Chapter 260


    Leaving The Country After Divorce chapter 260Chapter 260 By the time Lucian, Roxanne, and the


    children returned to their rooms, it was alreadynine at night. Archie and Benny were dripping in sweat


    from ying hide-and-seek earlier.Roxanne quickly ushered the boys into the bathroom to shower


    them once they got back.Their yful chatter drifted out of the bathroom from time to time.From where


    she sat on the bed, Este stared at the bathroom door enviously. Ms.Jarvis always gave me a bath


    when I stayed at her house.After Daddy brought me home, only Ms.Catalina gave me baths.Ms.Jarvis


    was so gentle when she gave me a bath, and her shampoo smells so good! Meanwhile, Lucianstared


    at his daughter’s expectant expression with conflicting emotions.Este was far too dependent on


    Roxanne.Or is it because the bond between a daughter and her mother is simply too powerful? Amid


    his musings, Roxanne led the boys out of thebathroom.Archie and Benny’s hair were still wet as they


    scuffled with each other.Roxanne grabbed a hairdryer and prepared to blow-dry the boys’


    hair.Suddenly, Lucian asked, “Ms.Jarvis, if it’s not too much trouble, could you help Essie with her


    bath?” Roxanne stiffenedin surprise.Este stared at her expectantly and pleaded, “Please, Ms.Jarvis!”


    Lucian exined softly, “I’m a man, and it’s not appropriate for me to give Essie a bath.I hope you can


    do me this favor, Ms.Jarvis.” s, Roxanne’s heart softened when she saw the expression on Estels


    face, and she relented.Her gaze soonnded on her two sons and their dripping wet hair.“Give me a


    moment.Let me dry their hair.” As she spoke, Roxanne switched on the hairdryer, ready to drythe boys’


    hair.Arge hand reached out beside her and took the hairdryer from her.Roxanne looked to the


    side.She did not know when Lucian had walked over to her.you don’t mind, Ms.Jarvis, I can help you


    with that instead.Essie sweated a lot earlier, and I’m worried she’ll catch a cold if she doesn’t bathe


    soon.” Lucianexined while approaching Archie and Benny with the hairdryer.The boys fell silent at


    the same time when they realized Lucian was drying their hairfor them.Benny turned his attention to his


    fingers, resisting the urge to look back at his father.Archie, on the other hand, sat stiff as a board, his


    eyes looking straight forward.Roxanne had been worried that the boys would be wary of Lucian but


    their obedience relieved her.Then, she did not say a word and led Estel into the bathroom.Este


    was a ball of excitement during her bath now that she got her wish.Her antics reminded Roxanne of the


    baths she had given Estel during the young girl’s stay in her home.She sighed inwardly when she


    remembered why Lucian had eventually taken Este away.The unpleasant incident in the botanical


    garden was the final nail in the coffin.No matter how much Este appeared to rely on Roxanne, the


    young girl would eventually be Aubree’s daughter.Roxanne could not allow Lucian to spend more


    time with her because of Este.After Este’s bath, Roxanne came out of the bathroom to the sight of


    Archie and Benny fiddling with ptop on the bed, their hair already dry.Roxanne left them to their


    devices and began blow-drying Este’s hair.Lucian scrutinized Roxanne’s expression, noticing that


    she appeared more somber than before she entered the bathroom.Evidently, she had no ns of


    talking to him.That conclusion caused Lucian to frown.However, he did not force her to exin herself


    but stood quietly by the window.Instantly, the atmosphere in the room grew tense.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
