Leaving The Country After Divorce (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 Please Let My Children Go

Roxanne picked her kids up after walking out of the office.

“I’m still a little busy, so why don’t I get Aunt Madilyn to accompany you two for a bit?” Roxanne suppressed her anger and asked the two kids with a smile.

The two of them didn’t think too much of it and nodded obediently, assuming she was busy with work.

Roxanne handed them over to her best friend and returned to the car, her expression souring once again. She immediately drove off to the Farwell residence.

“Hello, Ms. Jarvis,” Catalina greeted. She was about to say more when she noticed the look on Roxanne’s face, causing her to swallow her words.

Roxanne nodded at her briefly and turned to the living room. “Is Lucian here? I’d like to speak to him.”

Catalina nodded quickly. “Yes, he is. I’ll go upstairs and call him.”Soon after, she came downstairs with Lucian following behind her and Estella tottering down behind both of them.

Lucian still didn’t trust Estella with his parents and had waited at the kindergarten gates before they opened so that he could pick her up early.

Estella’s mood had clearly improved since she didn’t need to see that mean woman. Now that she saw that Roxanne was here, her gaze was simply sparkling with admiration, and she ran toward her with her arms out.

Roxanne’s heart softened momentarily at the sight of the child, and she caressed her head. “I have something to talk to your daddy about. Go over there and play on your own for a little, alright?”

Estella nodded and began playing with her doll on the carpet next to the couch.

Lucian frowned. “What do you want?”

Roxanne’s long-suppressed anger exploded at the sound of his voice. “Lucian, if you have a problem with me, then take it out on me. Why are you doing this to Archie and Benny? What did they ever do to you? They’ve always been so respectful of you, and they took such good care of your daughter. You have no reason to bully two kids, even on behalf of Estella.”

She scoffed at herself with that thought in mind.

She thought that Lucian and she had been on decent terms recently. Even though they hadn’t become best friends overnight or anything, they were still courteous with each other and had seemed to leave everything behind them.

Disappointingly, those feelings had been completely one-sided on her part. Apparently Lucian still only saw her as a menace.

Lucian’s heart clenched at the sight of the person in front of him acting all stubborn but still letting how wronged she was feeling show through.

He actually felt at a loss for words.

He even began to feel bad about even bringing the matter up to the head of kindergarten.
