys for the children. Yet to her surprise, they were vouchers for a hot spring vacation.
