Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111 Guilty But Pitiful

Roxanne sped back home after thinking things through.

The kids had already eaten, and Madilyn was watching a science channel with them.

The three of them stood up and rushed toward her when she walked in.

Her two sons could tell that their mom wasn’t in the best mood and hugged one leg each, looking at her in concern. “Mommy, did something happen? You look so tired.”

Roxanne’s heart warmed up at the sound of their concern, and she did her best to force out a smile. “Nothing’s wrong. Just some stuff at work that is a bit hard to deal with.”

Knowing how hard their mother’s job was, the two boys didn’t question it and comforted her, “Mommy, you can definitely do it! You’re the best!”

Roxanne nodded and looked at the time, ushering them to go upstairs and sleep.The two of them obediently went upstairs, leaving only Roxanne and Madilyn in the living room.

Madilyn could already tell that her best friend was feeling down the moment she walked in and asked, “What happened? Don’t even think about lying to me. I could tell you were lying just now.”

Roxanne hesitated for a few seconds before telling Madilyn about everything that had happened today.

When she heard about Lucian being petty enough to take it out on the two kids, Madilyn was extremely pissed off. “What kind of man is he? How can he do that to kids? I won’t let this happen to my godsons! I’m going to tell him off.”

She was about to storm out of the house, but Roxanne quickly pulled her back.

They sat down on the couch and Roxanne chuckled. “It’s fine. I’ve already gone to talk to him. On the way back, I thought it through. You know what? This is a good chance to really cut things off with him. I don’t have to worry about him stealing the boys away from me anymore.”

However, Madilyn still couldn’t let it go. “What about Archie and Benny? How are you going to explain to them?”

Roxanne was still stressing out about that. She hesitated before replying, “I’ll come up with something.”
