The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 890

Chapter 890 Roxanne Is Here
Estella lowered her gaze discreetly and burrowed into Lucian’s embrace. Ms. Jarvis smells so much better than Daddy!
Lucian scoffed at the irony of the situation. Essie only likes Roxanne so much because of the bond between a mother and a child.
Little did he know, Roxanne was feeling the same about Estella.
He thought that Roxanne had chosen her job over Estella.
“Daddy, don’t feel remorseful, okay?” Estella remembered the phone call that made her cry. In a sheepish and cute tone, she added, “I only want Ms. Jarvis to be my mommy.”
Upon hearing those words, Lucian was reminded of the phone call, and he went silent for a few seconds after Estella repeated the question.
Annoyed, Lucian wanted to refute Estella’s words. However, he quickly recalled James’ advice. In the end, Lucian took a few seconds to calm himself down.
Once he had suppressed his anger, Lucian replied vaguely, “I won’t marry someone you don’t like. Besides, I’m not planning on getting married anytime soon.”
“I only like Ms. Jarvis!” Estella’s eyes lit up.
In other words, the only woman Lucian could marry was Roxanne because Estella wouldn’t like any other woman apart from her.
A bitter look appeared in Lucian’s eyes when he heard that. He didn’t expect Estella to respond so swiftly.
When Estella said those words, there was a sly look in her eyes as she stared at Lucian.
“I know.” Lucian furrowed his brows helplessly.
In other words, he had agreed to Estella’s words.
Hearing that, Estella finally flashed a smile. While tugging at Lucian’s shirt, she urged, “Daddy, quick! Pursue Ms. Jarvis!”
Lucian merely nodded indifferently in response because he couldn’t help thinking of the scene where Roxanne was with Jack. Even if I don’t want to accept it, it’s the truth. Roxanne is no longer the person she was six years ago. Now, she’s a lot more eye-catching. I’m no longer the only man she sees.
Refusing to give up, Estella probed, “You know what I mean, right?”
Estella wasn’t going to let the matter slide unless she heard a definitive answer from Lucian.
Lucian returned to his senses and heaved a helpless sigh. “I’ll try.”
Satisfied, Estella nodded and gradually removed herself from Lucian’s embrace. While staring at him sternly, she encouraged, “You’re the best daddy in the world, Daddy! Ms. Jarvis is also the best mommy in the world! You’ll surely be successful in pursuing Ms. Jarvis, Daddy! After all, Archie, Benny, and I will be helping you!”
Lucian was amused by her words. He could only nod at her since he was rendered speechless.
Suddenly, the intercom in the mansion rang.
Thinking that Roxanne was there, all three of them looked inquiringly in the door’s direction.
Catalina subconsciously took a couple of steps toward the entrance, but she turned around to look at Lucian, awaiting his permission.
Lucian frowned. If Essie were asleep, I would unhesitatingly tell Catalina to decline the call. However, Essie is awake, and she’s staring at the door.
Left without a choice, Lucian nodded at Catalina, signaling her to answer the door. If Roxanne’s here, I’ll let her in.
Catalina heaved a sigh of relief and quickly went to answer the intercom.
