Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1108

Chapter 1108 I Am His Fiancee

“Finish your meal. Ms. Pearson will send you to the kindergarten later.”

Without giving the child an opportunity to ask further questions, Lucian retracted his gaze from her.

Though Estella was puzzled, she did not dare ask any further at the sight of her father’s scowl. Instead, she ate her breakfast obediently.

By the time she finished her breakfast, she was running late.

Aubree greeted Lucian before picking the child up for school.

Lucian frowned as he gazed at the pair’s departing silhouettes before calling, “Wait a minute.”

Aubree froze abruptly in her tracks at the sound of his voice. Her heart clenched.

Lucian isn’t having second thoughts, is he?

Despite her fears, Aubree maintained her cheery smile. “Is there anything else, Lucian?”

With her hand held by Aubree, Estella gazed with her bright and clear eyes up at her father, also under the impression that her father had changed his mind and consented to allow her to skip school.

Lucian hesitated for a moment as he met their gaze.

After several seconds, his brow relaxed as if he had come to a decision.

“Don’t resist your teacher and your new classmates like you did the last time, Essie. I will be in touch with your teacher from time to time to find out how you’re doing in school.”

The child puffed her cheeks reluctantly. “I understand.”

Aubree heaved a huge but secret sigh of relief. The smile on her face also became more genuine.

“I will speak to her teacher soon. Is there anything else? If not, I’ll be heading off with Essie. She’s running late.”

Lucian nodded indifferently.

With a smile, Aubree led the child away.

Upon getting in the car, Estella sat warily in the back seat and kept her lips pursed, refusing to utter a word.
