    Leaving The Country After Divorce Chapter 258 Chapter 258 The mention of Lucian and Aubree’s


    impending wedding caused Roxanne to lower her gaze. She swallowedthe retort on the tip of her


    tongue and replied to the nasty woman, “Thank you for your advice.I’ll be more mindful in the future.”


    The woman took Roxanne’s meekness as a sign of her victory.She made a mental note to tell Aubree


    about that night’s incident and used it to butter up the future Mrs.Farwell. As that thought crossed her


    mind, the woman stared at Roxanne scornfully and spat, “Good.You would never be a good match for


    Mr.Farwell.” Their conversation hadsted so long that Este began wondering why Roxanne had not


    come searchingfor them.She peeped out from behind a tree and noticed a fierce-looking woman


    standing in front of Roxanne.Este thought the woman was bullying Roxanne and hastily mbered


    toward them.“Don’t bully Ms.Jarvis!” Este yelled aftertching onto Roxanne’s legs.She even shot


    the nasty woman a re for good measure.The young girl’s sudden appearance stunned the woman,


    who quickly smiled and knelt down.She tried to stroke Este’s head and cooed, “Isn’t this Ms.Este?


    You’re such an adorable girl.” Este shied away from strangers because of her autism.When she saw


    the unfamiliar woman trying to touch her head, Este pushed her hand away and stared cautiouslyat


    her.The woman’s expression froze at Este’s rejection.The young girl’s closeness to Roxanne vexed


    her as well.Still, the woman stubbornly tried to approach Este.“Don’t worry, Ms.Este.I mean no


    harm.I just think that you look adorable.” As she spoke, she stretched her hand toward Este once


    more.Panic filled Este’s gaze, and she hid behind Roxanne, wrapping her arms around thetter’s


    leg.Roxanne scrunched her brows in concern and stopped the woman froming closer to


    Este.She said, “Essie’s scared of strangers.If you really like her, it would be much better to keep a


    distance from her.”Este’s repeated rejection and Roxanne’sadvice enraged the woman, who stood


    up and argued, “I’m close to Ms.Pearson, and she’s going to be Essie’s mother soon.My


    rtionship with Essie has nothing to do with you.” Roxanne’s expression shifted when she heard


    Aubree’s nameagain.This woman’s telling the truth.I don’t deserve to interfere in Essie’s rtionships,


    but Essie seems truly frightened by this stranger.She’s shaking so much even as she hugs my leg.With


    that in mind, Roxanne said, “Since your daughter and Essie are in the same ss, you should knowAll text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    about Essie’s condition.She doesn’t like it when strangers touch her.Thank you for your earlier advice,


    but if there’s nothing else, please take your leave.Essie’s still a bit shaken.” After that, Roxanne


    tenderly pulled the frightened girl into her arms.Upset and scared, Este red at the unfamiliar


    woman behind Roxanne with tears in her eyes.Naturally, the woman ignored Roxanne’s words.With a


    hostile expression on her face, she was about to say something more when footsteps approached


    them.Lucian’s cold baritone soon followed.“What happened to Essie?” When she saw her father,


    Este ran toward him and hugged him tightly,wailing, “Thatdy doesn’t like Ms.Jarvis.”Lucian frowned


    slightly.He had nned on following Roxanne and the children but was unfortunately held up by idle


    chitchat with some parents along theway.He never expected toe across Este crying when he


    finally arrived.Lucian quickly deduced that “thedy” his daughter mentioned was the unfamiliar woman


    standing in front of Roxanne.
