Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 1072 Play Along

At noon, Roxanne had just finished preparing lunch when the doorbell rang. After two warnings from Jack that morning, Roxanne and the kids were now immune to the sound of the doorbell even though they knew it was most probably Lucian this time.

Roxanne set the table for the kids before she went to answer the door. As expected, Lucian was waiting outside. Roxanne opened the door, and he gave her a curt nod. “Where is Essie? I’m here to bring her home.”

He looked in the direction of the living room. When the children realized Lucian was here, they held their breaths and strained to listen to the faint sounds of his movements outside the door.

Upon hearing Estella’s name, the boys simultaneously turned their heads in her direction. Estella puffed her cheeks and met their eyes reluctantly.

According to their plan, she would have to follow Lucian back and try to convince him while the boys would be responsible for changing Roxanne’s mind.

That way, Lucian and Roxanne could make peace with one another soon. It was time to leave, but Estella couldn’t bear to part with Roxanne and the boys.

The little girl was feeling hesitant when Roxanne’s voice rang out. “Are you in a hurry? If you’re not, you’re welcome to join us for lunch.”
