Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Must Protect Essie

Lucian followed right behind.

The exit was not difficult to locate. However, Roxanne was lost because she was frightened by the sophisticated gimmicks, causing her to panic.

After calming herself down, she managed to find her way out of the haunted house in a short time.

The sunlight shone on her face, dazzling Roxanne a little.

Lucian, who was right behind Roxanne, couldn’t take his eyes of her.

At this point, both of them had different thoughts running through their minds.

Noticing that the atmosphere was tense, Madilyn pulled Roxanne to a side and whispered softly, “What’s going on? What is he asking for?”

Roxanne snapped back into her senses. She gazed at Lucian, only to notice his anxious and worried look.

The next second, she recalled what Lucian said in the haunted house.It didn’t seem like he was lying.

With that thought in mind, Roxanne started to feel worried about Estella.

Before this, she had always thought that Estella was Lucian and Aubree’s child. After knowing that Aubree was not involved, Roxanne couldn’t help but like Estella even more.

“Nothing, just some personal matters.” Roxanne smiled.

Madilyn, however, was in doubt.

What personal matter did they have to discuss between them anyway? Even baffling was the fact that Lucian came here all the way.

Just as Madilyn wanted to pry further, she realized that Roxanne had already left her and was walking toward Lucian.

Madilyn’s doubts intensified.

Lucian saw Roxanne walking toward him. He furrowed his brow and wanted to continue asking her for help.

Roxanne, nonetheless, spoke first. “Let’s take a stroll.”

Archie and Benny sat quietly beside Roxanne. They listened attentively to Lucian, and their hatred toward him was slowly replaced by heartache.

Estella was about the same age as they were, but she had to endure such horrific grievances in life. Even in kindergarten, she was ostracized by the others.

We must protect Essie!

Cayden was driving at a blazing speed, and they arrived at the manor shortly after.

After getting down from the car, Lucian led Roxanne, Archie, and Benny and rushed toward the second floor of the building.

Meanwhile, James was waiting upstairs. Because of Estella’s resistance, he had to keep his distance while monitoring her, fearing that she would harm herself. Hence, he left the door slightly ajar and silently stood at the entrance.

When he saw the four of them, James had his brows slightly knitted before nodding. “Ms. Jarvis.”

Roxanne nodded in reply, and her attention was focused exclusively on Estella. “Where’s Essie? Let me take a look at her.”

James pointed toward the corner of the room.
