Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 750

Chapter 750 Warm Smile

Not long after, Lucian brought Estella downstairs. Aubree was already sitting at the dining table. When she saw them, she stifled the displeasure in her heart and smiled at them before pointing to the spot next to her. “Come over here, Essie. Let’s eat breakfast together.”

She thought her threat from earlier would make the girl listen to her. To her surprise, the little girl blatantly ignored her. Grabbing onto the hem of her father’s shirt, Estella followed him to the dining table and allowed him to lift her and plop her down on the seat next to him.

Aubree’s expression froze when she saw neither of them had any intention of paying attention to her. “You’re heading to work in a while, right, Lucian?” she asked a few seconds later, refusing to give up. He nodded indifferently.

Aubree’s rage dissipated slightly when she at least got some response out of him. With a smile, she suggested, “Then let me take care of you today, Essie! I’ll make sure you’ll have tons of fun!”

The instant she ended her sentence, she saw Estella glancing at her cautiously before looking back down and eating silently. In the past, when the girl’s condition hadn’t improved yet, she tended to remain silent when Aubree talked to her.

In Aubree’s opinion, the girl’s behavior had worsened to the point of straight-up disrespecting her. Even threats no longer worked.

Realizing that Estella had changed, Aubree was enraged, and she blamed everything on Roxanne. If not for that b*tch, this brat wouldn’t have defied me. The brat clearly thinks she has someone supporting her now, so she could do as she pleases. It’s all because of that b*tch! I lost my best way into the Farwell family because of her!
