The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 764

Chapter 764 Have A Nice Chat

In the room, Estella felt upset when she thought of Aubree’s expression the moment she walked through the door just now.
I really don’t want to stay with Ms. Pearson, but Daddy won’t tell me when he will chase her away.
After dwelling on that for quite some time, Estella couldn’t hold it back anymore and called Roxanne.
Thankfully, Roxanne answered the call rather quickly.
“Essie, what’s the matter?” When Roxanne saw that it was a call from Estella, she couldn’t help but feel her heart clench. She was afraid that Aubree had bullied her again.
Hearing Roxanne’s voice, Estella felt even more aggrieved. She mumbled sadly, “Ms. Jarvis, can you pick me up from my house?”
Roxanne frowned, her eyes filled with concern. “Why? Did Ms. Pearson get mad at you?”
Estella shook her head. “Daddy is here. She wouldn’t dare.”
Only then did Roxanne feel at ease. “Why did you ask me to fetch you, then?” she asked caringly.
It had not been long since Lucian brought Estella back. She thought Estella had been wronged now that she had called all of a sudden.
However, that did not seem to be the case.
Estella pouted. “I don’t like Ms. Pearson, but she keeps talking to me.”
I want to avoid Ms. Pearson.
Roxanne sighed inwardly upon hearing her response.
I’ve promised Essie that I will help her to talk to Lucian. But judging from his reaction just now, I’m not sure if he’d listened to my words or not… At the end of the day, I’ve still failed to help Essie. If I had known this was going to happen, I would have insisted on letting Essie stay.
After beating herself up for a while, Roxanne replied to Estella in a gentle tone, “Essie, I can’t bring you over now. If you really don’t like Ms. Pearson, just stay in your room and try not to be with her when you’re alone, okay?”
She was worried that Estella would be mistreated if she was alone with Aubree.
Luckily, Estella had learned her lesson. Upon hearing Roxanne’s words, she agreed obediently, “Okay.”
Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief and continued to comfort Estella. “Your daddy probably won’t let Ms. Pearson stay for long. Don’t worry, Essie.”
At the mention of that, Estella recalled the answer her father had given to her just now and puckered her lips in disbelief.
Seeing that Estella didn’t reply to her, Roxanne knew that Estella didn’t quite believe it, but she couldn’t do anything about it. She could only divert Estella’s attention.
“Archie and Benny said that you all have learned to make paper roses in kindergarten. Can you make one for me?” Roxanne asked gently.
Hearing that Roxanne wanted a gift, Estella agreed right away, “No problem!”
I will not just make one paper rose for her. I’m going to make a bouquet of paper roses for her!
Roxanne chuckled lightly, but she still seemed to be worried.
Just when she didn’t know what else to say, Archie and Benny came downstairs and stared at her expectantly. “Mommy, are you on the phone with Essie?”
Roxanne nodded in response.
Archie and Benny immediately jumped for joy and wanted to take her phone. “We want to talk to Essie too!”
They wanted to ask Estella if she had found anything on her side.
Not thinking much about it, Roxanne told Estella about it first before passing the phone to Archie and Benny. “Have a nice chat with Essie.”
Archie and Benny bobbed their heads obediently and ran to the side with the phone in their hands.
