Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 281

Roxanne was about to tell Lucian she could manage to pull herself up when he hugged her even more tightly.

"Don't move. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to climb up." His voice sounded a little hoarse.

Roxanne felt a brief surge of strange emotion in her chest as she listened to his voice. She stayed still afterward and allowed him to carry her out of the hole.

She broke away from his embrace right after they safely escaped the pit.

"Mrs-Ms. Jarvis, you are so kind to Ms. Estella." Cayden could not help but say wistfully.

He had been utterly shocked when he saw Roxanne hugging Estella at the bottom of the pit earlier.

Cayden was already surprised that Roxanne was willing to venture deep into the forest in the middle of the night to search for Estella. Unexpectedly, Roxanne even located

Estella before them in the wilderness.

If it weren't for Roxanne, they wouldn't have known how long they needed to search.

Roxanne pursed her lips and smiled. "This is my obligation."

Lucian gazed at her and piped up, "It's not your fault.”

Roxanne was dazed for a few seconds before she made sense of his words. When she realized that he was comforting her, she did not know how to react.

"Essie ran out in anger after she quarreled with Aubree. I am to be blamed for this matter. Essie is a wilful child. I did not stop Aubree in time and took proper care of Essie," Lucian explained sombrely.

Roxanne felt a little less guilty after listening to him. She pursed her lips and expressed her gratitude to Lucian, "Thank you."

Lucian bent down to pick up the torchlight on the ground and said with all seriousness, "I should thank you instead. Thank you for locating Essie."

If Roxanne had not found Estella first, they might not have been able to discover this pit the latter had fallen into.

They had walked in that direction earlier because they coincidentally noticed the light originating from Roxanne's torchlight.
