His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Roxanne looked up Lucian’s number from her contact list.

She had saved it only because she didn’t want to miss his call back when Estella had wandered off from home.

It was now that the woman remembered she had saved his contact name as just “A.”

After changing it to his actual name, Roxanne dialed the number.

Lucian was about to head out and look for Estella on his own when his phone rang.

Seeing the name on his screen, his eyes narrowed as he answered the call.

“It’s me.” Roxanne’s voice came from across the line.

Lucian scoffed internally at the thought of how she had escaped his previous antics. “What do you want?” he asked in the same frigid tone the woman used.

Roxanne glanced at the little girl beside her. What’s with that tone? I would’ve hung up right away if it weren’t for the child!

“Essie came looking for me first thing in the morning. Come and get her if you’re free. Or you can tell me your address, and I’ll take her there.”

Upon hearing that, Lucian furrowed his brows slightly. “Give me your address.”

“32, Durwest Garden.”

The man hung up right after that.

Roxanne breathed an internal sigh of relief as she watched her screen turn black. She turned toward the little girl standing beside her, saying, “Your daddy’s coming over to pick you up. Be a good girl and go home with him, okay?”

Estella nodded but secretly began pondering over her next move.

She had finally gotten the chance to be with this pretty lady and didn’t want to have to leave so soon.

But Daddy’s on his way here. What should I do to be able to stay

Unfortunately, Archie saw through her intentions immediately and crossed his arms. “Your daddy hates my mommy, so he’s definitely not going to let you stay. I suggest you give up on the idea.”

Estella’s gaze darkened as she heard that.

It’s true. Daddy doesn’t like her. He even argues with her in front of me.

But I like Ms. Jarvis!
