Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 748

Chapter 748 Fake Smile

The next morning, Lucian heard a series of careful knocks on his door when he woke up. The only person who would do that was Estella.

As expected, he saw the girl standing in front of his bedroom with puppy dog eyes when he went to open the door. Upon seeing him, she greeted sweetly, “Good morning, Daddy!”

Nodding slightly, he patted her head. “What’s the matter? Why did you wake up so early today?” After glancing at Aubree’s room, she lifted her head and stared at her father. “I want to meet Ms. Jarvis! Take me to see her!”

The last thing she wanted was to spend time with Aubree, and even the mere thought of having breakfast with the woman filled her heart with disgust.

A frown marred Lucian’s face as he knew what the girl was thinking and understood her feelings. However, he needed to attend an important meeting that morning. He would be late if he sent his daughter to Roxanne’s place before going to the company.

Thus, his initial plan was to let the girl stay in the house, but when he lowered his head, he saw a pleading look in her eyes. In the end, he couldn’t bring himself to say no to that face.

“I have something to tend to at work today. So, you’ll come with me to the company before I ask Mr. Lawson to take you there. Is that okay?” he asked.

While Estella didn’t want to stay with Aubree, she was still an obedient girl. So, she nodded when she heard her father had work-related matters to deal with.

Patting the girl’s head, Lucian turned around and went to wash up.

As for Estella, she waited at the door docilely.

Meanwhile, Aubree had just woken up. Due to her excessive drinking last night, she was groggy and had a nasty headache.
