Leaving The Country After Divorce (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713 The Man Sleeping Soundly

The children weren’t much help in the kitchen, but with them around, Roxanne’s

turbulent emotions slowly subsided. When she came out after cooking dinner,

she immediately spotted Lucian sitting on the couch.

He seemed to be rather tired, for he had already dozed off while they were

preparing dinner. His head tipped slightly to the side, and he half-leaned against

the couch. Even while asleep, he was still as elegant as ever.

Seeing that, Roxanne instinctively gentled her movements to not make too

much noise and made a shushing gesture at the children.

The children followed her gaze. The instant they laid eyes on the sleeping man,

a glimmer of bemusement flashed across Archie and Benny’s faces.

Daddy would usually settle work matters whenever he was free. But today, he

actually fell asleep. Has he been too exhausted from work recently?

The brothers looked at Estella in confusion. When Estella’s eyes fell on the man

asleep on the couch, the smile on her face gradually faded. Her eyes brimmed

with worry.

Meeting the boys’ gazes, she explained softly, “Daddy hasn’t been sleeping well

these days. He keeps having insomnia, but he has a lot of work during the day.

So, things have been pretty bad.”

While Lucian had never mentioned that to her, she overheard his conversation

with Catalina. Learning that her father had been having trouble sleeping, she

had been exceedingly worried.

Subsequently, she seemingly remembered something. She whirled around and

gazed at Roxanne expectantly. Roxanne was a tad puzzled upon noticing her

gaze.

“Aren’t you an impressive doctor, Ms. Jarvis? Can you please help Daddy?”

Estella cautiously grasped the hem of the woman’s shirt. The worried look on

the girl’s face made Roxanne’s heart ache.

If he’s suffering from insomnia due to physical reasons, it’s indeed a piece of

look on their faces. “Go and play first. I can’t concentrate with you all eyeballing

me.”

Despite feeling somewhat reluctant, the children still went to the backyard

docilely, thinking that it was indeed inappropriate for them to be a hindrance at

the side while she was treating Lucian.

Roxanne sighed with relief as she watched the kids leave. Considering her level

of expertise, she didn’t really need to concentrate if she was merely treating

insomnia.

In truth, she just didn’t want them to see her having any physical contact with

the man. With them looking on, she couldn’t help remembering her various

intimate interactions with him previously.

Only when the children had gone so far that their voices couldn’t be heard

anymore did she stroll over to the couch and look down at the man who was still

sleeping soundly
