The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 665

Chapter 665 Watch What You Say

Roxanne furrowed her eyebrows slightly. She was about to explain to Estella that matching outfits were meant to be worn with her daddy and mommy when the employee beat her to it.
“You have such a good eye, little girl! This set of matching dresses really fits you and your mommy!” Roxanne was stunned. She glanced at Estella before shifting her gaze to the employee, wanting to deny that statement. To her surprise, before she could speak, the girl was already hugging her arm.
The latter even called out sweetly, “Mommy!” For a moment, Roxanne didn’t know how to respond.
Enter title…
Estella, on the other hand, was filled with anticipation. Daddy said he’ll make Ms. Jarvis my mommy. It should be fine if I call her Mommy right now!
Roxanne was stunned for a long time. When she recollected herself, she turned to look at Lucian and wondered how he would react.
Lucian loves Essie very much, so I bet her real mommy probably holds a very important spot in his heart. He’ll probaably correct Essie’s mistake soon.
Lucian furrowed his brows when his eyes met hers. After staying silent for a few seconds, he approached Estella expressionlessly and looked down at her from above. “Watch what you say, Essie.”
Estella didn’t expect her attempt at helping her father chase after Roxanne would cause her to be reprimanded.
“No! I want Ms. Jarvis to be my mommy,” Estella, her eyes red, mumbled
aggrievedly, upon hearing his stern tone and gave him an accusing look. “You said—”
Seeing that he was going to be sold out by his own daughter again, Lucian said in a deeper voice, “Don’t trouble Ms. Jarvis, Estella. If you like the dress, I can buy it for you.”
The employee standing at the side didn’t expect their relationship to be that complicated. “Sir, our clothes are sold in sets…”
Lucian glanced at Roxanne and uttered, “Then bag these two dresses.”
Of course, Estella knew what her father meant. He was going to buy both dresses, but she would only wear the princess dress.
Realizing that, she became even more aggrieved and angry. “No! I don’t want it anymore!”
She wanted to wear the matching dress with Roxanne.
Lucian frowned as he stared at Estella, who was throwing a tantrum.
At that moment, the atmosphere between the father and daughter became very tense.
Roxanne’s heart ached as she took in Estella’s reddened eyes and the way
Lucian educated the child.
In order to comfort the girl, she leaned down, looked into her eyes, and asked,
“You want me to wear the matching dresses with you, right, Essie?”
Estella sniffled and nodded vigorously.
Roxanne suppressed the strange emotion in her heart and smiled. “Okay. Let’s go and try out the dresses.”
With that, she got up and grabbed the dresses from the employee’s hands.
Estella’s eyes slowly lit up when she heard that. After shooting her father a furious look, she turned away and entered the fitting room while holding Roxanne’s hand.
After some time, they changed their clothes and came out of the fitting room.
Roxanne brought Estella to a mirror. The latter smiled when she looked at the two of them in the mirror.
