Chapter 107 – The Abandoned Wife: Leaving the Country After Divorce Novel

Filed to story: Leaving the Country After Divorce Novel (Lucian & Roxanne)

Roxanne jolted in alarm and froze in her movement but still instinctively looked in the direction of the passenger scat.

After getting a good look at the person’s face, the scowl on her face deepened. “What are you doing. Mr. Farwell?”

Devoid of expression, Lucian shut the car door. “Nothing. My car has broken down. And coincidentally, I happened to see you here. Please drive me back, Ms. Jarvis.”

The chilling aura surrounding his body was almost palpable.

Well aware how the atmosphere would only become tenser if she continued probing, Roxanne ultimately staried the engine without uttering another word.

Throughout the ride, the car was dead silent.

Lucian locked his deep gaze on the woman next to him, his brows tightly knitted together. She’s

o close with that dude… And they even met up just now. The way they interacted carlier inade it sem like they are a couple…

At this point, Lucian could no longer hold his curiosity back and broke the silence. “That guy… Is he Archie and Benny’s father?”

Roxanne was instantly stumped, unable to believe what she had heard. I wonder how did he get to that conclusion?

Her reaction made Lucian’s frown deepen as he asked again, “It’s him?”

When she finally recovered from her trance, Roxanne replied in annoyance, “You’re overthinking things.”

However, the man’s tone remained displeased. “Then are you intending to let him become Archie and Benny’s father?”

Roxanne was even more dumbfounded. “I’m not. It’s true that I’m close to Larry, but please don’t make such baseless assumptions, Mr. Farwell. That will cause unnecessary trouble for others.”

Lucian stared at her with a scrutinizing gaze, and his grave expression lightened up a little. “If that’s the case, you might want to be considerate of your children and perhaps keep your distance from other men, Ms. Jarvis.”

In truth, Roxanne had found the man a little weird since he got into the car earlier. At this point, even the words he said made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

Hmm… why does he sound like he’s being sarcastic and trying to imply something?

Their brief conversation had already left Roxanne feeling annoyed, and her patience ran out after she heard his last sentence. “Mr. Farwell, what rights do you have to say that? Do you think you’re doing fine in that aspect?”

Lucian cognized the irony in her statement and furrowed his brows slightly.

Roxanne gradually stopped her car and turned her gaze toward the man beside her. “Before you poke your nose into someone else’s business, please mind yourself first, Mr. Farwell!”

“What did I do wrongly?” Lucian’s face turned even grimmer

The cars in the front started moving again, so Roxanne lifted her leg from the brakes and set her eyes on the road.

Everything felt even more ironic when she recalled Lucian’s expression. “Aren’t you engaged to Ms. Pearson? Don’t you feel that it’s inappropriate to be so close to me because of Essie?”

Besides, he doesn’t even know who Essie’s biological mother is.

The more she dwelled on the matter, the more outrageous she thought he was.

How dare he nag me?

Lucian didn’t expect her to bring Estella up, so he looked a little conflicted and replied ambiguously, “That’s not the same thing.”

After all, Estella was her daughter.

She sneered, “What’s different? Besides, we have no other connection other than Essie, and we’re not even friends. It’s my right to decide who I wish to be friends with. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t you think you’re being a little too controlling?”

As soon as she said that, the temperature in the car dropped.

Lucian’s expression darkened as he stared into the distance. After that, he didn’t say anything else during the entire trip.

Similarly, Roxanne pursed her lips tightly, and her mind was all over the place while she had the same expression on her face as Lucian.

Both of them stayed silent for the rest of their journey

Seconds later, Lucian got out of the passenger seat too.

“Since Essie’s condition is basically stabilized now, it’s not very appropriate for her to keep staying here. Mr. Farwell, if it’s convenient for you, you should bring her back.” Roxanne had considered it throughout the journey Despite her reluctance to be separated from Estella, Roxanne made that decision in the end.

She was a little tired of the fact that Lucian would go to her house once every few days because Estella was staying with her.

I’ve told him clearly from the beginning when we first met that we’re already strangers, but lately, he kept showing up in front of me and even did that during Old Mr. Queen’s birthday banquet. I’m really confused. What’s our relationship right now, anyway? Besides, it’s obvious that Archie and Benny, especially Benny, have gotten closer to him.

Benny had already taken a liking to him at the beginning. Moreover, the last two times Lucian gave Benny and Archie gifts made them even more fond of him. As such, Roxanne was afraid that Benny would tell Lucian everything about her one day.

With Lucian’s intelligence, he would definitely find out that Archie and Benny were his when the time came.

Roxanne didn’t even dare to think about what would happen after that.

There was still no response from Lucian after some time, so she added, “Besides, it seems that Mrs. Farwell doesn’t want Essie to stay with me…”

She didn’t know why, but she felt that Lucian was staring at her with a strange look in his eyes.

Unbidden, she stopped talking.

Lucian gave Roxanne one last glance before he walked away without saying anything

Roxanne squatted down out of habit, spread her arms, and the three of them jumped in for a hug.

As Roxanne felt the warmth in her arms and took in the sweet scent of the three children, her heart melted instantly. She tightened her hug and pulled thern closer to her as her worries disappeared.

“I‘m sorry. Something came up at night, so I couldn‘t fetch you, Ilave you calon yet?” Roxanne asked gently in concern as she released the three children.

Archie, Benny, and Estella nodded obediently. “Yeah! We‘ve eaten! We have been playing for a long time!”

She secretly sighed with relief when she heard that. After that, she stood up. “What were you playing? Show me.”
