Chapter 982


    Chapter 982 Este Was Worried


    The next few days, Roxanne did not send the children or pick them up because of her work. Like the previous time, the boys


    woulde back and hint to her about how upset Este was to not see her.


    Although Roxanne’s heart ached whenever she heard that, she said nothing about it. One night, as usual, the children waited for


    their parents to pick them up after school


    Este stared at the two boys. Without even needing her to say anything, the boys knew what she was going to say. Her


    question would be none other than when their mother was going toe.


    Este’s continuous stares throughout the past few days could burn a hole in their faces at this rate. However, they could not do


    anything if their mother did not give them her permission.


    Not long after, Lysa appeared in the line for parents. Este looked away in disappointment. Archie and Benny did not leave


    immediately. They waited until Lucian’s car appeared before leaving with Lysa.


    “Daddy,” Este miserably called out as she watched her fathere closer to her. Lucian was slow, and as he walked to her, he


    swept his gaze around Este.

    Seemingly knowing what her father was looking for, Este mumbled, “Ms. Lane has picked up Archie and Benny.”


    Lucian stopped looking around and stood before the girl, saying nothing else as he took her hand.


    After greeting Pippa, Lucian brought Este into the car.


    Although it was normal for Lucian to hold Este’s hand, there was something strange about it this time. “Daddy, your hand feels


    hot.”


    Lucian furrowed his brows and silently let go of her before walking behind her instead.


    Este did not dwell on that, and she climbed into the car.


    Lucian started the car engine.


    “Daddy, let’s go to y with Archie and Benny,” came Este’s voice a momentter.


    Lucian only frowned and replied, “Ms. Jarvis is busytely. Let''s wait for her to be done with work first.”


    That was what Roxanne had told him after all.


    The light in Este’s eyes dimmed at that. “But it’s been such a long time since I’ve seen Ms. Jarvis...”


    Roxanne had not contacted him ever since that call, and the fury in Lucian had yet to die down.


    Frustration was the only thing he felt when he heard Este mentioning Roxanne.


    “We''ll see her once she’s done with her work,” Lucian uttered in a strangely hoarse voice.


    Este could sense that something seemed off about her father, but she could not figure out what exactly it was, so she stayed

    Upon reaching the Farwell residence, Lucian got out of the car first. Then he turned around to carry Este down as well.


    Carrying Este had always been an easy task for him, but he stumbled this time.


    “Daddy!”


    Este was frightened, and once her father regained his bnce, she looked up at his face in concern.


    The sight that she saw was Lucian’s pale face.


    Seeing the worry in Este’s eyes, Lucian patted her head gently in constion. “I’m fine. | might have caught a cold.”


    He had been feeling weak the entire day, and the girl had pointed out how hot his palm was earlier.


    It must be because | caught a cold, then.


    Lucian did not think much about it. He had always been as healthy as a horse; this was only a cold. He was sure that he would


    be fine after a night’s rest.


    However, Este was worried.


    She had never seen her father this weak before.


    “Go on in.”


    Fearing that he would pass the virus to her, Lucian did not hold the girl’s hand again.


    Este stared at her father’s back as worry washed over her.
