Chapter 491
At the Farwell residence, Lucian stood outside Estella’s room for a long time after hanging up. Devoid of expression, he was preoccupied with the snippets of Roxanne alongside another man. Hmph! That hard-hearted woman left without a second thought sir years ago, and I’ve been tracking her down for six years!
Now that Roxanne was back, Lucian would never let her be closely acquainted with other men. He had already blown a gasket after seeing her interactions with Larry several times lately. Since she’ll collaborate with Jack Damaris, they’ll cross paths more often inevitably. If something happens between them…
At the thought of that, Lucian’s face turned grim. It was as though there was a drastic drop in the temperature around him. No way! I won’t let that happen! As for Roxanne, I can’t let her continue avoiding me!
Because of Jonathan’s first-hand information, Lucian had been racking his brain the following days on how he could mend his relationship with Roxanne. He had been sending Estella to and fetching her from the kindergarten lately, hoping to run into Roxanne so he could talk things out with her.
Unexpectedly, she did not show up at all in the following days. As a result, Lucian could not help but despise himself for having such a ridiculous idea. I have lost count of the days she’s been trying to hide from me. Even Estella has accepted the indisputable fact that she might not be able to meet her again. Why am I still anticipating bumping into her here?
“Daddy.” Estella’s mellifluous voice sounded abruptly in the car when Lucian fell into a trance.
He furrowed his brows as he regained his composure before turning to look at Estella quizzically.
Seeing that she had managed to attract her father’s attention, Estella uttered sweetly, “Ms. Ward told us that our kindergarten will hold an anniversary celebration.”
Lucian nodded. “What about it?”
Oblivious to what was playing in Estella’s mind, Lucian only hummed nonchalantly before retracting his gaze. Even so, he could not overlook the frustration surging from within him.
He knew fully well that Estella wished to grab the opportunity to meet Roxanne. Nonetheless, he yearned for more. He was not satisfied with just seeing her and vowed to find ways to mend their relationship.
As the thought occurred to him, Lucian could not help but feel his temples start throbbing
He was sure as h*ll that Roxanne would not spare them any glance if they had the chance to bump into her during the occasion. Hmph! After all, she’s determined to keep a distance from us!
He had no choice but to exercise restraint. Otherwise, it would only exacerbate the situation.
Subsequently, he and Estella each had something on their mind. None of them uttered any words along the way home.
Back in the Farwell residence, Lucian only noticed that Estella seemed to be in low spirits. He knitted his brows in bafflement. Wasn’t she in high spirits in the car a while ago? So why is she suddenly upset?

GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
