Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 982

Chapter 982 Estella Was Worried

The next few days, Roxanne did not send the children or pick them up because of her work. Like the previous time, the boys would come back and hint to her about how upset Estella was to not see her.

Although Roxanne’s heart ached whenever she heard that, she said nothing about it. One night, as usual, the children waited for their parents to pick them up after school

Estella stared at the two boys. Without even needing her to say anything, the boys knew what she was going to say. Her question would be none other than when their mother was going to come.

Estella’s continuous stares throughout the past few days could burn a hole in their faces at this rate. However, they could not do anything if their mother did not give them her permission.

Not long after, Lysa appeared in the line for parents. Estella looked away in disappointment. Archie and Benny did not leave immediately. They waited until Lucian’s car appeared before leaving with Lysa.

“Daddy,” Estella miserably called out as she watched her father come closer to her. Lucian was slow, and as he walked to her, he swept his gaze around Estella.

Seemingly knowing what her father was looking for, Estella mumbled, “Ms. Lane has picked up Archie and Benny.”

Lucian stopped looking around and stood before the girl, saying nothing else as he took her hand.

After greeting Pippa, Lucian brought Estella into the car.

Although it was normal for Lucian to hold Estella’s hand, there was something strange about it this time. “Daddy, your hand feels hot.”

Lucian furrowed his brows and silently let go of her before walking behind her instead.

Estella did not dwell on that, and she climbed into the car.

Lucian started the car engine.

“Daddy, let’s go to play with Archie and Benny,” came Estella’s voice a moment later.

Lucian only frowned and replied, “Ms. Jarvis is busy lately. Let’s wait for her to be done with work first.”

That was what Roxanne had told him after all.
