Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 1068 Overthinking

“Yes,” Roxanne blurted out. That answer brought a smile to Estella’s face again. However, she still found the sight

of the flowers to be an eyesore.

The boys also detested the flower, so they put it in a corner. “This is taking up space. Let’s put it here first!”

Roxanne was aware of her sons’ intentions, but she didn’t comment on it. Suddenly, the doorbell rang again.

The brothers tensed up as they subconsciously protected Estella behind them. If Mr. Damaris was the one who

pressed the doorbell earlier, then this must be Mr. Farwell! We still haven’t played hide and seek with Essie yet!

Roxanne thought the same, but despite her unwillingness to let Estella leave, she still opened the door. When she

saw the person at the door, she was puzzled. “Mr. Damaris? Why are you back here? Is there anything else?”

Jack smiled helplessly. “I may need to stay at your place for a while because someone punctured my tire with a nail.

It went flat after I drove for a while.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the children somewhat intentionally.

Without hesitation, Roxanne let him in.

Jack wondered out loud, “It’s strange. The tire was fine when I came by in the morning. I don’t know when it was

punctured by a nail.”

Upon detecting his stare, the boys looked back at him confidently. Why is he looking at us? We didn’t do anything! Is

he trying to sow discord between Mommy and us?

A second later, Jack looked away.

Standing behind the boys, Estella hid her hands behind her back guiltily and played with her fingers.

“What are you going to do now, Mr. Damaris? How about I send you back home?” Roxanne suggested.

“No need. I’ve already contacted the towing company. The driver will pick me up once they arrive, so I’ll be staying

here until then.”

“All right,” Roxanne responded, then began talking about work with him once more.

The children kept their eyes on the adults alertly from the side.

Sensing Archie’s and Benny’s gaze, Jack frowned as though he thought of something.

Then he pondered the matter further and realized he might’ve acted too antagonistically toward the two.

Roxanne, perplexed by the strange changes in his expression, asked, “What’s the matter?”

Jack recomposed himself and shook his head with a smile. “It’s nothing. I’m probably overthinking things.”

Despite his words, he was still visibly distracted when they resumed their conversation.

After the driver called Jack, Roxanne sent him out.

The children didn’t follow her.

Before he entered the car, Jack stopped, appearing as though he had something to say.

Roxanne’s heart sank as she waited for him to speak.

“I have something I’m not sure if I should mention.” Jack sounded hesitant.

Roxanne nodded, hinting him to continue.

Jack furrowed his brows. “I want to preface that what I’m about to say doesn’t come from a place of animosity.

However, for some reason, the children seem to have a very hostile attitude toward me. They’re likely the only

people who had access to my car before my tire was punctured.”

Roxanne’s heart dropped violently. I do remember asking the children to play outside in the morning. They could

have sabotaged his car during that period. And he’s right about the children’s antagonism toward him…
