Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 83

Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief at how little effort it took.

Having expected to go to further lengths than that for a suitable nanny, she was surprised to find such a promising candidate so easily.

“Come over tomorrow morning,” Roxanne proposed after a brief discussion regarding Lysa’s salary range. “I will draw up the contract by then. You can sign it if everything is in order.”

Lysa nodded in response. After bidding the others farewell, she departed with her tools and left the few of them in the living room once again.

Though Roxanne’s mood improved after the chat with Lysa, her stiff formality returned when she turned to Lucian. “I’m sorry for the trouble of bandaging my wound and finding me a housekeeper. I owe you one.”

A strange glint flitted across Lucian’s deep eyes. He quickly suppressed the arising feeling and responded with a similar detachment, “Don’t mention it. Essie and I were the ones to trouble you in the first place. Consider these trivial matters a token of my gratitude.”Estella nodded in vigorous agreement with her father’s words. She even ran over to grab Roxanne’s wrist and stared at her bandaged finger for a long time.
