Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 550

Chapter 550

Roxanne was about to bring the two boys up upon arriving back at the hotel when she felt a pair of resentful eyes on her back.

Frowning, Roxanne glanced behind her and saw Estella hesitantly shuffling after her three paces behind

The child stopped in her tracks when she noticed her quarry had turned her head. Her little face was alight with anticipation.

Not far away, Lucian pretended not to see them as he busied himself with pouring a glass of water from the bar.

Roxanne walked toward the child. “Do you want to sleep with me, Essie?”

The child nodded vigorously before asking cautiously, “Is that okay?”

Roxanne‘s heart softened at the child‘s tentativeness. “Go ask your Daddy,” she said softly as she gazed at the man in the vicinity. “If he says yes, I‘ll take you upstairs.”

The child‘s eyes brightened. She strode to Lucian‘s side with her stubby legs, but the man ignored the child‘s approach.

Knowing that her father would agree, Estella tugged the hem of his shirt fearlessly. “Can I sleep with Ms. Jarvis, Daddy?”

It was only then that Lucian lowered his gaze to look at his daughter before looking at Roxanne, who was standing nearby. “Okay,” he said with a slight frown, “but don‘t give Ms. Jarvis any trouble.”

The child nodded obediently before sprinting back to Roxanne with a wide grin. “Daddy said yes!”

Roxanne returned the smile as she caressed the child‘s head, then said to Lucian, “I‘ll take Essie upstairs, then.”

The man nodded casually. “If she‘s beginning to feel like a handful, Ms. Jarvis, you can send her back to me any time.”

Roxanne was taken aback. She wondered why the man was acting so distant all of a sudden.
