Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1081

Chapter 1081 Certain Matters Cannot Be Forced

Meanwhile, on the way back to the Farwell residence, Lucian would glance in the rear-view mirror intermittently. He saw Estella sitting obediently in the back and would sniffle once in a while. However, she did not look as if she would cry again.

She was reacting very differently from when she previously left Roxanne. Lucian couldn’t help but be unsettled by her behavior, thinking that she had suffered some kind of shock.

A short while later, he said in a grim voice, “Go ahead and cry if you feel like it.” Estella pouted as she lowered her gaze and fiddled with her fingers.

Hearing no response, Lucian was about to turn around when suddenly her voice rang out. “Daddy, did Ms. Jarvis really want to hit you just now?”

Estella tilted her head as she looked to Lucian for answers. After all, she had been dwelling on the topic for the entire journey.

Although Ms. Jarvis was angry at Daddy at times, she has never hit him before. It must have been a misunderstanding!

Lucian recalled the kiss on the balcony. Now that he thought about it, he couldn’t help but regret his impulsiveness.

However, he still couldn’t shake the anger he felt over how she saw Jack.

While he was lost in his thoughts, Estella continued, “Why did she try to scare you this way?”

From her perspective, Roxanne was just trying to frighten Lucian even though there was no chance of success given how tall and well-built her father was.

Lucian cocked a brow at her words, and a headache set in.

From the rearview mirror, he could see the earnest look in her eyes.

Upon deliberation, he answered grimly, “It’s true that there’s been a misunderstanding, but it isn’t what you think.”

Estella’s curiosity intensified. “Then what is it?”

Of course, Lucian would not tell her about the kiss. “It’s a private matter between Ms. Jarvis and me.”

Hearing that, Estella accepted the fact that Lucian would never tell her.
