His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne)

Chapter 259

Leaving The Country After Divorce chapter 259Chapter 259 The woman who had accosted Roxanne

earlier quickly tamped down her rage when she saw Lucian. She sputtered, “Mr. Farwell.”Lucian

nodded coollyat her before approaching Roxanne.Softly, he asked, “What happened?” Roxanne’s gaze

swept over the contrite woman.She thought of their conversation earlier and decided not to cause more

trouble by telling thetruth. Instead, Roxanne shook her head and said, “Nothing.She came to say hi, but

Essie doesn’t like strangers, so she was scared.”After hearing herwords, Lucian stared at the unfamiliar

woman suspiciously and commented, “Essie isn’t usually this timid.” His imposing demeanor unsettled

the woman, who lowered her head guiltily and replied, “I just thought Ms.Estella looked adorable and

wanted to stroke her hair.I didn’t think I would scare her.Please accept my deepest apologies.” Lucian

stared at the young girl in his arms, who was pouting silently while staring straight atRoxanne.Things

obviously were not as simple as the woman had described.It was also clear that Roxanne would not tell

him the truth.As he thought of how Roxanne was keeping her distance from him, Lucian’s displeasure

grew, and it showed in his darkening gaze.He declared coldly, “I thought the parents of Essie’s

classmates should know about her condition.Since you seem utterly clueless, I hope you stay away

from my daughter for the nexttwo days.Don’t frighten her again.” The woman bit her lip in NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

resentment.She wanted to use the next two days to grow closer to Lucian and Estella, building a good

relationship with the Farwell family.Lucian’s hostile words had put a swift end to her plan.Nonetheless,

she dared not voice her objections before a frosty-looking Lucian.Instead, she promised to heed his

words before leaving with her child in tow.Estella sniffled as the nasty woman departed.She broke free

from her father’s arms and walked toward Roxanne, grabbing the latter’s skirt.Recalling how Estella

had rushed forward to protect her earlier, Roxanne was moved, and she stroked the young girl’s head

fondly.Then, she held Estella’s hand and asked, “I still don’t know where the boys are.Let’s look for

them together, okay?” Estella’s eyes lit up when she realized that they could still play hide-and-

seek.She nodded her head in excitement, which brought a smile to Roxanne’s face.Roxanne led

Estella around the botanical garden to look for her sons.Archie and Benny had been raised overseas,

and thanks to Roxanne’s busy lifestyle, the boys had grown up with a lot of freedom.Thus, they were

more daring compared to most children their age and had run off to a much further place to

hide.However, Roxanne was not worried because she knew they would take care of their

safety.Meanwhile, Lucian trailed Roxanne and Estella.His gaze softened as he watched the two

walking hand-in-hand.“Archie! Benny!” Estella called out as she walked.It reminded Roxanne of how

Estella had replied to her question earlier, and she could not help but smile at the child’s

cuteness.Suddenly, Estella tugged on Roxanne’s hand and said, “Over here!”Roxanne followed Estella

through a complicated route and was surprised to see the boys hiding behind amanmade hill.“How did

you know Archie and Benny were hiding here, Essie?” asked a surprised Roxanne.The boys always

hid in the most creative places, and Roxanne had always struggled to find them during their hide-and

seek sessions.She never imagined Estella would find them so easily.Estella tilted her head and replied,

“I don’t know.It was a guess.” Roxanne did not think much of Estella’s response and promptly believed

her.
