Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351 A Heavy Heart

After confirming that Estella was all right, James did not linger and left before dinner.

Lucian stayed in his study for some time. Then, he took out his phone and gave Pippa a call.

He had personally sent Estella to the kindergarten in the morning. Even if she had left alone, Lucian reckoned that she would have left from the kindergarten.

Pippa should have known what had transpired.

On the other end, Pippa was nervous to get a call from Lucian, and she told him everything.

“I left after leaving Estella there. Ms. Jarvis told me she would send her back. Did she not?” Pippa said apprehensively.

She regretted leaving Estella with Roxanne right then.

After all, she had not sought Lucian’s consent and brought Estella to Archie and Benny’s home, and even proceeded to leave the little girl there.

There was no explaining it any other way. She was being irresponsible.

Lucian was displeased with Pippa’s recklessness. Besides, Estella had gone home on her own…

“She did.” Lucian’s eyes darkened. “How is Benny doing?”

Nonetheless, Lucian chose to tell Pippa that Roxanne did send Estella home. Pippa heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that. She hurriedly replied, “He is doing fine now. Benny should be able to return to school in two days’ time.”

“I see. Thank you,” Lucian replied curtly.

Pippa apologized profusely before finally hanging up the phone.

Lucian was deep in his thoughts after listening to Pippa.

Ever since bumping into Roxanne the other day at the café, Lucian had not seen her since.

He had no idea what his mother told Roxanne the other day. However, he could sense that Roxanne would not wish to see him for some time after that.

Hence, he only knew that Benny was not feeling well. He had no idea about his recovery and everything else. Lucian knew that Roxanne would not tell him anything even if he were to call her and ask.
