The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 814

Chapter 814 Illusion

Roxanne remained oblivious to what Aubree was plotting. Estella, on the other hand, desperately wished for Roxanne to accept her father’s affection for her.

For several days, Estella would pester Catalina to teach her how to bake a cake when she returned from school.

Catalina naturally wanted to know where the interest came from. However, the little girl refused to explain, and instead, she would respond with a shy smile each time.

Catalina’s heart melted when she looked at Estella’s expression, so she decided to fulfill the girl’s request. She had thought that Estella was just learning how to bake for fun.

After all, Estella was so small that she could not even reach the countertop. She needed to use a stool, which made the activity quite inconvenient.

However, to her surprise, Estella had learned how to bake quite decently in just a few days. Early in the morning, when the weekend approached, Estella waited for Lucian at his bedroom door.

“Daddy!” Lucian had just opened the door when he heard Estella’s cute voice. When he looked at Estella, he noticed that excitement was written all over her face.

“What is it?” asked Lucian. The little girl tugged at his sleeve as she said, “Let’s go see Ms. Jarvis! I have not thanked her yet!”

At the mention of Roxanne, Lucian knitted his brows. Since his chat with Jonathan about her, he had yet to pay Roxanne a visit. He had also not thought of any romantic gestures.

Knowing that Estella wanted to see Roxanne, Lucian was put in a difficult position. Estella continued to tug at his sleeve expectantly, signalling that she wanted him to follow her downstairs.

Estella was so weak that she huffed and puffed with all her might. Even her face had turned red from the exertion. Lucian frowned helplessly and helped Estella support herself by holding her arm. Then, at Estella’s pace, the pair walked down the stairs.

However, when they got to the bottom, Estella’s feet showed no signs of stopping. Instead, she pulled him toward the door.

It seemed that if Lucian did not agree to take her to see Roxanne, she was not going to give up.

Lucian was rendered with no other option. All he could do was comply with her wishes, and the pair soon drove toward Roxanne’s house in his car.
