Chapter 704 Lilies
Roxanne’s expression froze when she heard Lucian mentioning her going on a
date again. “You should’ve told me if you were busy, Ms. Jarvis. I would’ve
come to bring Essie home,” Lucian added.
Hearing his tone, Estella knew he was pissed. “Daddy!” she said anxiously.
Lucian’s eyes darkened. He looked down at Estella, and only then did he realize
how cold he had sounded. I got angry when I saw those flowers. But Roxanne
may not think I have the right to be angry.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t come back earlier to accompany you, Essie.” Roxanne
ignored Lucian and cast Estella an apologetic look.
Estella quickly shook her head when she heard Roxanne apologizing to her. “It’s
all right, Ms. Jarvis. You’re back now. Besides, those fried chickens were
delicious! I love them!”
With that, Estella shot her father a discontented look. Forget that he forbade me
from eating delicious food. Now, he even got angry at Ms. Jarvis! I’m not happy
with that!
Lucian merely frowned and kept mum. He was afraid that he would lose his
temper if he were to talk again.
Roxanne knew Estella didn’t want her to put too much blame on herself. She
smiled appreciatively and said, “I’ll make you something yummy tonight, okay?”
Ms. Jarvis is making me dinner! Estella’s eyes lit up, and she nodded excitedly.
“Okay!”
After that, Roxanne walked into the living room.
Only when she walked past Archie and Benny did they notice the bouquet in her
hands. They instinctively turned toward Lucian.
As they expected, Lucian’s expression was as black as thunder.
