Chapter 595
Lucian had arrived at the Farwell residence with Estella.
Since it was getting late, he sent her to her bed to sleep.
“Daddy,” she said just as he stood and was about to leave.
Lucian halted his movements, turned around, and sat next to Estella‘s bed again. “What‘s wrong?”
It was obvious she was already sleepy, but she still suppressed her drowsiness and looked at her father. “Does Ms. Jarvis like us?”
After all, when she went to visit Roxanne with her father, not only did Roxanne not chase them away, but she also didn‘t intentionally give him the cold shoulders.
Lucian‘s eyes darkened when he heard that question. He began to recall how distant Roxanne treated him before the children arrived.
“When will we meet Ms. Jarvis again?” Excitement filled Estella‘s voice.
He remained silent for a second before patting his daughter‘s head. “I‘ve been busy with my work lately. Once I am freer, I‘ll take you to meet her.”
It was pretty clear Roxanne was still avoiding him, but the misunderstanding had taken root in his daughter‘s mind, so he didn‘t want her to be disappointed again.
The girl really thought Roxanne had accepted her and her father. Thus, she nodded obediently upon hearing that.
Lucian forced a smile. “You should rest early. I‘ll be heading out now.”
“Okay!” the girl agreed.
It wasn‘t until she was deep in her sleep that he left the room.
Just thinking about the question she posed earlier made his head hurt.
During that period, he used almost every trick in the book in order to close the gap between him and Roxanne but to no avail.
The only thing he could celebrate was that he managed to keep her in the country.
