The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 678

Chapter 678

Estella pouted and was visibly upset. “I can play with the boys. I don’t need you taking care of me, Ms. Jarvis.”

Roxanne felt a pounding headache when the little girl insisted on staying. She decided to try a different approach and said softly, “Why don’t you come another day, Essie? I will surely accompany you by then. I really don’t have the time today.”

When the little girl was about to say something, Lucian suddenly voiced, “Essie, Ms. Jarvis told you she’s busy. Don’t disturb her further.”

As Roxanne had mentioned the Damaris family just now, his tone was rather clipped.

Estella was shocked by her father’s icy tone. She widened her eyes innocently and dared not say anything else as she gave Roxanne puppy dog eyes.

The cold wind roused Archie and Benny from their grogginess. Likewise, they were taken aback by their father’s tone.

The two boys exchanged glances with each other. We’d better not piss Daddy off in the future. He’s so fierce!

Roxanne disapproved of Lucian’s stern manner and furrowed her brows in response. “Essie is still young. Don’t vent your frustration on her, and be more mindful of your tone.”

Lucian felt incredulous listening to her.

She was the one seeking my help, and now when I help her out, she’s commenting on my tone instead?

Estella knew that Roxanne was backing her up and immediately nodded in agreement as she huffed at her father.

Noticing the two uniting against him, Lucian massaged his temples and tried to suppress his anger. He toned down and said, “Quit messing around. Ms. Jarvis is still dripping wet. She’s going to catch a cold if she stays outside any longer. Essie, say goodbye to Ms. Jarvis and close the door behind you.”
