Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 546

Chapter 546

The colorful and dazzling fireworks emblazoned the sky.

Everyone simultaneously quieted down and looked up at the scenic view of the night sky.

At that instant, only the music played by the band echoed on the beach.

Seemingly to coordinate with the tranquil ambiance, the band members tacitly switched the song they were playing to a more relaxing piece.

Benny paused for a few seconds before slowly catching up with the band’s rhythm.

Holding Archie’s hand, Roxanne gazed up at the bursting fireworks in the sky. Then she turned her attention back to Benny, who was playing the drums. A heartfelt grin spread across her face.

Beside Roxanne, Estella grasped her father’s hand and jumped on the spot, wanting to get a clearer view of the fireworks display.

Estella was too short. The horde of onlookers clouded her field of vision when she gazed up.

Lucian glanced downward at Estella before slightly bending down his body. Then, he carried her in his arm and placed her on his shoulder.

Estella’s eyes shone as she appreciated the beauty of the fireworks in the sky.

Meanwhile, Archie was unable to see the fireworks too. A hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes when he saw Estella sitting on Lucian’s shoulder.

If Daddy had not abandoned Mommy and us, perhaps Benny and I could also sit on his shoulder…

Roxanne sensed Archie’s dejection. She scanned her surroundings with a troubled look on her face. “Archie, can you not see the fireworks?”

Although Archie was crestfallen, he shook his head sensibly. “I can see some of it. It’s all right, Mommy.”

Roxanne was reminded of the anticipatory look on Archie’s petite face when he heard about the fireworks display in the afternoon. At the sight of his thoughtful and acquiescent demeanor at that moment, she could not help feeling pangs of heartache and guilt.

If it weren’t for my selfish decision, perhaps Archie and Benny would live a more blissful life

now.
