Leaving The Country After Divorce Chapter 655

Chapter 655 I Will Explain To Estella The sound of footsteps could be heard from upstairs the moment she stepped

through the door. “Mommy!” Archie and Benny rushed out of their room, trotted down the stairs, and stopped in

front of her, staring intently at her with odd expressions. Still feeling heavy-hearted, Roxanne had no choice but to

put away her thoughts as she met the boys’ gazes. “What’s wrong?” As soon as she said that, she saw the boys

curiously peering at the door as if searching for something. After a while, they retracted their gazes, looking

disappointed. “What are you two looking for?” Roxanne asked, puzzled. The boys looked up at Roxanne with

disappointment written all over their faces.

“Mommy, is Essie not coming today?” Those words confused Roxanne even more. She could not understand why

they would suddenly bring Estella up. “It’s late. Essie should be sleeping already.” Archie and Benny tilted their

heads in puzzlement. “But wasn’t it Mr. Farwell who sent you home just now? Didn’t Essie tag along?” The boys

were worried about Roxanne when she had not returned at such an hour. Hence, they kept running to the windows

to check for signs of her return. When they caught sight of Roxanne stepping out of Lucian’s car, they hurried

downstairs to greet Estella, thinking the latter would have come along, too. However, by the time they descended

the stairs, Roxanne had already entered the house with no signs of Estella behind her. Roxanne’s expression froze

slightly when she found out the children had seen Lucian sending her home. Worry flashed past her eyes.

I wonder if they noticed the tension between Lucian and me. Did they sense anything weird? Roxanne studied their

expressions for a while. Realizing they were only focused on looking for Estella, the former sighed with relief and

forced a smile. “Mr. Farwell and I met at work. Just like you two, Essie is also waiting for Mr. Farwell at home.” The

children nodded in understanding and started asking Roxanne about her day. Roxanne was so overwhelmed by her

thoughts that she briefly answered the children and urged them to return to their beds before retiring to her room

to wash up. While she was washing up, Lucian’s words during the car ride echoed in her mind. They filled her heart

with complex feelings and even slowed her down in everything she did. By the time she stepped out of the

bathroom, an hour had passed. Suddenly, her phone that was on the table lit up.

Roxanne walked over and saw Larry’s name on her screen. It was at that moment that Roxanne suddenly

remembered she was supposed to inform Larry she had returned home. Her mind was so occupied with Lucian the

moment she came home that she had forgotten all about it. Seeing the screen was still flashing, she quickly

returned Larry’s call. “Roxanne?” Larry’s voice sounded the second the call connected. Roxanne immediately

apologized, using the boys as an excuse, “I’m so sorry, Larry. I was so busy coaxing Archie and Benny that I forgot

to call you.” Larry heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s fine. All that matters is that you’re okay. I was about to give Mr.

Farwell a call if you hadn’t answered your phone just now.” The mention of Lucian triggered a strange feeling in her

heart. Thankfully, Larry did not ask much. He merely asked how she was doing before hanging up.

Roxanne was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the phone screen dim. To her surprise, it soon lit up

again. It was a text from Lucian. It read: If you’re too busy these days and don’t have the time to attend the

concert we agreed upon previously, you can choose not to go. I’ll explain it to Essie. Roxanne’s heart, which had

finally calmed down, was flooded with emotions again after she had read the contextless text.
