The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 820

Chapter 820 Console Essie

For a moment, Roxanne did not know how to respond to Estella’s declaration of love. I mean, I like Essie too, but I have never entertained the thoughts of becoming her mother.

After all, she has her own biological mother. If anything, children would probably prefer their biological parents more…

A good example will be Archie and Benny. Although they don’t know the truth of their births yet, their attitude toward Lucian is clearly different from the rest.

“You can’t?” Having received no answer from Roxanne, Estella lowered her eyes in disappointment and despair.

Roxanne’s heart ached when she saw the girl’s disappointment, but there was nothing she could do besides giving her a merciless rejection. Patiently, she explained to the girl, “Essie, you’ll have your own mommy, and once you have your mommy, you’ll find out that liking mommy and liking me don’t feel the same.”

Estella tightened her fists stubbornly and looked at Roxanne with tearful eyes. “I only like Ms. Jarvis!”

“You won’t—” Roxanne said in resignation when she saw Estella’s tears.

However, before she could finish her sentence, the girl gave her a heart wrenching look.

Her gaze seemed as though it was capable of seeing through people’s souls, and that made Roxanne stiffen.

In the next second, Estella let go of her shirt and ran outside.

“Essie!” Roxanne cried out when she returned to her senses. Right as she was about to run after the girl, the man beside her had already sped off after her.

Staring at Lucian’s back, Roxanne ran for two steps, then stopped hesitantly.

Essie dashed off because of me. If she sees me again, will she feel worse? Should I… not show up around her for a while for now?
