Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1077

Chapter 1077 Hit Me

Lucian deepened the kiss, causing Roxanne to turn breathless. However, she couldn’t free herself from his grip. A wave of fury crashed through Roxanne as she raised her arm abruptly. Lucian stopped kissing her and pulled away from her.

Roxanne’s cheeks were flushed, but he seemed unfazed as though nothing had happened. She remained in a trance, her arm still lifted and her eyes glassy. “Why?” Lucian sneered. “Were you trying to hit me, Ms. Jarvis?”

Roxanne snapped out of her reverie and was about to retract her hand when an anxious but young voice cried out beside her, “No! Ms. Jarvis, don’t hit Daddy!”

Estella’s cheeks were flushed red with anxiety as she ran toward them and wrapped her arms around Roxanne’s legs. She tugged hard, desperately trying to pull Roxanne away.

Roxanne felt her mind go blank when Estella showed up out of nowhere.

When did Essie show up? Did she see us kissing?

Estella didn’t see them kiss. All she saw was Roxanne raising her arm as though she were about to slap Lucian.

“Ms. Jarvis, Daddy didn’t make you angry on purpose. Don’t hit him!” Estella pleaded as she clung to Roxanne’s legs and gazed at her pitifully.

It had been a while since Lucian followed Roxanne upstairs.

The children had finished their lunch and were sitting downstairs, but they had yet to start playing.

Remembering that the adults were still in a disagreement, they couldn’t help but wonder what the adults were discussing.

Estella clenched her fists as anxiety spread across her heart.

Daddy keeps making Ms. Jarvis angry. They are already at odds, so what if he says the wrong thing to anger her again?

The more she thought about it, the more distressed she was. Unable to stay put any longer, she decided to go upstairs to see what was happening between the adults.

Upon arriving upstairs, Estella immediately noticed Roxanne with her arm raised. The latter looked as if she was about to strike Lucian.
