The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 743

Chapter 743 Aversion

Lucian more or less knew what she wanted to say, so he furrowed his eyebrows silently and waited.

With a serious expression, Sonya uttered, “I’m still going to say the same thing, Lucian. Aubree has waited for you for six years, and things have been hard for her. No matter what happens, you can’t disappoint her!”

They had had that same conversation many times before, so much so that it gave him a headache every time he heard it. It also made him lose the drive to argue with her.

She continued to speak as he listened silently.

Inside the mansion, Estella stared at the woman sitting on the couch and timidly grabbed the edge of Catalina’s shirt while wearing a wary expression.

Upon noticing the girl’s aversion toward her, Aubree felt displeased, but she still pretended to be nice. “Look, I brought you a gift, Essie.”

Then she pulled out a doll from her bag. “Do you like it?”

Without hesitation, the girl shook her head. I’m not going to like anything this bad lady gives me!

When Aubree saw the girl shaking her head, the expression on her face froze for a moment before returning to normal. “It’s fine if you don’t like it. I’ll take you out next time to buy whatever you like.”

In response, Estella cowered behind Catalina wordlessly.

“Ms. Estella just returned from school, Ms. Pearson. She’s probably tired. You should wait here in the living room while I send Ms. Estella back to her room first.” Catalina watched Estella grow up, so she understood the girl’s emotions very well.
