Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402

It was already late in the night when Lucian returned to the Farwell residence

Estella had already failen asleep a long while ago.

Lucian‘s heart ached when he was reminded of how Roxanne had completely avoided mentioning Estella just now. He went upstairs to Estella‘s room.

The liule girl had a serene sleeping posture. She lay on her side with half her face covered with blanket, seemingly sound asleep.

Lucian‘s gaze softened at the sight of his daughter. He lifted his arm and patted her head. Then, he tucked her in before getting up and left.

Just when he reached the door, he suddenly heard a sound behind him as if Estella was sobbing.

He stopped abruptly in his tracks, turned on his heels, and returned to her bedside. Lucian gently pulled away the blanket covering Estella‘s face and saw her brows furrowed, eyes shut, and beads of tears staining her long eyelashes.

He wondered what kind of nightmare she was experiencing

Lucian felt sorrowful when he saw her daughter in that state. He raised his hand, wanting to wipe the tears off Estella‘s face.

However, at that moment, she muttered in her sleep, “Ms. Jarvis… Don‘t go, Ms. Jarvis…”

Lucian frowned upon hearing that.

In the past few days, he left right after coaxing Estella to sleep. Even when he checked in on her in the middle of the night, he merely glanced if Estella had kicked her blanket away before turning to leave.

How many times has Essie erperienced similar dreams without my knowledge? Essie misses Roxanne so much. Yet, Roxanne was so merciless. She was completely unfazed even when she heard of Essie‘s condition,

Al that thought, Lucian felt the temperature around him dropped.

Estella seemed to be frightened by him in her sleep because she suddenly started bawling

He snapped back to his senses, carefully carried Estella, who was still wrapped in the blanket, and

clumsily palled her back.
