Chapter 1087 Make It Up to Her
Lucian sized her up silently for a long while. Upon learning that she had sought a psychologist over the incident, Lucian looked a lot less hostile. His tone, too, softened when he said, “That’s very thoughtful of you.”
Detecting the change in his voice, Aubree felt her heart go wild in ecstasy. “It was my duty anyway. When I ended up hitting her, it was no surprise that she didn’t like me. This is all my fault, Lucian, and I’m willing to take responsibility.”
Unmoved by her words, Lucian continued to speak in an indifferent tone. “In that case, do you want to make it up to her?”
Aubree nodded without hesitation. “All this while, I have been wanting to apologize to her but didn’t get the opportunity to do so.”
“Then why don’t you spend some time together? Essie will be home over the next few days, while I’ll be busy with work. If you have the time, you’re welcome to come over and spend time with her.”
Lucian was implicitly placing Estella in her care.
At that moment, Aubree pinched her palm just to make sure that she wasn’t dreaming.
By asking me to come over and watch Essie while he’s at work, isn’t that the equivalent of granting me access to the manor whenever I please?
It was a dream come true for Aubree. One that she didn’t imagine could be achieved so easily.
“Essie’s mood has been volatile recently. Since you have learned from the psychologist how to interact with her, you probably know what must be done. Don’t repeat the same mistake. She can’t afford to suffer any more emotional shocks.”
Aubree nodded fervently as she listened.
It wasn’t until Lucian finished that Aubree gave him a look of surprise. “Lucian, do you mean… that you’ll continue with our engagement?”
After frowning in silence for a few seconds, Lucian nodded. “As long as Essie accepts you.”
