Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 2004

Chapter 2004 Had It Coming

Back in the living room, Roxanne was chatting with the children about what their future siblings' names should be.

“If it's a girl, can we call her Dawn? I'm Essie, so I want my little sister to be called Dawnie,” Estella suggested.

Archie and Benny thought the name was too simple and wanted something more meaningful.

“Mommy, Archie and Benny's names are too simple too. Why did you choose those names for them?” Estella asked in puzzlement.

Benny quickly answered, “Isn't it obvious? Mommy gave us names that are easy to remember to make us more memorable to others, the same way as how Daddy left an unforgettable impression on Mommy.”

“That's clearly not the case,” Archie refuted at once. Then, he offered his guess. “Mommy, did you draw inspiration from one of your favorite shows?”

Roxanne was stumped by their questions. I merely felt the names were catchy and genuinely didn't put much thought into them.

Hearing their conversation, Lucian found their discussion about names interesting and chimed in, “Essie's name was chosen by your great-grandfather. He said he wanted you to shine bright like a star.”

“Daddy, what do you think our future siblings' names should be?”

The three children looked at their father expectantly.

Lucian furrowed his brows as a few ideas popped up in his mind. He hesitated, unsure which one was best.

Ultimately, he threw the question back to the children. “How about this? You guys come up with two names each, one for a boy and one for a girl. Once you've decided, we'll have the whole family, including your grandparents, vote on them. Then, we'll adopt the name with the highest votes. What do you think?”

The kids were fond of that fair voting method and agreed with alacrity.
