Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1089

Chapter 1089 Treat You Better

Estella shook her head repeatedly with a helpless expression. Just as she was at a loss about what to do, she heard Lucian’s firm footsteps approaching.

Immediately, her eyes lit up. She darted past Aubree and sought refuge in Lucian, wrapping her small arms around his thigh. Lucian looked down at the child clinging to him and thought of Aubree’s apologetic words earlier.

“It won’t take just one night for Essie to forgive you, so there’s no need for you to resort to such desperate measures,” he uttered while staring grimly at Aubree, who was still crouching on the floor.

In response, Aubree pretended to smile bitterly. She said in dejection, “I’m sorry. I was impatient again. I’m just—”

Before she could finish her words, Lucian cut her off, “It’s getting late. Come downstairs and have dinner with us.” Aubree paused and looked in Lucian’s direction in disbelief.

By then, he was already heading downstairs hand in hand with Estella. For a while, Aubree stared at their figures from the back dazedly.

If it weren’t for Estella’s existence, Aubree would have thought they had time-traveled back to six or seven years ago when Lucian still despised Roxanne and wanted to marry her.

However, no one came upstairs to get her even after a long time.

It was then that Aubree returned to her senses and accepted reality. She got to her feet and slowly descended the stairs.

In the dining room, Lucian and Estella were already seated by the table.

From the looks of it, Lucian wouldn’t have asked anyone to go and bring Aubree down if she hadn’t come down on her own.

Nevertheless, the extra set of cutleries on the table was enough to prove that Aubree was not hearing things earlier.
