The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1127

Chapter 1127

Lucian nodded, his expression giving nothing away as he continued to have breakfast with Estella.

Estella was reluctant to go to school, and she ate exceptionally slower than usual.

Her appetite plunged with Aubree’s sudden visit, and it took a turn for the worse when the woman expressed her intention of sending Estella to school later.

Estella put down her fork gloomily.

Lucian did not make much of her demeanor and assumed that Estella was only acting out because she didn’t want to go to school. In a low voice, he ordered, “Follow Ms. Pearson after you’re done with breakfast.”

Estella’s face sank. She gave her father a puppy-eyed look.

However, before she could say anything, Aubree’s voice rang. “Don’t worry. It’s still early. Essie can still have more food if she’s not done yet.”

Estella furrowed her brows and shot her a look.

Aubree was afraid that the little girl, if unhappy, might tell Lucian what happened yesterday. Hence, Aubree didn’t give her a chance to speak.

Noticing that Estella was looking at her, Aubree immediately said, “Are you done, Essie? We can go now if you’re done with your breakfast!”

Estella puffed her cheeks in exasperation, as Aubree interrupted her right when she was about to talk.

Aubree grew more and more apprehensive as she trained her eyes on Estella.

“I’ll see you guys to the door.”

Lucian was thinking that even though Aubree’s relationship with Estella had recently improved, the little girl might still need to get herself used to Aubree taking care of her. He wanted to help the two of them get along.

Then, he put down his fork and started to clear the table.

Estella was alarmed when she noticed Lucian standing up. “I don’t want to go to school!”
