Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 78

In the past, it had always been the three of them—Roxanne, Archie, Benny—having meals together, occasionally with Madilyn joining in.

However, it was a first for them to have their meal with Lucian.

At that moment, various emotions rose in Archie's and Benny's hearts.

Lucian stopped in his tracks and turned around to meet Estella's glistening eyes. He then shifted his gaze to the seat beside them, which had utensils placed on the table near it. His eyes immediately glinted with emotion.

As the matter of fact, the four of them were indeed a family.

It would seem odd if he were to sit

there.

Though that thought passed through his mind, he had already taken his seat by the table before even realizing it.

For some reason, the atmosphere that was originally jolly had become tense. He could not help but wonder if he was the reason for the change.

Archie and Benny fell silent and lowered their heads to eat their food.

Since the boys were not talking to her anymore, Estella lost her appetite. She held her utensils and took tiny bites out of her food.

“Essie, is there something you dislike?” Roxanne asked gently, noticing the change in her behavior.

Hearing that, Estella hurriedly shook her head.

She liked everything Roxanne made.

She just wasn't in the mood to eat.

Benny knew Estella could not talk. Thus, he put down his utensils and answered on her behalf, “Essie is just like us. She doesn't like carrots and peppers. She always picks these out in the kindergarten.”

Roxanne smiled kindly. “I'll help you pick them out, okay?”

A smile reappeared on Estella's face, and she nodded obediently.

Seeing her response, Roxanne walked over to Estella, picked out the carrots and peppers from the latter's plate, and placed them on her own. She then watched Estella picking up her spoon again.

Just as Estella was about to continue eating, something tugged the back of her hand, which made her tear up in pain. She stopped moving her arm, lifted her head, and looked at Roxanne pitifully for help.

Noticing the expression on Estella's face, Roxanne put down her utensils right away. “What's wrong?”
