Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 1218

needles will scare the kids.”Roxanne immediately explained with her instincts, “They won’t. Archie and Benny are used to it.”Sometimes, the two boys would even help with the disinfection and cleaning.To them, the needles used for acupuncture were actually no different from the forks used for dining.Lucian’s gaze darkened. “But Essie will be scared. They already got freaked out by the way you looked yesterday.”Roxanne was promptly taken aback. She almost forgot that Estella was around too.Noticing how Lucian’s face clouded over, Roxanne cast her eyes downward apologetically. “I’m sorry. I forgot about that.”Lucian frowned. “I don’t mean it that way.

Yet, he still chose to stay by her side to give her support and reliance.Roxanne’s resolve began to waver.While she performed acupuncture on herself earlier, she was contemplating if she wanted to clarify things.Nonetheless, when Lucian finally woke up, she backed out and did not even dare to spare him a glance.She had reacted that way because she feared she had read too much into things.Of course, after what happened last night, she knew she should not avoid Lucian and Estella again like in the past, even if she did so out of gratitude
