Leaving The Country After Divorce Chapter 712


    Chapter 712 Exceptional Acting Skills


    Lucian, who was standing on thending, frowned imperceptibly upon hearing


    that. He turned around and looked at Roxanne by the bedroom door in


    puzzlement.


    Roxanne had her eyes lowered and her brows knitted together slightly as


    though regretting her offer earlier. Clocking that, Lucian smirked cryptically. “You


    don’t need to force yourself, Ms. Jarvis. I won’t change my mind because of a


    meal.”


    After he had said that, he tilted his head at her. Then, he spun on his heel and


    headed down the stairs again.


    Roxanne lifted her eyes when she heard movement. Sighing inwardly, she


    repeated, “Let’s have dinner together. Essie would definitely be sad if you were


    to leave.”


    That remark was meant for both Lucian and herself. Since he mentioned her


    past self six years ago, she couldn’t help recalling how she felt when she left six


    years ago at the sight of his lonely figure.


    Although her pain then was courtesy of him, she was still soft-hearted and didn’t


    want others to experience the same sorrow she did at that time.


    Hearing her offer, Lucian paused in his tracks. The look in his eyes darkened as


    his heart clenched painfully. He could surmise the reason she was allowing him


    to stay, and precisely because of that, he hated his past self more than he

    already did.


    “I’ll consider your feelings for me in all seriousness. But I hope that you can give


    me a bit more time.” Roxanne relented once more.


    When Lucian turned around to face her, his expression had already reverted to


    its usual indifference. “Thank you.” Roxanne shed him a smile as mixed


    feelings surged within her heart. Subsequently, the two of them went


    downstairs, one after another.


    Downstairs, the children were ying with Legos distractedly. As soon as they


    heard movement from upstairs, they instantly sprang to their feet and sprinted to


    thending. They gazed at Lucian and Roxanne eagerly, curious to know the


    progress of their conversation.


    Failing to perceive anything even after a while, Benny snapped and asked


    candidly, “Are you mad, Mommy?”


    Roxanne stilled for a few seconds. As the children’s actions earlier urred to


    her, she queried in return, “Did you guys do it on purpose?”


    The children’s expressions stiffened for a heartbeat when they heard her


    question.


    Fortunately, they all had exceptional acting skills. Their expressions quickly


    turned innocent, and they regarded their mother in perplexity. “Did we do


    something wrong?”


    “Did I bump into you by ident just now? I’m sorry, Mommy. I was just too


    Roxanne eyed them suspiciously for several seconds before frowning in


    exasperation.


    Oh well, they’re all smarter than thest. Even if they had really done


    something, I might not necessarily be able to tell. Besides, they’re all looking as


    innocent as ever that I can’t even bear to doubt them.


    Hence, she had no choice but to put away her suspicions. Patting them on the


    head, she assured softly, “I’m not mad. I’m just a bit tired.”


    The children skeptically shifted their gazes to Lucian at the side.


    Lucian nodded at them flippantly.


    The children finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the two adults must


    have made up.


    In the blink of an eye, smiles bloomed on their faces once more.


    Lucian and Roxanne yed with them for a while longer. This time, the kids


    didn’t dare have any tricks up their sleeves, but they still enjoyed themselves


    immensely.


    When evening fell, Roxanne corralled the trio who were ying madly and had


    them help her prepare dinner together.


    Naturally, the children were all more than d to do so.
