Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1122

Chapter 1122

After finishing that sentence, Aubree turned and headed for the door.

Still worried, Aubree stopped at the door and added, “I promise I’ll take good care of you in the future. Be a good girl, okay?”

Only after she closed the bedroom door did Estella drop the doll in her hands. Tears welled in her eyes, blurring her vision.

I miss Ms. Jarvis, Archie, and Benny so much..

Downstairs, Lucian watched Aubree leave, though his thoughts remained on his sulking daughter Concerned, he headed upstairs to check on Estella.

His daughter was brooding under her blanket when he arrived.

When she heard her bedroom door opening, she thought Aubree had returned and wrapped the blanket tighter around herself.

Lucian furrowed his brows in concern at her reaction. “Essie?”

Her father’s voice coaxed Estella out of the cocoon of her blanket.

“What’s with you today? Why are you so upset?” asked Lucian as he sat beside his daughter.

Estella sniffled and shot her father a pitiful look. “Daddy, I don’t want my new school.”

Frowning, Lucian said, “If you don’t like your current kindergarten, I’ll transfer you to a new one.”

She clung to his sleeve and wailed, “No! I want to go back!”

“No,” Lucian rejected her pleas coldly.

Realizing Estella was about to burst into tears, Lucian forced himself to soften his tone as he cajoled her, “Essie, don’t throw a tantrum. I’ve made up my mind about this. I won’t change it easily.”

Estella said piteously with teary eyes, “I want to talk to Ms Jarvis, Archie, and Benny

Lucian could not bear to see his precious daughter crying, so he stroked her head and comforted her, “How about another day when I’m not busy?”

“Really?” Estella grabbed his sleeves and probed

If Daddy is willing to give Ms Jarvis a phone call, does that mean there are chances for them to reconcile?

Lucian nodded without a change in expression “Yes.”

Essie would have come to accept Aubree by the time I finish my work. She won’t bother me to make the phone call by then

Unaware of Lucian’s thoughts, Estella broke into a smile as she thought her father would eventually call Roxanne

Afraid that Estella would mention Roxanne again, Lucian patted her head and said, “All right, get some rest. I have work to do”

Estella nodded obediently as she watched Lucian get up to leave.

Meanwhile, Aubree was driving to the Pearson residence with delight.
