Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709 Red Light

The game began with Roxanne and Lucian in the middle and the boys on either side. “Green light… Red light!” Estella waited for them to take a few steps before suddenly spinning around.

Although the others stopped in their tracks at once, the two little ones lost their balance and swayed about for a little bit before steadying themselves.

Fortunately, all Estella wanted was for them to all play together. Hence, she did not take issue with it and quickly turned back. When the game resumed, Roxanne could not help wondering whether the boys’ excitement was causing them to veer toward the center.

She glanced at Archie, who was next to her, helplessly. However, all his attention was on Estella standing right in the center. It seemed as though he was straying in that direction solely because he was eager to tag Estella.

Seeing that, Roxanne sighed inwardly and moved toward the center to make room for him.

Meanwhile, Lucian, too, noticed the same thing with Benny. He seems to be behaving oddly, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. After all, if he’s so eager to win the game, it’ll make more sense for him to walk forward. Instead, he’s walking sideways like a crab and keeps running into me.

Although Lucian had no idea what Benny was up to, the former still subconsciously took a few steps toward the center to make way for the latter.

Just as Lucian and Roxanne were preoccupied with staying out of the boys’ way, Estella suddenly swung around and called out, “Red light!”

Archie happened to take a step at the same time Estella shouted. Losing his balance, he staggered a little.
