His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357 Fan The Flames

A hint of displeasure flashed across Sonya’s eyes at Aubree’s concern for Estella and at the thought of Lucian rejecting her suggestion.

If her son had heeded her words over the years to have Estella spend time with Aubree, Estella might not be so attached to Roxanne, given Aubree’s fondness for Estella.

Estella, too, would have no need for Roxanne.

Aubree made a remorseful face. “To be honest, I’m still slightly envious of Ms. Jarvis and how she gained Essie’s favor so quickly. It would be nice if Essie were that fond of me.”

Aubree glanced slyly at Sonya, who frowned at those words.

“What nonsense!” she snapped. “If you are to become Essie’s mother, it’s only a matter of time before she becomes fond of you. Who does that woman think she is, anyway? I’ve told her I will make her life in Horington difficult if she tries to contact Lucian and Essie again.”

Sonya’s words struck a chord with Aubree and filled her with delight.

Everything is falling into place! I was just trying to figure out how to convince Sonya to kick Roxanne out of Horington but she suggested it. In that case, just a little fanning of the flames would suffice.

Spurred by that thought, Aubree put on a worried expression. “Will such a day ever come, Mrs. Farwell? Essie is very fond of Ms. Jarvis. Even if Lucian isn’t prepared to marry her, Essie’s feelings would still be his top priority, like how he has been rejecting me. I feel he might even accept Ms. Jarvis for Essie’s sake.”

Sonya’s expression became stony. “I’ve told him to stay away from Roxanne.”
