Leaving The Country After Divorce Chapter 248 Chapter 248 Roxanne continued her work at the
research institute the second day after she returned from Bellridge.When she was away for the past
twodays, she asked Colby to help with everything.As a result, he was exhausted.Once they finished
their work that night, Roxanne and Colby walked out together. Colby teased, “Dr.Jarvis, don’t you have
any ns to thank me for helping out during your day off?” Hearingthat, Roxanne chuckled lightly.“Of
course.Let’s have dinner together since we’re both free tonight.” On the contrary, Colby had asked her
out to eat together countless times inthe past, but she always turned him down.Besides, he knew she
only thought of him as a colleague, so he didn’t push heranymore after that.When she brought it up, he
understood that she only suggested it to thank him for his help.Immediately, he agreed.“All right.I’ll take
you up on your offer.” Both of them went to get their cars.After Roxanne got into her car, she sent Lysa
a message, telling thetter to fetchArchie and Benny.Once she had done that, she drove in front of
Colby’s car and led the way.She couldn’t think of a good ce to eat, so she went to the restaurant she
had been to with Larry thest time.Roxanne parked her car after she reached the entrance of the
restaurant.Once Colby arrived, both of them walked into the restaurant.Since they didn’t make a
reservation, it took a while until they managed to order their food.Colby started small talk as they
waited for their food to be served.“I heard you turned Mr.Lynch down during the medical conference
when he wanted to ept you as his student.” She smiled.“Having Professor Lambert as my teacher is
already enough for me.Besides, my research approach differs from that of Mr.Lynch’s, so it’s for the
best.” As both of them chatted about what happened at the medicalconference, Roxanne’s phone
vibrated.She took it out and looked at it.There was a message from the parents’ group chat.Since
Archie and Benny started attending school, Pippa had added her to the group chat.However, the group
had always been quiet, so she wondered what had happened that day.She clicked into the group chat
and saw that it was a message from Pippa.It wrote: Dear parents, the school will hold a tree-nting
welfare activity to allow the kids to experience the fun of nting saplings.It’s going to be an overnight
trip.Feel free to send me a private message if you have any special inquiries.The rest of the messages
were from a few parents.There weren’t any particr inquiries, but most of them asked about the
venue, the time ofdeparture, and what to bring.Pippa answered all of their questions.The trip was on
theing weekend, and the kindergarten would be responsible for arranging the
amodation.Every student had to be apanied by a parent, and they only needed to bring
some daily necessities and a change of clothes.Each student has to be apanied by a parent,
huh…Roxanne thought about Este.I guess Lucian or Aubree will apany her.She didn’t want to
meet either of them.However, if she participated in that activity, they would undoubtedly meet.All the
parents of the students in the kindergarten were wealthy, so they knew who Aubree andLucian
were.Besides, some of them might’ve attended Alfred’s birthday banquet.Thave no idea what the other
parents would say and spread around if I get entangled with Aubree and Lucian during the outing.With
that thought in mind, Roxanne couldn’t help but feel a headacheing.Colby sat in front of her and
asked about the medical conference.However, when he didn’t get any response from her after some
time, he nced at her out of.concern and noticed that she was staring at her phone in a daze.“What’s
wrong?” Colby asked.Slowly, she regained her senses and forcefully suppressed the worry in her
heart.“It’s nothing.It’s just some activity at the kids’ kindergarten,” she replied, shaking her head and
smiling.Seeing that Roxanne had no intention of saying anything else, he didn’t press on.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
