His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne)

Chapter 260

Leaving The Country After Divorce chapter 260Chapter 260 By the time Lucian, Roxanne, and the

children returned to their rooms, it was alreadynine at night. Archie and Benny were dripping in sweat

from playing hide-and-seek earlier.Roxanne quickly ushered the boys into the bathroom to shower

them once they got back.Their playful chatter drifted out of the bathroom from time to time.From where

she sat on the bed, Estella stared at the bathroom door enviously. Ms.Jarvis always gave me a bath

when I stayed at her house.After Daddy brought me home, only Ms.Catalina gave me baths.Ms.Jarvis

was so gentle when she gave me a bath, and her shampoo smells so good! Meanwhile, Lucianstared

at his daughter’s expectant expression with conflicting emotions.Estella was far too dependent on

Roxanne.Or is it because the bond between a daughter and her mother is simply too powerful? Amid

his musings, Roxanne led the boys out of thebathroom.Archie and Benny’s hair were still wet as they

scuffled with each other.Roxanne grabbed a hairdryer and prepared to blow-dry the boys’

hair.Suddenly, Lucian asked, “Ms.Jarvis, if it’s not too much trouble, could you help Essie with her

bath?” Roxanne stiffenedin surprise.Estella stared at her expectantly and pleaded, “Please, Ms.Jarvis!”

Lucian explained softly, “I’m a man, and it’s not appropriate for me to give Essie a bath.I hope you can

do me this favor, Ms.Jarvis.” Alas, Roxanne’s heart softened when she saw the expression on Estel las

face, and she relented.Her gaze soon landed on her two sons and their dripping wet hair.“Give me a Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

moment.Let me dry their hair.” As she spoke, Roxanne switched on the hairdryer, ready to drythe boys’

hair.A large hand reached out beside her and took the hairdryer from her.Roxanne looked to the

side.She did not know when Lucian had walked over to her.you don’t mind, Ms.Jarvis, I can help you

with that instead.Essie sweated a lot earlier, and I’m worried she’ll catch a cold if she doesn’t bathe

soon.” Lucianexplained while approaching Archie and Benny with the hairdryer.The boys fell silent at

the same time when they realized Lucian was drying their hairfor them.Benny turned his attention to his

fingers, resisting the urge to look back at his father.Archie, on the other hand, sat stiff as a board, his

eyes looking straight forward.Roxanne had been worried that the boys would be wary of Lucian but

their obedience relieved her.Then, she did not say a word and led Estel la into the bathroom.Estella

was a ball of excitement during her bath now that she got her wish.Her antics reminded Roxanne of the

baths she had given Estel la during the young girl’s stay in her home.She sighed inwardly when she

remembered why Lucian had eventually taken Estella away.The unpleasant incident in the botanical

garden was the final nail in the coffin.No matter how much Estella appeared to rely on Roxanne, the

young girl would eventually become Aubree’s daughter.Roxanne could not allow Lucian to spend more

time with her because of Estella.After Estella’s bath, Roxanne came out of the bathroom to the sight of

Archie and Benny fiddling with alaptop on the bed, their hair already dry.Roxanne left them to their

devices and began blow-drying Estella’s hair.Lucian scrutinized Roxanne’s expression, noticing that

she appeared more somber than before she entered the bathroom.Evidently, she had no plans of

talking to him.That conclusion caused Lucian to frown.However, he did not force her to explain herself

but stood quietly by the window.Instantly, the atmosphere in the room grew tense.
