Lucien smiled warmly at her, appreciating her playful tease and the affectionate bond they shared after so many years together.
He reached out to gently squeeze her hand, a silent reassurance of his appreciation for her presence and the role she played in their lives.
Lucien paused, a thoughtful expression crossing his features.
With a soft smile, he leaned in to press a gentle kiss to her forehead, a gesture of comfort and affection that spoke volumes of their deep connection.

Ah, my dear, you know me too well**,** he chuckled lightly, his eyes sparkling with fondness as he glanced at her.
But let's not dwell on my tiny hypocrisies when you have always been the heart and soul of this household. You bring warmth and laughter where others might only bring duty. I wouldn't change that for the world.
He reached out to gently squeeze her hand, a silent reassurance of his appreciation for her presence and the role she played in their lives.
And as for drowning in work, I dare say you deserve a moment to yourself now and then. Perhaps a stroll in the garden or a quiet afternoon with your paints? It wouldn't hurt to indulge yourself, you know. After all, we both know how relentless the demands of our families can be.
Lucien paused, a thoughtful expression crossing his features.
But if there's anything you need, anything at all, you know I'm here for you. Always.
With a soft smile, he leaned in to press a gentle kiss to her forehead, a gesture of comfort and affection that spoke volumes of their deep connection.
