Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1239

No matter how she thought about it, Aubree just couldn’t calm down.

It wasn’t until she gave Cory a call that she found out about Roxanne’s discharge from the hospital.

Without a doubt, the news further unsettled her.

After much contemplation, she steeled herself and gave Lucian a call.

However, she had to wait for a long while before she heard an answer in a frosty voice. “What is it?”

Despite gritting her teeth, she maintained a caring tone. “Lucian, I just received a call from Ms. Yaxley saying that Essie has missed school recently. Is she not feeling well?”

The moment she finished, Aubree felt her heart tense up as if she was afraid of hearing Lucian say that Estella was at Roxanne’s.

Furrowing his brows in brief silence, Lucian replied, “Essie is at my mom’s. You don’t have to bother. As for the teacher, just inform her that Essie is sick.”

Due to the bad blood between Aubree and Roxanne, Lucian didn’t plan on letting the former know where Estella really was.

In addition, Lucian was certain of his feelings for Roxanne after the poisoning incident.

That was the reason he felt the need to draw the line with Aubree.

However, Aubree doubted the truth in his words.

Given how important I am to Sonya, I’m sure she would invite me over if Essie was by her side. After all, it’s a great opportunity for me to bond with the little girl. Since that didn’t happen, I’m not buying Lucian’s story.

Coming to that conclusion, Aubree felt her heart sink. At the same time, she replied in a skeptical tone, “Really? I’m surprised that I didn’t hear about something this important.”

With no intention of continuing the conversation, Lucian remarked, “I still have a meeting to attend. If there’s nothing else, I’m ending the call now.”
