His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078 An Insult

Tears streamed down Estella’s face as she sobbed, “Ms. Jarvis, please forgive Daddy!” Roxanne’s eyes flickered.

She had just promised to stay out of Estella’s matters, but the little girl’s tears nearly caused her to go back on her word. A brief hesitation later, she reached out to wipe Estella’s tears away.

“Essie, don’t cry. I…” Roxanne had wanted to explain that she wasn’t mad at Lucian, but after remembering what he had said earlier, she couldn’t bring herself to say that aloud.

As she began to speak, Lucian raised an eyebrow and appeared eager to hear her words. However, she left her sentence unfinished even after he waited for a while.

Lucian’s face turned as dark as thunder, while Estella’s cries grew louder.

Roxanne opened her mouth wordlessly. She felt sorry for Estella and looked up at Lucian, signaling for him to comfort Estella.

The moment she did so, she spotted the blazing fury in his eyes.

When their eyes met, Roxanne felt her heart skip a beat.

“That’s it. Essie, come. Let’s go home.”

Lucian looked away and bent down to take Estella’s hand.

Estella was already flustered by their fight. Hearing her father’s tone, she knew their disagreement had escalated.

She began crying her lungs out.

Archie and Benny ran up the stairs hastily. “What’s wrong, Essie?”

Roxanne’s stress levels had already been pushed to their limit by Lucian and Estella. The boys’ arrival was the last thing she needed.

She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, trying to remain calm as she spoke in a soft voice. “It’s nothing. You guys wait downstairs.”
