Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77

Lucian, who was standing at the entrance of the dining room, looked conflicted when he saw Estella finally smiling,

It took me so long to coax hcr, yet it was nothing compared to the trio’s words. Not only did she stop crying. she even smiled.

After standing there for some time and watching the boys making Estella grin from ear to car, he stepped into the room, wanting to take her home.

They had only come over because Estella wanted to confirm things with her own eyes. Now that it was done, it was time for them to go home.

As soon as he reached Estella’s side, he heard her stomach growl.

Roxanne frowned. “Have you not had dinner?”

Estella pursed her lips and nodded.

Seeing that, Roxanne turned to look at Lucien with a reprimanding gaze.

Lucian glanced at her emotionlessly. “I’ve tried talking to her. She’s been crying all night. She locked herself in the room as soon as she got back without eating or drinking anything. It was only when I promised to bring her here that she finally stopped. We didn’t manage to have dinner yet.”Roxanne scanned his thin shirt and withdrew her gaze.

At the side, Archie looked at Estella concernedly. “We’ve just started eating. Do you want to join us?”

Estella’s eyes lit up, and she nodded fervently. It was at that moment that she finally remembered to ask her father for permission

Lucian hesitated for a few seconds and glanced at Roxanne. “If it’s not too much of a trouble, could you prepare something for her?”

“Do you want to sit between the boys?” Roxanne suggested.

Estella beamed instantly.

Archie and Benny quickly moved their chairs, making some space so Estella could sit between them.

Lucian frowned as he watched Estella sit between the twins.

From his point of view, they looked like a family, while he looked more like a stranger.
