Chapter 1050 Just A Look


    With that, Lucian strode out of the Farwell main residence with Este in his arms. Sonya was fuming as she watched her son take Este away just like that, but there was nothing she could do about it.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    As Lucian drove home, he nced at the rearview mirror, where Este sat quietly in her car seat. Her eyes were still red and swollen from crying, and she clung tightly to her stuffed animal. Lucian''s heart ached seeing her like this, and he resolved to make things right.


    When they arrived home, Lucian carried Este inside and gently set her down on the couch. He crouched down to her eye level, his expression softening. "Essie, I want you to know that you''re safe here. You don''t have to go back to Grandma''s if you don''t want to."


    Este nodded slowly, her small hands gripping the stuffed animal even tighter. "I don''t want to go back, Daddy," she whispered.


    Lucian''s heart broke a little more at her words. He pulled her into a gentle hug. "You won''t have to, sweetheart. I''ll make sure of it."


    Over the next few days, Lucian arranged for a tutor toe and teach Este at home. He also made sure that James, the trusted psychologist, was avable for regr sessions. Gradually, Este began to settle into her new routine, though she still had moments where she would retreat into herself.


    One evening, as Lucian was workingte in his study, he heard a soft knock on the door. "Come in," he called out, looking up from his papers.


    The door opened slowly, and Este peeked her head in. "Daddy, can I stay with you for a while?"


    Lucian smiled warmly and gestured for her toe in. "Of course, Essie. Come here."


    She walked over to him, clutching her stuffed animal, and climbed onto hisp. Lucian wrapped his arms around her, feeling the weight of her small body against his. They sat like that for a while, neither of them speaking, just takingfort in each other''s presence.


    "Daddy, do you think Mommy will evere back?" Este''s voice was barely above a whisper, and Lucian could hear the hope and fear intertwined in her question.


    He sighed, knowing that he couldn''t give her the answer she wanted. "I don''t know, Essie. But no matter what happens, I''ll always be here for you. I promise."


    Este nodded, seeming to ept his answer for now. She nestled deeper into his arms, and Lucian felt a sense of peace wash over him. He knew that the road ahead wouldn''t be easy, but as long as he had Este by his side, he was ready to face whatever challenges came their way.


    As days turned into weeks, Este''s condition slowly improved. She started to open up more during her sessions with James, and her tutor reported that she was making good progress with her studies. Lucian made sure to spend as much time as possible with her, doing everything he could to make her feel loved and secure.


    One afternoon, as they were ying in the garden, Este looked up at him with a shy smile. "Daddy, thank you for taking care of me."


    Lucian felt a lump form in his throat, and he pulled her into a tight hug. "You''re my little girl, Essie. I''ll always take care of you."


    In that moment, Lucian realized just how much his daughter hade to mean to him. She was his world, and he would do anything to protect her and make her happy. As he held her close, he made a silent vow to never let anything or anyonee between them again.
