Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Aubree Takes Estella To School

Lucian remained silent until the couple had finished speaking before stating calmly, “You’re overthinking things. I’ve no plans to let Roxanne come back.”

At least not now.

While his parents were speaking earlier, he kept thinking about his interactions with Roxanne during this period and concluded that most of them were because of Estella.

As that thought occurred to him, Lucian strangely felt a little ironic.

Judging from Roxanne’s attitude when we first met, she would’ve probably avoided me if it wasn’t for Essie’s presence, and the matter that my parents are worried about now is even less likely to happen.

Sonya’s expression lightened up a little when she heard her son’s words. “I’m glad to hear that. In terms of Aubree, when do you plan to settle down with her? The sooner you do that, Estella will have someone to take care of her.”

Lucian frowned as he turned her down, “Compared to Roxanne, I’m more worried about leaving Essie to Aubree. Essie has always distanced herself from her, so I still need to consider carefully about marriage.”However, Sonya made nothing out of it. “Isn’t Essie distancing herself from Aubree because you’ve been unwilling to accept her? If you had married her earlier and let her spend more time with Essie, they would ultimately develop a good relationship. Besides, we can tell that Aubree had always been devoted to caring for Essie all these years.”

Hearing this, Lucian knitted his brows a little impatiently. “Let’s talk about this later. I’m tired.”

Over the years, although Aubree had always acted innocent and harmless before them and treated Estella well, he did not think that the little girl would avoid her for no reason, aside from not having any feelings for Aubree.

Now that his mother kept mentioning her, it only annoyed him further.

Sonya sighed as her remaining words were cut off by him. “We won’t force you either. In any case, you should think about it carefully. Before that, let us take care of Essie first.”

After speaking, she raised her voice to instruct Catalina to bring Estella down from upstairs and extended her hand toward the little girl with a smile.

Unaware of the confrontation between the adults, Estella obediently buried herself in her grandmother’s embrace.
