Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105 Estella Was Slapped

On the way to the kindergarten, Estella sat in the backseat while hugging her backpack with her gaze lowered, looking a little upset.

Aubree was also determined to win the little girl over. At least, they had to appear close on the outside.

Looking at Estella’s state through the rearview mirror, she pretended to ask in concern, “Are you not feeling well, Essie? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?”

Estella did not even lift her head upon hearing her voice.

Aubree frowned and continued to express concern in a sweet voice, “How about I excuse you from school, and we head back to rest for the day?”Despite those words, she still received no reply.

After waiting for a while, Aubree grew impatient. “I’m asking you a question, Estella Farwell. What’s with that expression? I can’t even have a decent conversation with you?”

Hearing her displeased tone, Estella shuddered and hugged her backpack tighter.

Upon noticing Estella’s visible resistance to her and recalling Sonya’s words the night before regarding the reason Lucian was unwilling to marry her, Aubree grew angrier the more she thought about it.

If it weren’t for this little brat’s attitude toward me, would Roxanne have any reason to be by Lucian’s side now? I also won’t have to feel on edge because Roxanne is back in the country!

After thinking for a while, Aubree drove the car to the side of the road in displeasure and slammed on the brakes.

Aubree grew angrier at her lack of response. She pulled Estella onto her lap and slapped the little girl’s bottom without holding back. “Stupid mute. Do you truly think that I would appease you if it wasn’t for the sake of being with Lucian? Disrespectful creature. It’s one thing not repaying me, but daring to show affection toward Roxanne, that b*tch? Such an ungrateful child! Let me tell you this. You have to accept my marriage to your dad no matter what! Otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens next.”

The crisp slaps echoed within the car alongside Aubree’s vicious cursing.

Despite her reddened eyes and tears threatening to roll out, Estella stubbornly bit her lip, unwilling to cry in front of the wicked woman.

“You’re still being stubborn!” Upon seeing that the little girl remained silent, Aubree pinched her inner thigh mercilessly. “Let’s see how much you can tolerate!”

Estella kicked her leg in pain as tears flowed out uncontrollably. While crying silently, she tried to get off the woman’s lap by struggling hard.
