Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1449

In the end, Lucian called Jeffrey and requested a week's leave for the children.

With that out of the way, the three adults took the three children on a trip to Miralaea.

Just as Jeffrey hung up the phone, a gentle-looking teacher entered the room.

“You're here, Ms. Smith,” he greeted. “You understand the situation about the class, yes? Mr. Farwell's children are in it, and the assistant teacher is on leave. I'm worried Ms. Ward won't be able to manage the class alone, so you'll be helping her out for now.”

Smiling, Ophelia Smith nodded. “I understand, Mr. Bauer. You don't need to worry a thing.”

Jeffrey scrutinized her and thought she looked pretty gentle. “I'm leaving them in your hands, so don't mess things up.”

“Should I greet them now?”

“They've just started their one-week leave. Once they've returned, Ms. Ward will introduce them to you.”

When Ophelia heard that, the look in her eyes imperceptibly darkened for just a moment. “I see. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now.”

Jeffrey told her a couple more things before allowing her to leave.

The instant she stepped out of the office, her smile was replaced with a glower.
