Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 527

It was dimly lit below the stage.

Lucian could feel the children smiling beside him. Feeling curious, he gazed in their direction. The three children were whispering to each other about who-knows-what with secretive looks on their faces. Every so often, they would cover their mouths to muffle out their soft giggles.

From beside them, Roxanne was looking at the children with a gentle smile on her face.

It was quite a tender moment.

However, the moment her eyes met Lucian's, her loving smile turned stiff ever so slightly.

Roxanne lowered her gaze and composed herself before turning her face away so that Lucian could only see her side profile.

Lucian's gaze darkened. With his brows knitted tightly together, he, too, turned his gaze away.

They were the last ones to perform.

When the second-last performance was about to come to an end, Lucian and Roxanne directed the children backstage and got ready to perform.

They had thought the children would feel at least a little nervous, as it was their first time performing in front of an audience.

Unexpectedly, the three children were buzzing with excitement. A huge grin hung on their faces as their eyes shone in delight, much to Roxanne's relief.

After the host introduced them, Roxanne led the children onstage.

The first few scenes were flawless. Everything was exactly as they had rehearsed. As they carried out the scene, the children showed no signs of stage fright. In fact, they were far more confident than all the other children.

Roxanne could even hear the audible gasps of the audience.

When it was Estella's turn, the crowd erupted with applause the moment her childish voice rang out as she recited her first line.

Everyone was aware of Estella's condition. She was even known as Little Mute in the outside world. At that moment, when they heard Estella speak so fluently with their own ears, they were both surprised and overjoyed.

Likewise, the memory of her first encounter with Estella surfaced in Roxanne's mind. She recalled how shy Estella had been when they first met and how the former would not even say a single word.
