Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76

At first, Roxanne was stunned by Estella’s actions. But after that, her heart ached for the latter. She instinctively lowered herself and pulled Estella into her embrace, patting her on the back.

Estella tugged at the hem of Roxanne’s clothes, sobbing uncontrollably.

A look of helplessness flashed past Lucian’s eyes as he watched the scene before him.

When we were at home a while ago, all Estella did was avoid me. Now that Roxanne’s here, this girl actually reached out without hesitation to ask for a hug. Are children naturally dependent on their mothers?

“Okay. Stop crying. Can you tell me what’s wrong?” Roxanne consoled Estella, feeling worried.

Naturally, Estella did not know how to speak.

Finally, Lucian cleared his throat and said nonchalantly, “She went to kindergarten today and did not see your boys, so she thought they stopped going. She went home and cried the entire night, asking to come here to confirm their reason for absence.”.Roxanne sighed inwardly upon hearing that. This little girl is really clingy to my boys, eh?

Realizing that, Roxanne said in a softer tone, “There, there. Don’t cry. The boys were having an upset stomach today, so I helped them to apply for a leave of absence. They’ll be going back to school to play with you tomorrow.”

When she heard Roxanne saying the same words as Lucian, Estella finally believed it. Slowly, she stopped sobbing and removed herself from Roxanne’s embrace. And carefully, she peeped into the house, wanting to see the two boys.

However, it was impossible to view the dining room from the entrance. When she did not see the twins, she started feeling uneasy again.

Roxanne noticed Estella’s cautious looks, and her heart melted. Patting Estella’s head, she asked, “Do you want to play with them? I can take you to them.”

With that, she smiled and carried Estella. Just as she was about to walk into the house, Estella

suddenly leaned back.

It was at that moment Roxanne recalled that the man was still standing at the door.
