Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 899

Chapter 899 Threw Herself Into Her Arms

“I’ll go and pick Archie and Benny up.” An indeterminate time passed before Roxanne lowered her eyes and murmured that in feigned calmness.

She really had no idea how to face the man in front of her, so she could only pretend as though nothing had happened earlier.

At the sight of her blasé look, Lucian quirked his lips, deliberately baring the wound at the corner of his mouth.

Out of her peripheral vision, Roxanne glimpsed the corner of the man’s mouth. Her expression turned awkward.

Lucian proceeded to dab at the corner of his mouth. By then, his gaze had already cooled. In a deep voice, he offered, “I’ll bring you upstairs.”

Argh! I was again irritated by her just now and lost hold of my self-control for a moment. And now, she has aversion etched across her features.

Fury and annoyance simmered within him, but in the end, they all turned into indifference.

Reaching a tacit consensus, neither of them mentioned a single word about the incident just now.

Lucian spun on his heel and headed upstairs. Similarly, Roxanne followed behind him without a word.

Neither said anything until they arrived in front of Estella’s bedroom door.

In the room, the three children had gotten somewhat tired from playing and were sitting in a circle, munching on snacks.

“I need to go downstairs to prepare dinner.”

Catalina felt exceedingly gratified after watching them play the entire afternoon. Since it was almost time for dinner, she planned to go downstairs.

Upon hearing that, Archie and Benny exchanged a glance. They both felt a touch perplexed.

Why isn’t Mommy here yet when a long time has passed? Don’t tell me she hasn’t realized that we’re at Daddy’s place! If she didn’t look at the GPS position, she must be in a total panic right now!

While unease haunted them, Catalina turned around and opened the room door. At once, she caught sight of the two people standing by the door.

“Mr. Farwell.” Then, she shifted her gaze to the woman beside Lucian. A pause ensued before she greeted, “Ms. Jarvis.”
