Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1468

Benny frowned and corrected himself, “It only hurts a little!”

To emphasize his point, he even made a gesture of a pinching hand with his thumb and index finger.

Seeing how insistent the kid was, Roxanne couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Lucian, too, smiled and patted Benny on his head. “You're a tough boy, Benny.”

Upon hearing his father's compliment, Benny held his head high and beamed with pride.

Archie, on the contrary, felt a twinge of envy for his brother and glanced at his mother.

Argh. I wonder when Mommy will accept Daddy's proposal. That way, I'll also have a chance of being praised by Daddy in the future...

“How's his injury? Is it serious?” Lucian asked as he turned to Roxanne, who was still treating Benny's wound.

“I've developed a medicine recently to treat bruises, and it's pretty effective,” she explained. “In the meantime, however, Benny will have to take extra care of his wrist. He can't be as reckless as before.”

That was a reminder Benny had long heard from his mother, but even so, he couldn't hold back from putting on a sad face in front of his father.

Lucian gently caressed the boy's face and smiled. “There, there. Remember to be extra careful during this time. That way, you'll recover faster.”

Having been comforted by his father, Benny nodded obediently in response.

A glint of exasperation flashed across Roxanne's eyes when she realized her son was acting cute.

The nerve of this kid... He hasn't known Lucian that long, yet he's already clinging to him.

“By the way, I'll bring more medicine over in a while. Take some with you when you leave,” Roxanne suddenly added.
