The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 925

Chapter 925 Coaxing Roxanne

On the way to the Farwell residence, Estella puffed up her cheeks as she sat in the backseat. She stared at her father through the rearview mirror.

“Daddy, did you make Ms. Jarvis angry again?” Lucian frowned slightly when he heard Estella’s soft and adorable voice.

Estella caught on to the change in Lucian’s expression and knew that she had guessed correctly. She snorted angrily.

She had thought that Lucian wanted to bring her to meet Roxanne. However, it turned out he had gone to create trouble for Roxanne instead.

“I won’t listen to you anymore, Daddy!” Estella said gloomily. Lucian’s frown deepened. He patiently explained, “It’s because of work.”

It’s this excuse again! Estella looked at the rearview mirror unhappily and said, “You only know how to lie to little kids, Daddy.”

Lucian’s eye twitched in anger when he heard that. Estella continued listing out her grievances. “You also said that to me the previous time! Earlier tonight, you tricked me into bringing you to Ms. Jarvis too…”

However, when we arrived at Ms. Jarvis’ house, you secretly made her angry! Estella vowed that she would never believe her father again.

Taking advantage of the pause in traffic due to the red traffic light, Lucian raised a hand to massage his temples which were throbbing with pain. “I’m telling the truth. There’s no need for me to lie to you.”

“When we were eating, Ms. Jarvis’ mood wasn’t that bad! She only became like this after talking to you, Daddy!”

Estella’s claim appeared to be reasonable and substantiated with evidence.

Lucian was unable to refute her. He could only remain silent even though he felt a little exasperated.

Strictly speaking, it was Roxanne who found something to be unhappy about. Yet, unaware of the truth, Estella placed the blame on him.

Essie…

Estella frowned in an attempt to look fierce. “Daddy, you promised that you would let Ms. Jarvis become my mommy!”

Lucian remained silent.

“If things continue like this, when will Ms. Jarvis become my mommy?” Estella’s voice was full of worry.
