Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 260

By the time Lucian, Roxanne, and the children returned to their rooms, it was already nine at night.

Archie and Benny were dripping in sweat from playing hide-and-seek earlier.

Roxanne quickly ushered the boys into the bathroom to shower them once they got back.

Their playful chatter drifted out of the bathroom from time to time.

From where she sat on the bed, Estella stared at the bathroom door enviously.

Ms. Jarvis always gave me a bath when I stayed at her house. After Daddy brought me home, only Ms. Catalina gave me baths. Ms. Jarvis was so gentle when she gave me a bath, and her shampoo smells so good!

Meanwhile, Lucian stared at his daughter's expectant expression with conflicting emotions.

Estella was far too dependent on Roxanne.

Or is it because the bond between a daughter and her mother is simply too powerful?

Amid his musings, Roxanne led the boys out of the bathroom. Archie and Benny's hair were still wet as they scuffled with each other.

Roxanne grabbed a hairdryer and prepared to blow-dry the boys' hair.

Suddenly, Lucian asked, "Ms. Jarvis, if it's not too much trouble, could you help Essie with her bath?"

Roxanne stiffened in surprise.

Estella stared at her expectantly and pleaded, "Please, Ms. Jarvis!"

Lucian explained softly, "I'm a man, and it's not appropriate for me to give Essie a bath. I hope you can do me this favor, Ms. Jarvis."

Alas, Roxanne's heart softened when she saw the expression on Estella's face, and she relented.

Her gaze soon landed on her two sons and their dripping wet hair.

"Give me a moment. Let me dry their hair."
