Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 515

Chapter 515

Roxanne’s brows furrowed in reflex. Right as she was about to say something, Benny, as if he could read her mind, changed his request. “You don’t have to do it every day; just until the anniversary celebration will do.”

In response to Benny backing down, Roxanne sighed in relief and agreed, “All right.”

Her answer filled the children’s faces with elation.

Meanwhile, displeasure flashed across Lucian’s face when he noticed Benny wavering in his stance

He was cognizant of why Benny did it and the reason why Roxanne could readily agree.

Since they were going to be rehearsing for the play, there was no point in her avoiding him for the time being.

Once the anniversary celebration was over, she would then stay as far away from him as she could

Given that Roxanne had come back late, it was already well past eight by the time dinner was done. With limited time left, they could only rush through the rehearsal before it was time for Lucian to take Estella home.

When she was reluctant to leave, Roxanne coaxed her with a smile, “Be a good girl, Essie. I’ll be collecting all of you from school tomorrow, and we can have fun then, all right?”

Only after hearing Roxanne’s reassurances did Estella nod in compliance.

Just as Roxanne looked up to bid Lucian goodbye, his phone suddenly rang.

Holding her tongue tactfully, she watched as Lucian answered the call with an emotionless expression.

As it was related to work, Lucian stopped to inform Roxanne before heading off to the balcony to take it, leaving her alone with the three children in the living room,

When the kids saw Lucian going off to answer his call, their eyes lit up at the opportunity to play,

Thus, the three of them ran off before Roxanne could even say a word.
