Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1084

Chapter 1084 Do Not Kick Up a Fuss

After escorting Sonya out, Lucian headed upstairs to check on Estella since she was obviously out of sorts upon returning home.

Catalina was by Estella’s side upstairs. At the sight of Lucian, she prudently came out of the bedroom. Standing by the bedroom door, Lucian asked in concern, “How’s Essie?”

Catalina replied in a low voice, “She’s been behaving. I’m not sure what’s going through her mind, but she didn’t cry or throw a tantrum.” Lucian nodded in acknowledgment before entering the bedroom.

It was just as Catalina had said. Estella looked distracted and didn’t even notice him coming in. Lucian walked up to her and gave her hair a gentle tousle. “What are you thinking about?”

Estella was racking her brains on how to placate her father so that he would continue pursuing Roxanne. Looking up frantically, she greeted him, “D-Daddy.”

Lucian sat down beside her. “Are you angry that I brought you home from Ms. Jarvis’?”

Estella nodded with her lips pursed. “Then why aren’t you crying?” Lucian arched a brow. “Because—”

She was just about to speak when she realized that her plan would fail if she were to share it with Lucian. In fact, he might even stop her from keeping in touch with the brothers.

Estella quickly covered her mouth with her hands, refusing to say another word. “You can’t tell me?” A hint of suspicion flashed across Lucian’s eyes.

Hands over her mouth, Estella nodded vigorously. Lucian didn’t pursue the matter. Instead, he inquired about her relationship with Sonya.
