Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498

That night, both the boys and Roxanne did not get a good night’s sleep.

Roxanne couldn’t stop thinking about Lucian’s reply in the group chat and also their collaboration in the play.

As for the kids, they were kept awake by the worry that their mommy would back out of the play.

The next morning, Roxanne stepped out of her room and saw two little “pandas” at her door.

Surprised at the sight of the dark circles around the boys’ eyes, she frowned and softly jested, “Where did these two pandas come from?”

The boys innocently looked up to her and gave her sheepish smiles.

Roxanne shook her head and asked with concern, “What happened? Did you not sleep well last night? How did you get such bad dark circles?”

Roxanne’s heart ached, and she bent over and gently caressed the area around their eyes.

The boys closed their eyes to accommodate her, but there was a look of anxiousness on their faces. “Mommy, you’re still going to join us in the anniversary celebration, right?” They sought her assurance.

Lucian’s face appeared in Roxanne’s mind when she was reminded of the anniversary play. Her heart sank, but she put on a brave front and said, “Of course! Mr. Bauer told me the groupings are final, and we can’t make changes anymore.”

The two boys nodded in relief, but their eyes never left her.

Roxanne wondered if it was her imagination, but she thought Archie and Benny looked apologetic.

She was puzzled by their abnormal behavior as she could not recall the boys doing anything naughty or hurtful to her.
