Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 182

The silence lasted for a while, but eventually, Lucian broke it. “As you wish.”

Roxanne nodded and walked up the stairs to get Estella.

All three kids were hanging out in Archie and Benny's room at the time. Everyone was upset, and the atmosphere in the room was grim.

Archie and Benny were playing with their respective robot toys, whereas Estella had buried her head into her plush toy's tummy. All three were immersed in their own worlds.

When they heard the door opening, all three of them unanimously shifted their attention toward the door.

Roxanne softened her stance when she looked into their eyes. However, she later thought about the man waiting downstairs and became resolute again. She said calmly, “Essie, your dad is here to pick you up.”

All three kids were stunned to hear that.

Estella, in particular, bulged her eyes that were shining with confusion while she hugged her plush toy, not moving a muscle.

Roxanne looked down as she repeated stiffly, “Your dad is waiting downstairs, so hurry along now.”

After saying all that, she moved to the side and waited quietly by the door.

“Ms. Jarvis...” murmured Estella. Her voice suggested that she was a little scared and extremely reluctant to leave.

Roxanne forced herself to look away from the kid’s face. She did not dare to say a word because she worried that she would ask the kid to stay the second her lips parted.

It took some time before the kid finally made her way to the door.

Roxanne couldn't help stroking her hair, then held her hand as they walked down the stairs together.

Lucian had already gotten up from the couch by then, and he had one hand in his pocket as he stood in the middle of the living room. It seemed like he was ready to take Estella away as soon as she showed up.

Roxanne held Estella's hand until they were off the last step. After that, she spoke in a sweet voice, “Go on, then.”

Having said that, she let go of Estella's hand.
