Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 722

Meanwhile, Roxanne had delegated Madilyn to pick the children up to Madilyn as she promptly headed to the meeting.

No sooner had she stepped out the door than she saw Jack’s car at the entrance.

At the sight of her, he alighted from the car and took a look behind her. Feeling slightly disappointed, he inquired, “Are the children still at school?”

Roxanne nodded. “I got a friend of mine to pick them up. Is there a reason why you want to see them, Mr. Damaris?”

Jack casually nodded. “I’ve brought them some gifts. But since they’re not around, let’s just forget it. I’ll personally hand them over the next time I see the boys.”

The fact that he had prepared presents for them surprised Roxanne, for she didn’t expect him to be so attentive.

“Since you have gotten them the presents, it’s only right you hand them to the boys yourself.” Roxanne pursed her lips into a smile upon regaining her senses.

With that, she turned around and headed toward her car.

She had barely taken a step when Jack’s voice rang out from behind her.

“I think you shouldn’t drive, as it’ll be hard to avoid drinking tonight. If you drive there, you’ll just end up having to collect your car tomorrow.”

His words caused Roxanne to stop as a conflicted expression emerged on her face.

She still remembered the tantrum Jessica had thrown when she got drunk because Jack was too close to her.

Therefore, if Jessica were to see her arrive in Jack’s car, the former would change her mind at the last minute even if her desire to apologize was sincere.

Cognizant of her concerns, Jack reassured her, “What happened the last time was my fault. That said, since there’s nothing going on between the two of us, you shouldn’t overthink the matter. If she repeats her accusations from the other day, I’ll clear the air.”
