Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 780

Chapter 780 Tag Along

After the examination, Roxanne stood up and asked Lucian to leave, not giving him any more opportunity to speak to the kids.

“Since it’s already morning, you should hurry up and bring Essie home, Mr. Farwell. You should thoroughly sanitize your house and do it as soon as possible.”

There was no room left to object to her suggestion. Lucian raised his brows while wearing an indifferent expression. Then, he gazed downward at Estella.

She pouted in reluctance. “You can go back on your own, Daddy.” Estella was still feeling a little insecure after having just recovered from the sudden and severe illness last night.

She thought she could spend more time playing with Roxanne, Archie, and Benny that day, but unexpectedly, Roxanne appeared anxious to chase her away right after she woke up.

Lucian and Roxanne frowned at the same time after hearing Estella’s words. However, the thoughts that flashed across their minds were entirely different.

Before last night, she would have allowed Estella to stay at her place without hesitation.

Yet, after her conversation with Lucian the night before, Roxanne had to consider Estella’s biological mother.

In her opinion, Estella was overly-attached to her because the little girl could acquire motherly affection from her. Having said that, Roxanne knew she was not Estella’s mother after all. I cannot let Essie continue to think of me as her mother because sooner or later, her real mother will return.

On the other hand, Lucian was displeased because he sensed Roxanne’s hesitation.

“Essie…” Roxanne opened her mouth and only managed to call out Estella’s name as she did not know how to refuse the little girl.
