Chapter 925 Coaxing Roxanne
On the way to the Farwell residence, Estella puffed up her cheeks as she sat in the backseat. She stared at her father through the rearview mirror.
“Daddy, did you make Ms. Jarvis angry again?” Lucian frowned slightly when he heard Estella’s soft and adorable voice.
Estella caught on to the change in Lucian’s expression and knew that she had guessed correctly. She snorted angrily.
She had thought that Lucian wanted to bring her to meet Roxanne. However, it turned out he had gone to create trouble for Roxanne instead.
“I won’t listen to you anymore, Daddy!” Estella said gloomily. Lucian’s frown deepened. He patiently explained, “It’s because of work.”
It’s this excuse again! Estella looked at the rearview mirror unhappily and said, “You only know how to lie to little kids, Daddy.”
Lucian’s eye twitched in anger when he heard that. Estella continued listing out her grievances. “You also said that to me the previous time! Earlier tonight, you tricked me into bringing you to Ms. Jarvis too…”
However, when we arrived at Ms. Jarvis’ house, you secretly made her angry! Estella vowed that she would never believe her father again.
Taking advantage of the pause in traffic due to the red traffic light, Lucian raised a hand to massage his temples which were throbbing with pain. “I’m telling the truth. There’s no need for me to lie to you.”
“When we were eating, Ms. Jarvis’ mood wasn’t that bad! She only became like this after talking to you, Daddy!”
Estella’s claim appeared to be reasonable and substantiated with evidence.
Lucian was unable to refute her. He could only remain silent even though he felt a little exasperated.
Strictly speaking, it was Roxanne who found something to be unhappy about. Yet, unaware of the truth, Estella placed the blame on him.
Essie…
Estella frowned in an attempt to look fierce. “Daddy, you promised that you would let Ms. Jarvis become my mommy!”
Lucian remained silent.
“If things continue like this, when will Ms. Jarvis become my mommy?” Estella’s voice was full of worry.
Lucian’s expression softened when he heard her words. “I’m also thinking of a plan, but this isn’t a choice I can make alone.”
Roxanne was on her guard against him. That made him frustrated, but he could not do anything to change the situation.
No matter how he tried to explain, Roxanne was unwilling to listen to him.
Estella was also somewhat frustrated with her father.
He promised that he’ll try to be with Ms. Jarvis, but he always makes her angry. If this continues, when can Ms. Jarvis become part of our family?
The little girl grew a little anxious when she thought about it.
“You can’t continue being like this, Daddy!”
Lucian frowned and kept quiet.
The matter was not something that he could decide by himself.
Without waiting for a reply, Estella said with a pitiful expression on her face, “Daddy, you have to coax Ms. Jarvis.”
Since Daddy didn’t allow me to coax Ms. Jarvis earlier, he has to do it himself!
Lucian frowned again as he found Estella’s demand unreasonable.
It’s Roxanne who found fault with me in the first place. How can I coax her? What if the more I try to coax her, the more she thinks that I have ulterior motives?
As Lucian thought about it, he grew gloomier.
Estella could sense the change in his mood, and a wronged expression appeared on her small face. However, she did not dare to continue speaking as she knew her father was angry.
Lucian glanced at Estella through the rearview mirror and changed the conversation topic.
“What do I need to prepare for your camping trip tomorrow?”
He rarely attended such events, much less brought a kid along with him to attend such events.
Lucian did not know what to prepare for Estella’s camping trip.
