    Chapter 1075 No Longer Rted


    Roxanne knew Lucian finally believed her, so she broke the silence, her voice calm and gentle. “This is not a confrontation. I’m


    just worried about Essie’s well-being. If it''s her autism that causes her to be this extreme, | hope you can help her by taking her


    to see a professional for support and guidance.”


    She had assumed that Lucian would consider her suggestion, but Lucian immediately responded curtly, “I don’t think there’s


    anything wrong with what Essie did.”


    Roxanne froze in shock. Este damaged someone else’s property at a young age, yet Lucian thinks she didn’t do anything


    wrong? For a moment, Roxanne doubted herself and wondered if she was wrong.


    Este did that not because of her autism or her innate personality. She did that because Lucian taught her to. Could that be the


    reason?


    Roxanne tried to reason with Lucian. “Even if she’s a child, she should understand that it’s wrong to touch someone else’s


    property. It’s a car tire, on top of that. The consequences of a punctured tire can be severe. It can even lead to idents and


    injuries!” She stared at him incredulously. “Do you still think Essie didn’t do anything wrong?”


    Lucian met her gaze calmly. “This is a simple concept that even a child can understand. Don’t tell me Mr. Damaris cannot grasp


    this.”


    His words brought a frown to Roxanne’s face. She couldn’t understand what he was referring to.


    Is Lucian saying that Jack touched someone else’s property? What could it be?


    Suddenly, a shocking answer emerged in Roxanne’s heart.


    She shot him a startled look before averting her gaze in panic.


    Lucian continued looking at her calmly. “No matter what my opinion is, Essie has always considered you as her mother. I’m sure


    you''re aware of that.”


    Roxanne hung her head low, as she couldn''t refute his words.


    Indeed, Este was very attached to her. The young girl had mentioned more than once that she wished Roxanne could be her


    mother.


    Roxanne was aware of Este’s wish but was not ready to face it.


    Now that Lucian had pointed it out, she felt guilty.


    “Essie thinks you treat her well and that you will be her mother one day by marrying me.” Lucian stepped closer to her. “So in her


    eyes, Jack has touched someone who belongs to me. Isn''t that right?”


    Roxanne instinctively took a step back as conflict swirled in her heart.


    She had to admit that Lucian’s words had nearly caused a tsunami in her heart.


    “Please don’t overstep your boundaries, Mr. Farwell.” Roxanne forced herself to remain calm by digging her nails into her palm. It


    was uncertain who her words were meant for. “We are no longer rted, so that is not a justification for Essie to do as she


    pleases.”


    Lucian merely let out a snort.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Roxanne felt her heart leap to her throat as she looked up and met his eyes.


    She might be wrong, but there seemed to be a hint of mockery in Lucian’s eyes.


    Puzzled, Roxanne creased her brows and stepped back again.


    She btedly realized what she was doing and forced herself toe to a stop.


    This is strange. | was the one who came to Lucian to talk about Essie’s condition, but he ended up forcing me into a corner as


    though | was the one at fault.
