Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1060

Chapter 1060 Refusing to Transfer Schools

Roxanne was dumbfounded since she did not expect Lucian to agree to their request so easily. She finally regained her senses when Estella came running toward her, sobbing after her father set her down on the floor.

“Ms. Jarvis…” The girl quickly wrapped her arms around Roxanne’s thigh. After caressing Estella’s head, Roxanne looked up at Lucian, who then nodded indifferently at her and glanced at the three children before heading to his car.

Only after watching Lucian drive away did Roxanne take the children into the living room. “You two look after Essie. I need to make a phone call,” instructed Roxanne.

Archie and Benny immediately nodded in response and did their best to comfort Estella while Roxanne hurried into a corner to call Jack, who did not take long to answer.

“What’s up, Ms. Jarvis?” inquired Jack.

“Sorry, but I’m afraid I’ll have to take another rain check,” replied Roxanne apologetically.

According to their schedule, the two were supposed to provide medical consultation at a nursing home that afternoon, but because of how upset Estella was, Roxanne could not leave.

In response, Jack chuckled unconcernedly. “It’s okay; we can handle things there without you. What I’m more worried about is you. Are you sick?”

As soon as Jack finished his sentence, he could vaguely hear crying from the other end of the line.

Are the boys the ones who are sick? Jack furrowed his eyebrows confusedly.

“I’m fine. I just… suddenly have a private matter to tend to,” answered Roxanne after glancing at the bawling Estella.

Jack did not overthink the situation and simply assumed that he guessed correctly. “I’ll let you get back to your private matter then.”

After Roxanne thanked Jack gratefully, the two ended the phone call without saying anything else.
