Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1460

Roxanne took the tableware into the kitchen. Initially, she thought that Lucian had something important to say and planned to take him to the study to talk.

To her surprise, Lucian was standing at the kitchen door with his head lowered as he rolled his sleeves up when she whirled around.

Before she could wrap her mind around it, the man had already strolled over casually. Picking up the bowl she had washed, he wiped it dry.

Seeing that, Roxanne was again startled.

That action of his gave her the illusion that they were a couple who had been married for a long time.

Moreover, the picture of the high and mighty CEO of Farwell Group entering the kitchen gave others the impression that he had stepped down from his pedestal.

Sheer shock deluged her.

Conversely, Lucian nonchalantly started speaking of the purpose of his visit. “My father wants to go to the kindergarten to take Essie home tomorrow.”

As his words drifted into her ears, Roxanne abruptly snapped back to reality. “Have you agreed?”

She remembered him saying back then that his consent was required if his parents wanted to take Estella away.

“Yeah. He seems to have misunderstood the relationship between you and my mother. For that reason, I think he should have a look for himself,” Lucian replied.

Although his father didn't spell things out, he knew the man suspected that Estella was only hostile toward his mother because of Roxanne's instigation.

Since Elias had such a concern, he didn't mind allowing his father to see where exactly Estella's aversion to Sonya came from.

Roxanne nodded in acknowledgment. “Got it. Essie might be reluctant to leave me for the time being. Anyway, I'll talk to her.”

At that, Lucian cast her a grateful look. “Thank you.”
