    Chapter 1079 | Must Stop Crying


    “Why are you upset? Did | say something wrong?” Roxanne forced herself to stay calm and looked at him.


    She did want to break off ties with the Farwell family, but this wasn’t how she expected it to happen. If | do nothing to stop him


    from bringing Essie away, no one knows what he''ll tell her back home.


    Seeing that she didn’t seem to know her mistake, Lucian frowned angrily. “How are you wrong? Didn’t Essie make it clear? It


    was my fault.”


    With that, he turned to leave. Roxanne gritted her teeth. It was obvious he said that out of anger, so she couldn’t let him leave in


    this state.


    Lucian was already downstairs when Roxanne finally made up her mind. She quickened her steps and grabbed his sleeves.


    As she approached, Este’s cries grew quieter.


    Lucian nced at her hand gripping his sleeve with his dark and inscrutable gaze.


    | wonder what she will say.


    Roxanne’s instincts acted faster than her mind. She stopped him but could not find the words to make him stay.


    “If you have nothing to say, please release me, Ms. Jarvis,” Lucian said coldly.


    Roxanne was taken aback, as it was a familiar scenario to her.


    Previously, she would do the same thing to Lucian whenever he tried to make her stay.


    It seemed that they had exchanged roles today, and she was the one getting pushed away.


    Roxanne didn’t know how to feel about that.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    “Don''t act recklessly. Let’s sit down and talk,” she said weakly a whileter.


    That seemed to spark Lucian’s anger again. He held Este with one hand and used his other hand to shove her hand away


    from his sleeve.


    “We have nothing to talk about. Ms. Jarvis, please remember your promise earlier.”


    He then turned around to leave without hesitation.


    Roxanne stretched her arm out weakly but did not have the courage to call his name again.


    Este also seemed to know that her father wouldn''t relent no matter what she did.


    At that realization, she was overwhelmed with sorrow. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her vision turned blurry.


    Archie and Benny were waiting quietly downstairs.


    Their hearts sank when they noticed Lucian’s expression.


    Oh, no. Daddy and Mommy are fighting again. It looks like we have to work harder!


    The boys watched silently as Lucian strode past them with Este in his arms.


    Este’s eyes were wet with tears, so it was obvious she had cried a lot.


    The boys felt bad for her, but they didn’t forget to mouth the words: Don’t cry! Let’s work hard together!


    They gestured for her to wipe off her tears.


    Este pouted unhappily but bobbed her head and raised her hand to wipe off her tears obediently.


    We''ve made a pact. If Daddy and Ms. Jarvis cannot reconcile, we''ll have to work hard to make that happen! | must stop crying!


    Lucian sensed her breathing calming down and frowned in confusion.


    After all, it was the first time Este had stopped crying or kicking up a fuss when he brought her away from Roxanne.


    Is Essie losing control of her tears again?


    Lucian’s expression darkened when the thought of that possibility crossed his mind. He turned Este around and observed her


    carefully.


    There were tear stains on Este’s face, but she was no longer crying.


    Sensing his gaze, she gave him a tremulous smile.


    Lucian’s confusion heightened as he wondered what happened during Este’s stay at Roxanne’s ce.
