Leaving The Country After Divorce Chapter 249 Chapter 249 After dinner, Roxanne and Colby went
separate ways, returning to their own homes.When Roxanne arrived home.Lysa had fetched the two
kids back.They were ying with Legos on the carpet.Archive and Benny immediately surrounded
Roxanne when they saw her enter. Roxanne patted their heads and asked concernedly, “Have you two
taken your meals?”They nodded obediently and blinked their eyes at her.“Mommy, Ms.Ward said she’s
bringing us to nt trees this weekend.” Roxanne was slightly taken aback at the mention of that
matter.She gazed downward and beamed at her children.“Yes. I know that.” With that, she pretended to
be nonchnt and entered the living room.Archie and Benny trailed behind their mother and followed
her to the side of the carpet.She crouched down and fiddled with the partially-built Lego pieces as a
conflicted look spread across her face.She pondered the whole journey on her way back.In the end,
she was left with the same conclusion.She might run into Lucian or Aubree if she participated in the
activity.That was such a coincidence.All the while, she had been racking her brains, thinking of ways to
avoid Lucian and Aubree.Yet, the kindergarten decided to host an activity at that time.“Mommy, will you
go with us?” The two kids gazed at Roxanne in anticipation.That was their first time joining such a
group activity.The idea sounded very interesting to Archie and Benny.Catching sight of their hopeful,
gleaming eyes, Roxanne hesitated and could not bring herself to refuse them directly.She merely said,
‘Til ask Aunt Madilyn to apany you two.Will that be all right?” That was the only way she could
think of.Hearing their mother’s words, Archie and Benny were obviously a little disappointed.“Do you
not want to go with us, Mommy?” Roxanne’s heart softened slightly.“No, it’s not that. It’s just… I have to
work overtime during the weekend. I’m afraid I do not have the time to apany you two.”Archie and
Benny stared at her forsome time.Roxanne did not know if they figured out she was lying.-Meeting their
eyes, she felt guilty and sorry.That was the first time the kids participated in a group activity involving
the students’ parents since they started school, so the event was supposedto be memorable and
significant.Undoubtedly, Archie and Benny wished Roxanne could go with them.However, she could not
tell them she was avoiding Lucian and Aubree.After all, that was a matter between the adults.“Okay.” A
few momentster, Archie and Benny nodded in disappointment.Roxanne let out a sigh of reliefContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
inwardly before taking out her phone to call Madilyn.Thetter picked up only after a long
while.“Roxanne, what’s the matter? Is there a problem?” Madilyn sounded exhausted.Roxanne
frowned.She asked in concern, “Are you still busy?” Madilyn heaved a long sigh and uttered weakly, “I
don’twant to talk about that.A severely ill patient was just admitted here, and the patient requires close
monitoring around the clock.I doubt I’ll have any time to spare this weekend.” Upon hearing that,
Roxanne swallowed her unspokenwords to request Madilyn’s help.“In that case, I’ll stop bothering
you. You should prioritize the patient. Everything is fine on my end. It’s just that the kids are missing
you.” Madilyn smiled.“Okay. Tell them I’ll go over and y with them another day.”They did not chat for
long and hung upthe call soon after.Roxanne looked up at Archie ‘and Benny beside her and sighed
softly.“Aunt Madilyn is busy. I’ll apany you two this weekend.” She could not forbid the kids to join
the activitysimply because Lucian and Aubree might be there.Archie and Benny exchanged
nces.Overjoyed, they hugged Roxanne’s arms and cheered affectionately, “You’re the best,
Mommy!” Roxanne smiled without saying a word.She felt heavy-hearted at the thought of the inevitable
meeting on the weekend.
