Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 745

Chapter 745 Acting

Aubree’s expression darkened as she stared at Lucian’s back. Even though he had agreed to let her stay in the manor, it was obvious he intended to ignore her presence.

Of course, she wasn’t going to allow that to happen. Meanwhile, after Lucian left the room, he strode to Estella’s bedroom before knocking on the door. “Open up, Essie.”

When Estella heard her father’s voice, she recalled what Aubree had said earlier. In response, she turned around in a huff, facing the door with her back.

After waiting for some time, Lucian still hadn’t gotten a response from her. She must be sulking again. What a headache. Both my mother and my daughter are just taking turns to give me a hard time tonight.

Lucian waited a little longer, and still, there was no response. So, he grabbed the key, unlocked the door, and entered the room.

When he entered the room, he saw his daughter sitting on the bed while hugging her knees, curling into a ball. From his angle, she looked so tiny.

The look in Lucian’s eyes softened when he saw Estella sulking. He spoke tenderly. “Grandma needed to talk to me just now, so I left you alone for a while. Tell me what happened, okay?”

The little girl shot her father a glare upon seeing that he had entered the room without gaining her approval.

Alas, she was too tiny and adorable to be intimidating, so the look in her eyes didn’t scare Lucian at all. It just came off as amusing to him.

Seeing the smile on Lucian’s face made Estella’s temper spike. “I hate you, Daddy!”

He raised his eyebrow slightly. “What did I do wrong?”

She pouted. “You said you’re going to pursue Ms. Jarvis!”

With an indifferent nod, he replied, “That’s what I’ve been doing.”
