Leaving The Country After Divorce Chapter 709

Chapter 709 Red Light

The game began with Roxanne and Lucian in the middle and the boys on either side. “Green light… Red

light!” Estella waited for them to take a few steps before suddenly spinning around.

Although the others stopped in their tracks at once, the two little ones lost their balance and swayed about for a

little bit before steadying themselves.

Fortunately, all Estella wanted was for them to all play together. Hence, she did not take issue with it and quickly

turned back. When the game resumed, Roxanne could not help wondering whether the boys’ excitement was

causing them to veer toward the center.

She glanced at Archie, who was next to her, helplessly. However, all his attention was on Estella standing right in the

center. It seemed as though he was straying in that direction solely because he was eager to tag Estella.

Seeing that, Roxanne sighed inwardly and moved toward the center to make room for him.

Meanwhile, Lucian, too, noticed the same thing with Benny. He seems to be behaving oddly, but I can’t quite put my

finger on it. After all, if he’s so eager to win the game, it’ll make more sense for him to walk forward. Instead, he’s

walking sideways like a crab and keeps running into me.

Although Lucian had no idea what Benny was up to, the former still subconsciously took a few steps toward the

center to make way for the latter.

Just as Lucian and Roxanne were preoccupied with staying out of the boys’ way, Estella suddenly swung around and

called out, “Red light!”

Archie happened to take a step at the same time Estella shouted. Losing his balance, he staggered a little.

Roxanne frowned, worried there would not be enough space for Archie to regain his balance. Not even bothering to

think about whether she would get eliminated from the game, she carefully inched further toward the center to

leave him more space.

However, she stepped on something as she shifted aside, catching her by surprise. Roxanne froze, then looked

down immediately to see what it was.

As for Lucian, he had also gotten similarly tricked. He moved inward to let Benny pass, but right after steadying

himself, he felt someone step on his foot.

When Lucian lowered his head, he saw Roxanne retracting her leg while looking somewhat embarrassed. With

Archie taking up all the space on her other side, however, she had nowhere to lower that foot after doing so.

For a moment, all she could do was stand on one leg awkwardly. She gazed at Estella with a helpless expression,

desperately wishing the latter would quickly turn back around.

If she doesn’t, I really don’t think I can keep standing like this. Estella seemed to have read her mind. Her eyes

crinkled as she smiled and turned around slowly.



Roxanne was about to put her foot down when she heard Estella’s voice ring out again. “Green light… Red

light!” Startled, Roxanne could not find anywhere to stand. Her body swayed on the spot before toppling forward.

Archie, Benny, and Estella watched the scene nervously. They were afraid she would really take a fall. At the same

time, they were worried that Lucian would miss out on the opportunity.

As she was panicking, Roxanne reached out, wanting to grab something to steady herself. However, as soon as she

reached out, she remembered they had deliberately chosen to play in an empty space. Hence, there was nothing

for her to hold on to.

She was about to withdraw her hand when a large hand grabbed hers firmly. Immediately after that, she felt herself

getting pulled into a pair of strong arms. When the children saw Lucian’s swift and natural reaction, they could not

help exclaiming, “Wow!”
