His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97

Hearing her sobs, Lucian glanced in their direction.

Roxanne patted Estella’s back comfortingly, but the latter’s sobs merely grew louder. Tossing the blanket aside, she sat up and threw herself into Roxanne’s arms.

Her hands held Roxanne’s top tightly as she cried sadly. Gradually, she opened her eyes and stared at Roxanne’s face intently.

Her sobs died down after she confirmed Roxanne was still around.

By then, her cheeks were crimson from her fever and sobs. Roxanne felt her heart aching, for the little girl reminded her of her boys.

“Hush, Essie. I’m right here. Don’t cry,” Roxanne cajoled her while wiping the tears off her cheeks tenderly.Estella sniffled as tears continued to trickle down. However, she wasn’t about to release her grasp on Roxanne’s top.

The sweat from her palms drenched Roxanne’s top and crumpled it up. Nevertheless, Roxanne didn’t utter a word and comforted her patiently.

Soon, Estella fell asleep. Even in her sleep, she couldn’t stop sniffling.

Roxanne wrapped her up in the blanket gingerly, leaving only her hands outside since she was still holding Roxanne’s top in her sleep.

An unfathomable glint flashed across Lucian’s eyes as he watched their intimate exchange. In the end, he chose not to say a word.

Catalina was still worried, so she came over to check on them. She was pleased to see Estella sound asleep in Roxanne’s arms. “Indeed, Ms. Estella can sleep soundly when she’s with you. Previously, she was a difficult child whenever she got sick. No one could calm her down, not even Mr. Farwell.”

Roxanne widened her eyes in disbelief.
