Chapter 1321
When Lucian saw that Roxanne was going to retreat, his gaze swept across Estella.
“Do you really have the heart to decline? Essie dreams about having a mother. Could you bear to keep her waiting? You've already been absent from her life for six long years!”
His words left Roxanne totally baffled.
She looked down at Estella in shock, wondering what Lucian meant.
Is it what I think it is?
The two kids had yet to realize what Lucian was talking about and simply looked at the two adults innocently.
Roxanne took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm. Then, she turned to Lucian and asked, “What are you talking about? What do you mean when you said I've been absent from Essie's life for six long years? I'm just...”
I was just an outsider to Essie. Why did he say that? The person who has missed out on watching Essie grow up should be her biological mother, no?
“Lucian, what has gotten into you?”
Sonya never wanted Roxanne to be a part of the Farwell family.
Furthermore, since Estella had just gone through an eventful afternoon, Sonya was afraid it would be too much for the little girl to take if she discovered the truth all within the same day.
Thus, she strode toward Lucian in frustration, trying to prevent him from saying further.
It was then that Cayden stepped forward and blocked her.
“Mrs. Farwell, Mr. Farwell is proposing right now. I think it's best you leave them alone.”
Cayden's tone was polite yet assertive. “Don't you want Ms. Estella to grow up having a complete family?”
Sonya grimaced and shouted, “Get lost! Who do you think you are to meddle with the affairs of the Farwell family?”
Cayden kept his cool and insisted, “This is the instruction given to me by Mr. Farwell. All you need to do is to stay where you are and be a witness.”
