Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 507

Chapter 507

Roxanne tensed up the moment their gazes met. She then retracted her gaze and tried to act like she was looking at something else in his direction.

“Hurry up and dig in. The food is getting cold,” Lysa urged them with a smile.

Having been snapped out of her daze, Roxanne nodded absent-mindedly and began topping the kids’ plates up with food.

Estella simply stared at her food and refused to eat it.

“What’s wrong, Essie? Do you not like the food?” Roxanne asked in confusion.

I don’t recall her being a picky eater, though…

Estella cautiously glanced at the living room before saying in an adorable voice, “Daddy…”

Roxanne’s expression froze as she knew what Estella was going to say.

“Daddy hasn’t eaten either. Can he join us?” Estella asked with an expectant look in her eyes.

Roxanne let out a helpless sigh when she heard that.

I figured Lucian probably hadn’t eaten when I heard Estella had come over immediately after school. Since he was already here, I thought of inviting him to the table to show him the most basic of hospitality. However, he only asked if I could let Estella join us for dinner, so I couldn’t really bring myself to invite him. Besides, he didn’t seem like he wanted to join us anyway…

“Ms. Jarvis?” Estella tugged at her shirt sleeve.

Roxanne let out a silent sigh and patted her on the head as she said, “Sorry, I didn’t know. I’ll go invite your daddy right now.”
