Chapter 403
Lucian knitted his brows in confusion at that sight.
Essie did not meet with Roxanne recently, nor did she dream about her previously. Why is she having this dream now and crying so badly today?
“Archie and Benny told me Ms. Jarvis will take them overseas once she is done with her work at the research insutute.”
Estella was crestfallen when she recalled her conversation with Archie and Benny at the kindergarten yesterday.
She thought Roxanne was merely lying to her previously, and Archie and Benny also told her they would not be leaving
However, the two kids informed Estella that they would not stay much longer in the country…
Moreover, since Roxanne told Estella she would be going abroad, Estella had not seen the latter.
With that thought in mind, Estella could not contain her urge to shed tears again.
Hearing his daughter‘s words, Lucian‘s face gradually darkened.
According to Archie and Benny, Roxanne would have been abroad now if it weren‘t for this incident!
Estella tugged at the hem of her father‘s shirt and uttered in a childish voice, “Daddy, I am reluctant to see Ms. Jarvis go.”
Lucian pulled himself back to reality and held her daughter‘s uiny hands. He consoled her, “I know. I‘ll have a good talk with Ms. Jarvis.”
Estella nodded. Her eyes glazed over as she let out a yawn.
Lucian placed Estella on the bed and tucked her in, “Go to sleep. I‘ll stay here and keep you company.”
Her head lolled to the side, and she dozed off after lying on the bed for a short while.
Complicated emouons churned within Lucian as he took in his daughter‘s calm sleeping face while pondering on her words earlier,
After Estella was sound asleep, Lucian tiploed out of the room and retumed to his bedroom.
When he was done washing up and was ready to sleep, it was already past midnight.
Early the next moming, Lucian suffered from an intense headache.
Cayden was already waiting for him at the entrance of Lucian‘s othce when the latter arrived.
Cayden hurried forward at the sight of his boss. “Mr. Farwell.”
