Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1405

Before they knew it, darkness took over the sky.

After acting as a driver and mover for the day and giving Roxanne a gift, Lucian naturally stayed back for dinner.

Once they had their fill, he played with the children for a while before taking his leave.

“It's getting late, so I'll be going home now. Essie—”

Before he could even finish, Essie declined, “I want to stay with Mommy!”

Lucian threw her a glance before continuing, “I'll leave Essie with you for the next two days. Tell me if you can't manage, and I'll come and pick the children up.”

Archie and Benny's eyes lit up when they heard Lucian's words.

Given how smart they were, they caught the most important part of his sentence—he considered them his children.

Even though they couldn't address him as “Daddy” yet, he had already seen them as his own.

Both of them were ecstatic when the fact dawned upon them.

As for Estella, she was filled with delight upon receiving permission to stay with her mother.

Stroking Estella's face gently, Roxanne agreed with a smile. “She'll be in good hands.”

Lucian flashed a smile. “I know.”

Even if Roxanne didn't do anything in particular, Estella would be happy just staying by her side.

With that, Lucian drove back to the manor after leaving Roxanne's home.

The moment he stepped in, he was greeted by the glum-looking Sonya sitting on the couch.
