Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527

It was dimly lit below the stage.

Lucian could feel the children smiling beside him. Feeling curious, he gazed in their direction. The three children were whispering to each other about who knows-what with secretive looks on their faces. Every so often, they would cover their mouths to muftle out their soft giggles.

From beside them, Roxanne was looking at the children with a gentle smile on her face.

It was quite a tender moment.

However, the moment her eyes met Lucian’s, her loving smile turned stiff ever so slightly

Roxanne lowered her gaze and composed herself before turning her face away so that Lucian could only see her side profile.

Lucian’s gaze darkened. With his brows knitted tightly together, he, too, turned his gaze away.

They were the last ones to perform.

When the second-last performance was about to come to an end, Lucian and Roxanne directed the children backstage and got ready to perform.

They had thought the children would feel at least a little nervous, as it was their first time performing in front of an audience.

Unexpectedly, the three children were buzzing with excitement. A huge grin hung on their faces as their eyes shone in delight, much to Roxanne’s relief.

After the host introduced them, Roxanne led the children onstage.

The first few scenes were flawless. Everything was exactly as they had rehearsed. As they carried oui the scene, the children showed no signs of stage fright. In fact, they were far more confident than all the other children.

Roxanne could even hear the audible gasps of the audience,

When it was Estella’s turn, the crowd erupted with applause the moment her childish voice rang out as she recited her first line,

Everyone was aware of Estella’s condition. She was even known as Little Mute in the outside world. Al that moment, when they heard Estella speak so fluently with their

own ears, they were both surprised and overjoyed.

At the sight of the two of them in the same scene, the crowd fell silent. The scene was so breathtaking that the audience almost did not want to move for fear that any motion would disrupt the atmosphere.

Onstage, the prince stood by the wooden bed and gazed at the sleeping princess lovingly. With the sword in one hand, Lucian held the headboard with his other hand and slowly leaned in.

The distance between the two beautiful side profiles got closer and closer. By then, the crowd had held their breath. Their eyes were brimming with anticipation.

As Roxanne lay still on the bed, she could feel Lucian’s breath inching closer and closer to her face.

Even though they had rehearsed that very scene twice, Roxanne could still feel her heart rate picking up as the scene played out at that moment.

On top of her nervousness, Roxanne could vaguely sense that Lucian did not turn away as rehearsed.

Instinctively, Roxanne’s brows twitched. However, at the thought of the audience below the stage, she forced herself to maintain a calm complexion and resisted the urge to open her eyes and see what was happening.

In the next second, she felt something warm and gentle on her lips.
