Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Who Could Have Done This

Roxanne went to make dinner after instructing her two kids to look after Estella.

She had noted down all the important points that Lucian mentioned earlier, and she also made sure to prepare the food according to Estella’s preferences.

When dinner was ready, Roxanne had Archie and Benny bring Estella downstairs.

Like princes and princesses in fairy tales, the two boys each held one of Estella’s hands as they went down the stairs at her pace.

Seeing the three of them like that filled Roxanne’s heart with warmth, but the thought of Estella’s current condition brought a sympathetic frown to her face.

Archie and Benny then let Estella sit next to Roxanne at the dinner table while they sat beside her.

Roxanne patted them on their heads before taking her seat and feeding Estella.Perhaps because the food was prepared according to her preferences, Estella was able to finish everything without any issues.

After dinner, Roxanne had Archie and Benny return to their bedroom before bringing Estella into hers for a bath.

Estella showed no response whatsoever when Roxanne helped undress her.

As the pants came off, Roxanne was greeted by horrifying bruises and welts all over Estella’s buttocks.

“It must’ve been really painful, huh?” Roxanne asked while caressing the little girl’s cheeks, feeling sorry for her.

Estella simply stared blankly at her in response.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to be gentle, and we’ll give Daddy a call once we’re done with your bath,” Roxanne continued with a heavy heart after a brief moment of silence.

After giving Estella a quick bath and a change of clothes, Roxanne had her wait on the bed while she gave Lucian a call.
