The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 836

Chapter 836 Let Us Go Back

Roxanne sensed that Estella was staring at her, but she did not react. Just now, all Cayden said was that Lucian was busy with work. As Lucian was the CEO of Farwell Group, it was natural for him to be busy.

However, Roxanne felt that Cayden was actually referring to her, insinuating that she had neglected her children as she was too busy with work. Lucian’s words from that morning rang in her ears again. Is work really that important?

Roxanne kept asking herself the same question. She worked hard because she loved her job, and she also wanted to provide a better life for her children.

Yet, her good intentions had seemed to backfire on her. “Ms. Jarvis…” Estella noticed Roxanne’s silence and began tugging at the hem of the latter’s clothes. “I don’t want to go back.”

Roxanne snapped back to her senses and lowered her gaze to eye the little girl.

When she met Estella’s innocent gaze, her heart softened. Nevertheless, she had to coax the girl. “Be a good girl, Essie. It’s very late, and Mr. Lawson came all the way here to pick you up. You’d better go back with him.”

Estella replied with a pitiful look, “But, we agreed that I’d go back if Daddy came over. If he doesn’t, I’ll stay with you.”

Roxanne was surprised by her response.

Indeed, Estella was Lucian’s daughter.

Although she did not speak for quite some time due to autism, it did not affect her eloquence after her condition had improved.

“Well, Daddy sent Mr. Lawson to pick you up.” An amused Roxanne squatted down to regard Estella.

Estella pursed her lips and insisted, “No, I want Daddy to pick me up!”
