Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Lucian was taken aback by the two little boys’ angry reaction and knitted his brows.

They outright reprimanded him, yet somehow, he felt sorry for Archie and Benny. He was even overwhelmed by a pang of guilt.

Roxanne, who was carrying Estella in her arms, was dumbfounded when she heard what her two boys said. She, too, felt a prickly pain in her heart.

Thank God they don’t know the man standing before them is their biological father. They might be even more upset if they knew the truth…

After keeping quiet for a while, Lucian looked away apologetically. “I’m sorry, but I don’t see you two as bad guys. I feel it’s inappropriate for your mommy to be in contact with her ex-husband. Your daddy might get upset if he finds out about it.”

Roxanne and the two boys froze for a moment when they heard that.

Archie and Benny exchanged glances. Oh, right! Daddy doesn’t know our relationship with him yet!

Benny spoke his mind. “It’s okay! We don’t have a daddy!”

The remarks the two boys made kept rendering Roxanne nonplussed. She wanted to stop her youngest son from spilling the tea, but it was too late.

She could only anxiously wait for Lucian’s response.

The man’s eyes narrowed with suspicion. There’s something fishy about the things he said and the pictures.

“What do you mean by you don’t have a daddy? Where’s he?” Lucian could not help but ask.

Benny looked at the confused man and explained, “Daddy didn’t want us anymore. He abandoned Mommy, and he didn’t like us. We grew up living with Mommy, so we have not seen our daddy before.”

Upon hearing that, Lucian frowned and gazed into Roxanne’s eyes. His eyes flickered with complicated emotions.

So all these years, this woman raised these two kids single-handedly?
