His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne)

Chapter 257

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 plants 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 Estella‘s hand and have the girl follow Lucian home.Alas, 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 play 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 planned to search for the boys with

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

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

Archie and Benny to take care of Estella 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 la’s childish voice drifted out from behind a

tree.“Ready!”Roxanne could not help but laugh.Although Estella’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 a lavishly 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 Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

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

glare 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 relationship 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 unsavory comments.I just didn’t think it would come so soon.“You must be

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

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

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

hope you don’t humiliate yourself in this hopeless scheme to win Mr.
