Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 39

When Roxanne walked out of the room, she lowered her voice and spoke to the children. “I'm still treating a patient right now, so I'll be back much later. Go play with Aunt Madilyn first.”

The children were used to her returning home late, so they agreed.

Concurrently, inside the room, Lucian's expression was so cold that it was reaching the freezing point.

Rage was boiling in his heart.

Estella's attempt to reach Roxanne's hand and the “Mommy” he heard on the phone kept echoing in his mind.

No wonder she acts so coldly toward Estella. It turns out she had already married someone else and given birth to new children! That's why she abandoned Estella back then!

He stared at his daughter, who was still standing in her original spot.

Despite her obvious disappointment, she still stared at the door, waiting for Roxanne to return.

Watching her like that made his heart ache.

So what if she has returned? She still doesn't want to take care of her child!

The look on Lucian's face was terrifyingly dark as he approached Estella and carried her into his arms.

The girl stared at him with confusion and tugged his collar, indicating that she didn't want to be carried.

Of course, he didn't notice it as he coldly announced, “It's getting late, so I'll be taking Essie back home now. If Old Mr. Queen wakes up, give me a call. I'll stop by another day.”

Before Jonathan could reply, he left with Estella.

Roxanne had just ended her call and was about to head back in.

When she arrived at the doorway, she saw Lucian walking out expressionlessly.
