Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 100

Roxanne stopped and turned at her shoulder in confusion.

Lucian’s brows were knitted deeply. “It’s four in the morning. You only slept for a while, so I won’t let you drive back home alone. Besides, what will I tell Essie? You promised you wouldn’t leave. If she wakes up and doesn’t see you around, she’ll definitely kick up a fuss and might even run to your house. She’s still weak. What if she gets sick again?”

When she heard that, Roxanne frowned. She didn’t want to stay here after her earlier nightmare.

Nevertheless, she did promise Estella that she would stay the night.

Sensing her dilemma, Lucian scowled and declared, “Don’t worry. Essie only needs you now. In the future, I won’t let her disturb your life if it’s nothing important.”

With that said, he released his grip on her.

Roxanne found his words strange, for it felt as though he was mocking her for no reason. An uneasy feeling rose in her heart.

Estella rolled over as though she had sensed Roxanne’s departure. The little girl patted the empty bed and whined softly.Hearing that, they both turned to look at her.
