Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 887

Chapter 887 Is Essie Okay
Thinking of that, the boys felt sorry for Estella.
“Alas, Daddy doesn’t allow us to visit her,” Benny grumbled in a piping voice.
Yet, his brother refuted almost immediately, “No. It’s not that he doesn’t allow us to see her.”
Benny looked at his brother in puzzlement upon hearing that.
After glancing in the direction of the kitchen, Archie expounded dejectedly, “Daddy just doesn’t want Mommy to visit Essie.”
His words left Benny stunned for a moment. As realization dawned on the latter, his expression instantly changed.
I wonder what happened to Daddy and Mommy. Is he still angry about what happened yesterday? But that’s just a trivial matter… Even Essie has forgiven Mommy.
Meanwhile, Roxanne, who was in the kitchen, felt uneasy as well.
Earlier, when she was on the phone with Lucian, she overheard the sound of Estella’s sobs.

Estella was wailing miserably, and Roxanne even heard the little one uttering her name.
At that moment, Roxanne was racked with guilt and full of remorse for the decision she had made.
If I had known this beforehand, I would’ve rushed to her and stayed by her side. I wouldn’t even hesitate. Alas, I didn’t know Lucian would stop me from seeing Essie. She matters more to me than anything else in the world. Those medicines are nothing compared to her…
“Mommy, what’s that smell?” Archie and Benny asked as they walked toward Roxanne.
The boys were puzzled to detect a strange smell in the air.
As the unpleasant smell seemed to be wafting from a pot, the boys stood on their tiptoes to take a look.
However, they were too short to look into the pot.
As the boys’ voices pulled Roxanne out of her stupor, she lowered her gaze to check the ingredients in the pot.
Unfortunately, everything in the pot was fully blackened and burnt. Even the air was permeated with the odor of burnt food.
Gosh! I’ve been thinking about Essie all this while and forgotten that I’m cooking!
Roxanne hurriedly turned off the stove. She looked apologetic as she looked downward at Archie and Benny. “Sorry, Mommy was lost in thought, and the food got burned. We shall head out for lunch.”
After that, she turned around and took off her apron.
Eventually, the three of them went to a restaurant nearby their house.
As the trio was still worried about Estella, they did not have much appetite. They had something light for lunch and returned home right after.
“Mommy, are you tired?” Archie and Benny asked as they noticed how absent-minded their mother was.
“Why don’t you go upstairs to get some rest?” one of the boys suggested with great concern.
