The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1147

Chapter 1147

Pamela had not been paying attention to Estella, and she dared not tell any lies in the face of Lucian’s gaze.

Thus, half-way through her speech, she turned to cast a pleading look at Roxanne.

Roxanne had planned to talk to Lucian about it anyway, so when her eyes met with Pamela’s, she continued where Pamela trailed off.

“The kids crowded around Essie and said something to her. They even stepped on Essie’s hand. Essie resisted, but they pushed her down again. I only intervened when I couldn’t bear to watch it anymore.”

Roxanne could somewhat guess what the children had said to Estella, but she did not want to rub salt into the girl’s wound.

As Roxanne gave Lucian the explanation, Lucian’s expression turned colder.

At the same time, the more Roxanne said, the angrier she became. She questioned, “The intense way the kids bullied Essie means that this has been going on for more than a day or two. Do you really not know anything about this, Mr. Farwell?”

Why did he put Essie in a school like this? Is it because he has decided to get together with Aubree and is planning to have another child with her? Is that why he’s neglecting her?

The thought of that possibility made Roxanne’s heart sink, and in her heartache, she tightened her grip around Estella.

Lucian did not speak, but he strode toward her.

Instinctively, Roxanne wanted to move backward, but the couch was right behind her, and she could not do

that

In no time, Lucian was right in front of her. Roxanne tensed.

Right as she was about to question him as to what he was trying to do, Lucian reached out to hold Estella’s injured hand.

After checking Estella’s injury, Lucian turned around and fixed his gaze on Pamela again. “Is this how your kindergarten looks after the children?”

Pamela’s heart lurched.
