Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 800

Chapter 800 Their Motive

Madilyn fell speechless when she heard that. What? I have to go to work early tomorrow? It wasn’t until she noticed Archie and Benny winking at her that she understood what they were playing at.

“As much as I would love to stay and look after Roxanne, the workload at the hospital has been pretty crazy lately. Would you be able to look after her for me, Mr. Farwell? If not, I’ll have no choice but to take a day off tomorrow,” she said with a sigh.

Feeling satisfied that Madilyn was playing along, the kids shifted their gaze back to Lucian and waited for his reply.

Since he had intended to stay and look after Roxanne all along, he simply met their expectant gazes and nodded in response.

This is a little strange, though… I remember Archie and Benny being mad at me for a really long time when I casually mentioned their biological father. I thought they’d hate me very much, and yet, they’ve been helping me win Roxanne back lately. In fact, they’re putting in as much effort as Estella. With my daughter, things are a lot simpler. All she wants is for Roxanne to be her mother. With Archie and Benny, on the other hand, I have no idea why they’re doing this. People might think they like me very much and want me to be their father, but I have a feeling it’s more than that. I think it’s because they care about Estella and want to become her family. As a result, they’d rather have me be their father than put up with some random stranger.

Madilyn was about to leave but got a little worried when she saw Lucian just standing there with Roxanne in his arms.

“You should help her to her room,” she reminded him. Honestly, I’m starting to question if leaving her with him is the right thing to do…

Hearing her voice snapped Lucian out of his train of thought. He then nodded at her and carried Roxanne up the stairs.
