Jonathan gave Lucian a few more ideas. and they both parted ways after realizing it was getting late. Lucian’s gaze darkened when he exited the restaurant and glanced at the tickets. Although he could tell that Roxanne was slightly moved, he still had his doubts.
She didn’t even accept my flowers. If I invite her to a concert, she’ll surely reject me. What if I get Essie to ask her out? That might work. Roxanne has never said no to Essie.
Holding that thought, Lucian quickly drove back to the Farwell residence. When he got home, Estella had just finished her dinner, and she was scribbling away as she sprawled on the table. Catalina was sitting right beside her.
“Mr. Farwell,” Catalina greeted politely when she saw Lucian walking in. After that, she stood up and let him take the seat next to Estella.
Estella simply raised her head to glance at the entrance and greeted in her piping voice, “Daddy.”
Then she lowered her head to continue drawing. Ever since Roxanne got injured, Estellat had only visited her once. Hence, her mood was getting worse by the day.
She was rather moody that day because Archie and Benny had told her that Roxanne had recovered, and she had gone to the research institute.
Estella had thought that Roxanne would go to the kindergarten to fetch Archie and Benny. However, she was disappointed when she saw Lysa picking. them up.
“Ms. Estella has been rather moody ever since she got home,” Catalina said when.
Lucian was walking over to them. Lucian merely nodded and told Catalina that she could leave. In fact, he noticed how moody Estella was the moment he got home. Only Roxanne can make Essie so emotional.
Lucian quietly went up to Estella and sat next to her. He lowered his head to see Estella scribbling on a piece of paper. I seems that she doesn’t even know what she wants to draw! Otherwise, why would she keep rubbing off the drawing after drawing two lines?
Right then, Estella put down the pencil angrily and turned to Lucian. “Daddy!”
“Yes?” Lucian met her eyes.
“Are you done with your work?” Estella asked with a straight face. Lucian had told her he would bring her to visit Roxanne once he was done with his work.
Lucian frowned and answered, “I am, but Before he could finish his sentence, Estella interrupted, “Bring me to see Ms. Jarvis, then!”
“Now is not the time.” Lucian patted her head. Estella pursed her lips in annoyance. “I haven’t seen Ms. Jarvis for so long!”
“Essie, do you want Ms. Jarvis to be your mommy?”
Estella was stunned when she heard that. When she regained her senses, her eyes lit up, and she asked, “Daddy, are you serious?”
Lucian nodded. “Have I ever lied to you?”
Estella tilted her head in puzzlement and thought about it for a bit. After that, she smiled and shook her head. Daddy has never lied to me! But….
Estella looked at Lucian in bafflement. and asked, “Are you not marrying Ms. Pearson, Daddy?”
Although Estella had never liked Aubree, she knew about the marriage contract. Lucian had with the latter. Besides, ever since she could remember things, she could remember Aubree putting on an act whenever Lucian was present.
