Leaving The Country After Divorce (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 714

Chapter 714 You Have Been Having Insomnia

In the afternoon, they had a row and later played with the children, so Roxanne

didn’t pay much attention to Lucian’s countenance. But as she scrutinized his

face at that moment, she discovered that his insomnia in the past few days

might have been pretty severe, for there were distinct dark circles under his

eyes. Besides, it was rare for him to sleep so soundly.

Even during the few times when we slept together six years ago, he had always

been a light sleeper, so much so that he’d immediately jolt awake whenever I

drew close to him. Then, he’d get off the bed and leave.

Recalling her experience six years ago, she sighed inwardly as she regarded

the man sleeping soundly in front of her. “Mr. Farwell?” Roxanne called out to

him softly, hoping to wake him up so as to facilitate the treatment process.

Regretfully, there was absolutely no reaction from Lucian. After hesitating for a

few seconds, Roxanne gingerly reached out and rested her hand on his wrist,

which lay limp at the side.

No sooner had her fingers come into contact with his pulse than she noticed him

frowning, as though he was on the verge of waking up.

The instant she saw that, her heart jolted, and she reflexively tightened her

fingers around his wrist. In the next heartbeat, she realized what she had done

and hastily wanted to retract her hand. Alas, it was already too late.

While sleeping, Lucian groggily sensed someone approaching him. Just when

he was about to open his eyes for a look, he felt a hand grasping his wrist. He

instinctively grabbed the hand and pulled the person into his arms.

“Uh…” Caught off guard, Roxanne was yanked into his embrace. She groaned

unconsciously before reaching out to break free from his hold. “It’s me, Lucian!

Let go of me!”

Lucian frowned slightly when he heard that voice, finding it rather familiar.

Lifting his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of Roxanne sitting on his lap

uneasily, struggling in a panic.
