Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1088

Chapter 1088 Consequences of Being Unappreciative

After coming out of the study, Aubree headed straight for Estella’s room while trying her best to school her expression.

Though she wished Estella could just disappear, she was currently under “evaluation.” She would only truly become Lucian’s woman after gaining the girl’s favor.

As long as she could succeed, she didn’t mind putting on an act longer.

She’s just a kid. I’m sure she’ll take the bait if I put my mind to it.

With that in mind, Aubree knocked on Estella’s door with a faint smile.

Estella thought that it was Lucian or Catalina, so she skipped over to open the door.

“It’s been a while, Essie.”

Aubree put on a smile, which she assumed was friendly enough, and bent down to greet Estella.

Upon seeing the woman, Estella was reminded of the things that had happened before.

She looked around and noticed there was no one else in the corridor.

Ms. Pearson used to bully me when no one was around.

Estella shrank backward and hid behind the door, only revealing a pair of wary eyes.

Aubree was well aware of the reason Estella was scared, so she was unbothered by the latter’s behavior. “Don’t be scared. I know that I’ve done wrong. Don’t worry, Essie. I promise to be nice to you from now on. I’ll treat you like my own daughter,” she said.

As if worried that Estella wouldn’t believe her, she grinned and added, “Your daddy already scolded me. I know you get scared easily, so I won’t scare you anymore.”

By saying that, Aubree was implying that she had gotten Lucian’s permission to come here and meet Estella.

When Estella heard what Aubree said, she remembered what Lucian had told her when he left the room.
