    Leaving The Country After Divorce Chapter 257 Chapter 257 Roxanne thought of leaving right after


    dinner, yet the three children froze in their tracks when they stepped out of the restau rant,utterly


    transfixed by the view outside.She followed their line of sight.The restaurant was located in a botanical


    garden atop a mountain.Naturally, there were fewer manmade structures and artificial lighting around.


    Thus, the primary source of illumination came from the full moon.Filtered through the shade of the


    trees, the moonlight appeared soft and hazy, lending an attractiveglow to the nts in the botanical


    garden.Many adults strolled through the beautiful garden with their children.Benny tugged on


    Roxanne’s hand and pleaded, “Let’s walk through the garden too, Mommy!” Roxanne rarely had the


    chance for a leisurely stroll.The lovely scenery was simply irresistible, and she said to Lucian, “I’m


    taking the kids fora walk in the garden.Why don’t you bring Essie home first, Mr.Farwell?” After that,


    she tried to let go of Este‘s hand and have the girl follow Lucian home.s, the young girl refused to


    let go of Roxanne’s hand.Roxanne had no choice but to bring her along for the stroll.They wandered to


    a deserted part of the garden.Benny grew excited as he surveyed the tall trees around him and


    suggested, “Mommy, let’s y hide- and-seek!”Roxanne smiled and agreed.“All right, but don’t run too


    far away. It’s not safe.”The children nodded obediently.Roxanne nned to search for the boys with


    Este, yet the young girl seemed eager to hide.No one had ever yed hide-and-seek with Este


    before, and her gaze turned expectant as the boys suggested the game.In the end, Roxanne reminded


    Archie and Benny to take care of Este before she closed her eyes and allowed the children to


    hide.“Are you ready? I’m going to look for you!” Roxanne shouted after giving them some seconds to


    hide.The words had barely left her mouth when Estel’s childish voice drifted out from behind a


    tree.“Ready!”Roxanne could not help butugh.Although Este’s reply had given away the children’s


    hiding spot, Roxanne pretended not to know their whereaboutsand put on a good show of looking for


    them.Suddenly, a woman’s voice rang out beside Roxanne.“You must be Archie’s mother, yes?”


    Roxanne lifted her gaze and saw avishly dressed woman before her.The woman held a young girl’s


    hand and shot Roxanne a sly smile.Sensing her visitor was less than kind, Roxanne concealed the


    wariness that swelled in her chest before asking, “I am. You are?” The woman shot her a disdainful


    re before replying, “My identity doesn’t matter.I’m here to remind you of something, Ms.Jarvis.I hope


    you don’t take my advice lightly.” Her words brought a frown to Roxanne’s face.The woman continued,


    “Essie has always been the apple of Mr.Farwell’s eye.Mr.Farwell only holds you in higher regard


    because her daughter is close to you and yoursons.This is an honor for your family.” Her tone turned


    icy as she got to the point.“Ms.Jarvis, I hope you’re mindful of your situation.Don’t assume you have a


    chance of developing a rtionship with Mr.Farwell because of your children’s friendship.Mr.Farwell


    only interacts with you for the sake of his child.Don’t have any ideas about weaseling your way into the


    Farwell family.”Roxanne’s head pounded inadvertently at the woman’swords.tknew running into Lucian


    here was catnip for unsavoryments.I just didn’t think it woulde so soon.“You must be


    mistaken about the situation…” Roxanne tried to exin.s, the woman cut her off disgustedly and


    retorted, “Mistaken? Everyone knows how much time you’re spending with Mr.Farwell these days.Know


    your ce, Ms.Jarvis! Mr. Farwell’s fiancée is Ms. Pearson, and their rtionship is stronger than ever.I


    hope you don’t humiliate yourself in this hopeless scheme to win Mr.From N?velDrama.Org.
