Chapter 706 Secretly Took One Of Her Flowers
Downstairs, Lucian, too, noticed the children making their way down. They were
about to say something when Lucian looked up at Estella and said impassively,
“Come down, Essie. We should be heading home.”
Upon hearing that, the children were taken aback. Estella widened her eyes in
confusion. “Daddy…”
I’ve already promised Ms. Jarvis I’d stay and have dinner tonight. What does
Daddy mean by this? Even if he and Ms. Jarvis got into an argument, he
shouldn’t take me home. After all, he told me he wanted me to help him woo
her. If I leave as well, how will that get Ms. Jarvis to stop being mad?
Nonetheless, Lucian was unmoved. “Ms. Jarvis has other matters to attend to,
and we don’t know whether there will be any other guests tonight. It’s better if
we don’t get in her way.”
Having said that, he took two strides in the direction of the staircase and
stretched out a hand toward Estella. Estella pursed her lips and hid behind the
two older boys. “No! I want to have dinner with Ms. Jarvis!”
Archie and Benny quickly shielded Estella behind them. “Mr. Farwell, we don’t
have any other guests tonight, so you and Essie can stay.”
Lucian furrowed his brows. Knowing that the boys were not his children, he had
no choice but to soften his tone a few notches as he replied, “If you like Essie so
much, you can play together at the kindergarten. But she has to go back with
me now.”
Archie and Benny looked at each other anxiously, knowing that he was angry
because Roxanne had brought home that bouquet. However, they did not know
what to do. They had wanted to explain everything clearly to him. If they were to
move aside then, he would surely take Essie and leave.
