Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1433

Roxanne was moved when she heard Benny's sincere words, and she began to waver.

Lucian had already laid the groundwork. If Roxanne took the chance and told him the real identities of Archie and Benny, they could let things fall into place and be together. That way, they could also provide the three kids with a complete, happy family.

“Mommy, what are you guys talking about?”

Having been neglected by the trio for quite a while, Estella approached them unhappily.

Roxanne snapped out of her thoughts at the girl's voice. She reached out and pulled Estella into her embrace, asking, “Essie, do you want Daddy and I to live together?”

She seemed to be implying that she was ready to say yes to Lucian.

Immediately, the three children's eyes lit up.

Archie and Benny turned to Estella, who nodded firmly and answered in a childish voice, “Yes! I want Daddy and you to be together!”

The look in Roxanne's eyes softened following Estella's words. “Then—”

Before Roxanne could suggest that they should just live together, the doorbell to the mansion sounded.

Perhaps it was because she just read the announcement, Roxanne had a feeling it was Lucian who rang the doorbell.

He did something like that to protect me. Of course he'll come and claim the credit.

At that thought, Roxanne stood up and walked toward the door, her countenance looking a bit complex.

At that thought, Roxanne stood up and walked toward the door, her countenance looking a bit complex.

She had made up her mind. If it was really Lucian at the door, then she would confess the two boys' identities and accept his proposal.

With that resolve in mind, Roxanne felt somehow nervous when she opened the door.

Yet the moment she saw the person standing before her, her face stiffened.

The hopeful feeling she had was replaced with exasperation.
