Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1076

Chapter 1076 Become Her Mother

“No longer related?” The sarcasm in Lucian’s eyes intensified. “This is all wishful thinking on your part.”

Roxanne’s frown deepened. I’m stating the facts! Why is that wishful thinking? It was Lucian who used me all the while, and now he’s with Aubree. How are we related to each other now?

As though reading her mind, Lucian said icily, “You may be right, but do you think Essie will give up on you when you treat her this well?”

Roxanne was left speechless.

Lucian concluded, “You are responsible for giving her false hope, which led to her committing that act, and you don’t even know that.”

Hearing that, Roxanne couldn’t stop doubting herself.

He’s right. I keep saying I want to sever ties with him, but when Essie cries, I can’t help but feel guilty and give in and shower my love on her. When she’s around, Lucian and I will inevitably have to interact. According to Lucian, Essie committed that act because of me…

A while later, Roxanne finally found her voice. “If that’s the case, I’ll do what you and Mrs. Farwell want. I won’t interfere in Essie’s matters anymore.”

Lucian found her act of showing concern for Estella to be insincere just a moment ago.

But now, hearing her agree to give up on Estella so easily, he couldn’t help but feel anger rising within him.

Roxanne was sensitive enough to sense the change in his emotions.

However, she couldn’t figure out why.

Before she could ponder over the matter, Lucian suddenly loomed over her.
