Leaving The Country After Divorce Chapter 758

Chapter 758 Impasse



Noticing that the two did not enter the room even after some time, the three children couldn’t resist coming

outside to check. As soon as they reached the door, they felt the tension between the two adults.

“Mommy?” Benny tugged at Roxanne’s clothes cautiously and asked with concern, “Did you get into a fight with Mr.

Farwell?”

His voice brought Roxanne back to her senses. She composed herself and gave him a faint smile. “No. We just have

a disagreement on some things.”

After saying that, she threw Lucian a look in hopes that he would keep his composure in front of the

children. Fortunately, Lucian cared about the kids enough to soften his expression.

He looked down at Estella and said, “Essie, it’s late. It’s time to go home.” Sensing the chilling aura around her

father, Estella pouted and shook her head. “No.”

Lucian knitted his brows. Before he could say anything, Estella announced, “I want to be with Ms. Jarvis! I don’t want

to go home!” She had already made up her mind while she was playing with Archie and Benny earlier.

Since Ms. Jarvis, Archie, and Benny can’t stay in our house, I can stay here with them instead! I don’t want to go

home and see scary Ms. Pearson. Plus, Daddy looks scary now too. That means he won’t spend much time with me

when we’re home.

Estella’s resistance to going home intensified further when she realized that. Upon hearing Estella’s words, Lucian

raised his head and looked at the woman before him. The anger in him had yet to dissipate.

Although he knew that Roxanne was the biological mother of his daughter, she had never expressed the intention

to return to his house. However, it was clear that Estella liked Roxanne very much. If Roxanne finds out the truth in

the future, will she think that I’m being too cruel to Essie?

Roxanne felt somehow puzzled when she felt Lucian’s gaze on her. Nevertheless, she didn’t dare to think too deeply

nor ask him about it. Lowering her eyes, she caressed Estella’s head. “Essie, be good. It’s getting late already. Hurry

and go home with your daddy.”

In truth, she also wanted Estella to stay, but Lucian clearly had no intention to let the girl do so. She was in no

position to make that request either.

When Estella heard Roxanne urging her to go home, she looked up at the latter dejectedly. Roxanne felt her heart

ache at Estella’s pitiful face. She glanced at Lucian, only to see his unchanging cold expression.

Because of that, she found it even more difficult to speak up and ask him to let Estella stay.

Estella turned to Roxanne and then to Lucian. In her frustration, she stomped her feet, ran back to the living room,

and sat on the floor behind the couch. She seemed determined to stay there unless Lucian forcefully dragged her



away.

Looking at Estella’s grumpy figure, Roxanne felt at a loss. She looked at Lucian again, this time with a gentler

countenance. Since Lucian was still angry, there was no way he would allow Estella to hang out with her. He simply

remained rooted to his spot.

With that, the father and daughter reached an impasse. Roxanne sighed inwardly and decided to approach Estella

and comfort her first. Since she couldn’t persuade the adult, who was currently mad at her, she could only make an

effort on the little one.
