Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1291

Chapter 1291

Naturally, Roxanne noticed the sudden change in his attitude and knew the reason behind it. “I'm glad to hearthat,” she replied coldly.

Jeffrey's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard her cold response, but he forced himself to maintain a smile on his face.

“The kids miss Essie a lot, so no one is going to bully her.” Pippa quickly stepped in to defuse the tension.

Roxanne flashed her a polite smile in response. “I'll be placing Essie in your care, Ms. Ward.”

Since it was time for class to start, Pippa got ready to bring the kids inside.

Right then, Lucian recalled something and called out to her, "By the way, do not let Aubree pick Essie up from school if she shows up. In the event that I am unable to pick Essie up myself, Ms. Jarvis here will do it for me.”

He then shot Roxanne a meaningful look after saying that.

Of course, Pippa understood what he was implying. She glanced at Roxanne in surprise.

I knew there was something off about the relationship between them, but I didn't think Ms. Jarvis would take Ms. Pearson's place in Mr. Farwell's heart!

Having come to a sudden realization, Pippa began to view Roxanne in a different light.

Roxanne did not expect Lucian to say something like that out of the blue, so she didn’t know how to respond at all.

She was still trying to find the words when Estella tugged at the hem of her shirt and asked excitedly, “Is that true, Aunt Roxanne? Will you come to pick me up from now on?”

Everyone shifted their gaze to Roxanne upon hearing that.

Roxanne simply couldn't bring herself to say no when she saw the expectant look in Estella's eyes. “Yeah, that's right. If your daddy can’t come to pick you up, then you can play with Archie and Benny instead!” she said with a nod.

All three of the kids cheered happily when they heard that.

“Similarly, if Ms. Jarvis can't make it, I will pick them up for her,” Lucian chimed in.
