Chapter 204


    After sitting in the living room for a while, Lucian instructed Catalina to get Este down for dinner.


    Este had been staying in her room obediently, thinking about what Sonya just said. She was full of


    anticipation as she fantasized about what it would be like if Roxanne became her mother.


    During dinner, she couldn‘t help but ask, “Daddy, are you going to marry Ms. Jarvis?”


    She then gazed at him expectantly.


    Ever since Este came back, she only said a few words every time although she spoke quite a lot with


    him. That was the first time that she said such a long sentence to him.


    Lucian was taken aback before he realized what Este was asking. As he thought about Este‘s


    attitude toward Roxanne, he was curious and asked, “Do you like her?”


    As expected, Este nodded.


    I like Ms. Jarvis the most!


    When he saw the joy on Este‘s face the moment she mentioned Roxanne, Lucian frowned slightly.


    “What do you like about her?”


    After all, Este had only spent a pitifully little amount of time with Roxanne, but she seemed to be very


    dependent on thetter. Besides, she seemed even closer to Roxanne than Lucian.


    Lucian couldn‘t seem to think of an exnation for that and could only take it that it was because of


    their mother–daughter bond.


    Este hadn‘t thought of that question before. Now that Lucian asked her, she tilted her head and


    thought about it seriously.


    After a pause, Este counted on her fingers and answered seriously, “Ms. Jarvis is beautiful, gentle,


    cooks well and she is very nice to me…”


    Listening to her response, Lucian was filled with mixed emotions as he asked, “But Ms. Jarvis still has


    her two sons. Do you want them to stay with us too?”


    To that very day, Archie and Benny‘s existence still bothered Lucian.


    Although they were obedient, and Lucian was very fond of them, he felt bad for them every time he


    thought about how their father had heartlessly abandoned both the boys and their mother.


    On the other hand, Este simply wore an innocent expression, and her eyes sparkled. “Archie and


    Benny are very nice to me, and I like them a lot too!”


    I like Ms. Jarvis, and I also like Archie and Benny!


    With that, she then remembered her initial question and looked at Lucian expectantly. “So, are you


    going to marry Ms. Jarvis, Daddy? I want Ms. Jarvis to be my mommy!”


    If not, why would Daddy ask me so many questions about Ms. Jarvis?


    As she thought about that, Este became even more ‘hopeful and thought that Roxanne was definitely


    going to be her mom.


    But why is Daddy taking such a long time to answer me?


    Este‘s eyes were filled with confusion, and the anticipation in her heart died down slightly. “Daddy?”


    she cautiously urged him.


    Lucian snapped back to his senses, and his gaze darkened as he avoided Este‘s eyes. “No.”

    At least not for the time being


    Refusing to give up, Este frowned, and she recalled what Sonya previously said. “But Grandma said


    that–” That Daddy wanted to marry Ms. Jarvis.


    Before Este could finish her words, Lucian interrupted her in a low voice, “It was just a


    misunderstanding.”


    Lucian didn‘t wish to continue with the conversation and filled Este‘s te with food. “Let‘s eat. Rest


    early after you‘re done eating.”


    Este got excited and talked so much previously just because she thought that Lucian was going to


    make Roxanne her mom.


    But now that she heard his response, she lowered her gaze dejectedly and lost her appetite. She


    forced herself to finish the food on her te before she jumped down from her chair and went back to


    her room without saying a word.


    Upon seeing how dejected Este seemed, Lucian knitted his brows and fell silent.
