The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 927

Chapter 927 Gave Him A Tight Hug

“Daddy!” Estella shouted anxiously when Lucian was about to shut the door. Lucian held the door and asked, “Yes, Essie?”

The little girl looked aggrieved. She had thought Lucian would give in to her demand after she expressed her frustration and anger.

Yet, Lucian did not even bother to entertain her! Estella was not used to being treated like that. Lucian arched his brows. “Go to bed early if there’s nothing you want to say.”

When he was about to close the door again, the girl asked in a piping voice, “Will you come with us tomorrow?”

A frown marred Lucian’s face when he heard that, but he did not answer immediately. Estella lowered her head and fidgeted with her fingers. “It’s the weekend tomorrow. You can spend time with us, right?”

Though Lucian and Roxanne had had a falling out, Estella believed they would reconcile should they go camping together tomorrow.

She remembered how Roxanne used to avoid them, but having been on a trip together improved their relationship. That was why Estella believed the camping trip would also do the trick.

Lucian could roughly guess what was on her mind.

His heart softened when he noticed a mix of excitement and grievance on her face.

However, when Roxanne popped into his mind, he instantly subdued his feelings. That woman is always suspicious of me, so I’m sure they won’t enjoy the trip if I tag along.

With that thought in mind, Lucian decided to turn down her invitation. “I have to work tomorrow, Essie. I’ll join you guys in the next one, okay?”

Estella pouted in disappointment, even though she had anticipated the outcome.
