The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204

After sitting in the living room for a while, Lucian instructed Catalina to get Estella down for dinner.

Estella had been staying in her room obediently, thinking about what Sonya just said. She was full of anticipation as she fantasized about what it would be like if Roxanne became her mother.

During dinner, she couldn‘t help but ask, “Daddy, are you going to marry Ms. Jarvis?”

She then gazed at him expectantly.

Ever since Estella came back, she only said a few words every time although she spoke quite a lot with him. That was the first time that she said such a long sentence to him.

Lucian was taken aback before he realized what Estella was asking. As he thought about Estella‘s attitude toward Roxanne, he was curious and asked, “Do you like her?”

As expected, Estella nodded.

I like Ms. Jarvis the most!

When he saw the joy on Estella‘s face the moment she mentioned Roxanne, Lucian frowned slightly. “What do you like about her?”

After all, Estella had only spent a pitifully little amount of time with Roxanne, but she seemed to be very dependent on the latter. Besides, she seemed even closer to Roxanne than Lucian.

Lucian couldn‘t seem to think of an explanation for that and could only take it that it was because of their mother–daughter bond.

Estella hadn‘t thought of that question before. Now that Lucian asked her, she tilted her head and thought about it seriously.

After a pause, Estella counted on her fingers and answered seriously, “Ms. Jarvis is beautiful, gentle, cooks well and she is very nice to me…”

Listening to her response, Lucian was filled with mixed emotions as he asked, “But Ms. Jarvis still has her two sons. Do you want them to stay with us too?”

To that very day, Archie and Benny‘s existence still bothered Lucian.

I like Ms. Jarvis, and I also like Archie and Benny!

If not, why would Daddy ask me so many questions about Ms. Jarvis?

But why is Daddy taking such a long time to answer me?
