Chapter 1084


    Chapter 1084 Do Not Kick Up a Fuss


    After escorting Sonya out, Lucian headed upstairs to check on Este since she was obviously out of sorts upon returning home.


    Catalina was by Este’s side upstairs. At the sight of Lucian, she prudently came out of the bedroom. Standing by the bedroom


    door, Lucian asked in concern, “How''s Essie?”


    Catalina replied in a low voice, “She’s been behaving. I’m not sure what’s going through her mind, but she didn’t cry or throw a


    tantrum.” Lucian nodded in acknowledgment before entering the bedroom.


    It was just as Catalina had said. Este looked distracted and didn’t even notice himing in. Lucian walked up to her and


    gave her hair a gentle tousle. “What are you thinking about?”


    Este was racking her brains on how to cate her father so that he would continue pursuing Roxanne. Looking up frantically,


    she greeted him, “D-Daddy.”


    Lucian sat down beside her. “Are you angry that | brought you home from Ms. Jarvis’?”


    Este nodded with her lips pursed. “Then why aren’t you crying?” Lucian arched a brow. “Because—”


    She was just about to speak when she realized that her n would fail if she were to share it with Lucian. In fact, he might even


    stop her from keeping in touch with the brothers.


    Este quickly covered her mouth with her hands, refusing to say another word. “You can’t tell me?” A hint of suspicion shed


    across Lucian’s eyes.


    Hands over her mouth, Este nodded vigorously. Lucian didn’t pursue the matter. Instead, he inquired about her rtionship


    with Sonya.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    “Anyway, why are you mad at Grandma?” It was then that Este finally removed her hands.


    | have not told him about how Grandma threatened me. On top of that, I’m angry at Grandma for stopping me from spending


    time together with Ms. Jarvis and the brothers. Let’s not forget that she also objected to Daddy and Ms. Jarvis being together.


    The more she thought about it, the angrier she was. Taking in Este’s expression, Lucian was all the more confused. It seems


    Essie harbors a deep grudge against Mom.


    Having finally decided on what to say, Este said in a piping voice, “Because... Grandma is very fierce!” She couldn’t have


    sounded any more pitiful.


    The answer didn’te as a surprise to Lucian, for he was well aware of Sonya’s attempts of trying to keep Este and him


    away from Roxanne all this while.


    However, he could still tell that wasn’t the only reason for Este’s resentment toward Sonya.


    He didn’t inquire further since Este didn’t seem keen on talking about it.


    All that mattered was for her to calm down.


    He gradually got to his feet and stroked her head. “I understand. I''ll talk to Grandma about it.”


    Just as he was about to leave, Lucian turned around after remembering something. “For the next two days, I’ll get Ms. Pearson


    to spend time with you. Remember to behave and don’t kick up a fuss.”


    Lucian closed the door, giving Este no chance to protest.


    Inside the bedroom, Este’s face fell.


    | only want Daddy to be with Ms. Jarvis and not that nasty woman.
