Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 769 Still Need To Check Her Over

When Estella heard her father’s remark, her eyes flickered, and she retracted her hands. I’m already feeling horrible, so I don’t want Ms. Jarvis to suffer as well.

Roxanne was inevitably stunned for a few seconds, surprised that Lucian was purely concerned about her. Oh God, I misunderstood him…

Pursing her lips, she smiled and looked at Estella reassuringly. “It’s okay. Come here and let me hug you.” While saying that, she held her arms out to the little girl to carry her into the house.

She could tell that Estella was scared to death then and yearned for her embrace. Alas, her outstretched arms grasped empty air once more.

Estella wriggled into her father’s embrace, dodging Roxanne’s outstretched arms. She then shook her head at the latter. “Daddy will carry me in.”

Roxanne’s heart promptly melted, knowing that Estella was afraid she would be infected. In the end, she relented and followed them into the living room.

“Place her in my room,” she offered gently upon noticing the man faltering in his tracks.
