    Chapter 846 | Wanted To Tell You Something


    Lucian woke upter than usual the next morning, having spent the night before following online discussions of Herbscape


    Group’s scandals.


    When he opened his room door, he was instantly greeted by the sight of a furious little girl. He knew Este was angry at him


    because he did not check in on her after getting homest night.


    Lucian frowned, but he hid his frustration well. She was his child, after all, and he was not about to ignore her. He pretended not


    to notice her fury as he asked, “Essie, why are you looking for me so early in the morning?”


    Este looked up at her father and said grumpily, “Daddy’s a meanie! Daddy doesn’t care about me at all!”


    Lucian’s brows arched in surprise. He did not expect his daughter to arrive at such a conclusion.


    “Why would you say that?” he asked calmly despite knowing the reason behind her petnce.


    Este puffed up her cheeks in anger, but it soon deted into sadness as she whined, “Ms. Catalina said you came homest


    night.”


    She had already been upset at herself for falling asleep before her father returned home.


    She had thought Lucian would visit her once he arrived home, but no one woke her up.


    In fact, when she got up that morning, she had thought her father had been out the whole night and felt sorry for him.


    Este then headed downstairs, where to her dismay, Catalina revealed that Lucian hade home the night before.


    Her sympathy instantly morphed into anger, and she stalked back upstairs, waiting outside Lucian’s bedroom to interrogate him.


    Lucian knew Este would burst into angry tears if he continued ying dumb.


    He knitted his brows resignedly and bent down to stroke his daughter’s hair. “I was too tiredst night, so | went straight to my


    room to rest instead of checking on you.”


    Este scrutinized his face for a long time.


    Convinced that he was not lying, Este gradually let go of her anger.


    She tugged on his shirt and wailed, “But Daddy, | wanted to tell you somethingst night.”Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Lucian sighed to himself. It was impossible to evade the topic that Este pointedly wished to discuss.


    He would have entertained her advice before knowing about Jonathan''s actions.


    Now, however, he was doing something that could make Roxanne’s life difficult, and he was worried he would regret his actions


    after hearing Este sing her mother’s praises.


    Lucian removed Este’s hand from his shirt and ruffled her hair, coaxing, “I have to rush to the office. Can we talk about this


    after | get back from work?”


    Before she could react, Lucian straightened himself and walked around his daughter.


    Este realized btedly that Lucian had escaped her sight. She hastily chased after him and whined, “But | won''t take up a lot


    of time. Wait for me, Daddy...”


    Lucian frowned but resolutely ignored her pleas.


    Meanwhile, Catalina watched theming downstairs and was perturbed at how unmoved Lucian seemed despite Este’s


    anxious expression.


    She guessed the reason behind the young girl''s distress and said carefully, “Mr. Farwell, Ms. Este was asking about—”


    Her words abruptly cut off when she noticed Este almost tumbling down the stairs in her haste to reach her father.


    “Ms. Este!” Catalina shrieked while racing toward the girl.
