Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 981

Chapter 981 Keep That In Mind

Just as the call ended and before Roxanne could recollect herself, someone knocked on the bedroom door. “Mommy!” When she opened the door, she was greeted by two lively boys.

The boys had been waiting in their room for the entire afternoon, but their mother never came out to call them. Thus, they came out themselves.

Suppressing the strange feelings in her chest, Roxanne forced a smile at the two boys. Nevertheless, Archie and Benny were sensitive to her emotions, and they instantly figured out that she looked upset.

Benny carefully tugged the hem of his mother’s shirt and asked, “Mommy, what’s wrong?” At the same time, Archie was quietly watching her from the side, seemingly trying to decipher something by studying her face.

Roxanne put on a nonchalant smile and said, “It’s nothing. I just had a nightmare earlier.” Hearing that, Benny shared a look with his brother.

It was clear that both boys did not believe her. Roxanne could see their suspicions, but there was nothing she could do about that.

She could never notice when the boys were putting on an act, but the boys could always figure out right away if anything happened to her.

“Is it because of Grandma?” Archie asked, cocking his head to the side. Even though Mommy didn’t show it earlier, Grandma’s words were indeed quite hurtful.

The way the boy called Sonya made Roxanne freeze for a moment. Grandma. Yes, that’s the way the boys should call Sonya if they know about their history. If not for me trying to keep things under wrap, Sonya would not have said such cruel words to the boys.

Roxanne gazed at Archie and Benny with an apologetic look. “Didn’t Mommy say not to take Grandma’s words to heart? All we need is for Essie to like us.”

Archie carefully held his mother’s finger and shook it.

Also, once Mommy gets back together with Daddy, Grandma’s impression of us will surely change. But I don’t think we’ll like her as much.
