Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1063

Chapter 1063 Make Them Reconcile

The brothers played with Estella until very late into the night because she would be leaving the next day. It was only when Roxanne went to the boys’ bedroom to call for Estella that she reluctantly left.

Roxanne wondered what the children talked about when she noticed how spirited Estella appeared upon returning to her bedroom. “Ms. Jarvis,” Estella called out in her piping voice abruptly while Roxanne was helping her take a bath.

Roxanne stopped what she was doing and looked at Estella in confusion. The girl stared at her with wide eyes and asked, “Can you really not be my mommy, Ms. Jarvis?”

Earlier, while she was still crying, she had already asked that question, and Roxanne had already answered no. Roxanne was surprised the girl would ask that again.

Afraid that her answer would cause Estella to cry once more, she contemplated the words she should use.

Estella, however, seemed to have known Roxanne’s answer. She lowered her eyes and said aggrievedly, “I know you don’t like Daddy because he keeps angering you, Ms. Jarvis, and I’m Daddy’s daughter. You will definitely not want to become my mommy.”

“That’s not what I meant. It’s just that… your daddy is already engaged to someone, so he has to marry that person in the future.” The girl’s eyes lit up. “This means you actually like Daddy!”

Hearing that rendered Roxanne speechless for a few moments. The children always have a false dichotomous perspective on everything. Just because I denied the claim that I disliked Lucian, she thought I actually liked him, and I couldn’t be with him solely because of Aubree. If I rebut her again, it’ll be the same as admitting I dislike Lucian and, consequently, her as well.

At that moment, she had no idea how to explain the situation properly to the girl.

Estella scrutinized Roxanne’s expression.

When she saw the troubled look on the woman’s face, a sly glint flashed past her eyes. She recalled the plan she had devised with the boys.
