Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 It Was Supposed To Hurt

Aubree only allowed Estella to get off of her when she heard the child beginning to get out of breath from crying so much.

Estella immediately crawled toward the window on the other side of the car while enduring the pain and clutching her schoolbag to her chest as she continued sobbing.

“Good! It was supposed to hurt,” Aubree scoffed as she glared at the little girl. “If you tell anyone about what happened today, I swear to God that you’ll never see that woman ever again.”

Only then did she go back to the front seat and drove Estella to the kindergarten.

“We’re here. Wipe those tears off of your face,” Aubree commanded after they reached the kindergarten.

Estella hurriedly dried her face, afraid that she really wouldn’t be able to see her beloved Ms. Jarvis after this because of Aubree’s threat.

Aubree glanced at her and felt like her face seemed clean enough. She opened the door, and as they walked toward the gates together hand-in-hand, she hissed, “Don’t cry or make a fuss again. If anyone can see even a single mark of a tear on your face, you’ll know what I have in store for you.”Right after she had hissed at Estella, Aubree looked back up again with a sweet smile plastered on her face.

Estella did her best to hold her tears back and obediently walked toward her teacher, bowing toward her.

“Hello, Estella!” her teacher greeted cheerfully. She spotted the hastily dried tears on Estella’s cheeks and frowned in concern. “What happened? Why have you been crying?”

Aubree’s expression changed rapidly but settled just as quickly. “I don’t know what’s gotten into her. She was making a huge fuss today and didn’t want to come to school. We spent the longest time having to coddle her before she finally let us drag her out here.”

The teacher frowned in confusion upon hearing that. “Really? Estella has never hated school before. What happened?”

Aubree frowned but quickly covered it up with a smile, hurriedly changing the subject. “Maybe she’s not feeling too well today. After all, her fever has only just gone down. Please keep an eye on her. If anything happens, please contact me.”

The teacher agreed with a smile, not looking too much into it.
