Leaving The Country After Divorce (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 706

Chapter 706 Secretly Took One Of Her Flowers

Downstairs, Lucian, too, noticed the children making their way down. They were

about to say something when Lucian looked up at Estella and said impassively,

“Come down, Essie. We should be heading home.”

Upon hearing that, the children were taken aback. Estella widened her eyes in

confusion. “Daddy…”

I’ve already promised Ms. Jarvis I’d stay and have dinner tonight. What does

Daddy mean by this? Even if he and Ms. Jarvis got into an argument, he

shouldn’t take me home. After all, he told me he wanted me to help him woo

her. If I leave as well, how will that get Ms. Jarvis to stop being mad?

Nonetheless, Lucian was unmoved. “Ms. Jarvis has other matters to attend to,

and we don’t know whether there will be any other guests tonight. It’s better if

we don’t get in her way.”

Having said that, he took two strides in the direction of the staircase and

stretched out a hand toward Estella. Estella pursed her lips and hid behind the

two older boys. “No! I want to have dinner with Ms. Jarvis!”

Archie and Benny quickly shielded Estella behind them. “Mr. Farwell, we don’t

have any other guests tonight, so you and Essie can stay.”

Lucian furrowed his brows. Knowing that the boys were not his children, he had

no choice but to soften his tone a few notches as he replied, “If you like Essie so

much, you can play together at the kindergarten. But she has to go back with

me now.”

Archie and Benny looked at each other anxiously, knowing that he was angry

because Roxanne had brought home that bouquet. However, they did not know

what to do. They had wanted to explain everything clearly to him. If they were to

move aside then, he would surely take Essie and leave.
