    Chapter 1088 Consequences of Being Unappreciative


    Aftering out of the study, Aubree headed straight for Este’s room while trying her best to school her expression.


    Though she wished Este could just disappear, she was currently under “evaluation.” She would only truly be Lucian’s


    woman after gaining the girl’s favor.


    As long as she could seed, she didn’t mind putting on an act longer.


    She’s just a kid. I’m sure she''ll take the bait if | put my mind to it.


    With that in mind, Aubree knocked on Este’s door with a faint smile.


    Este thought that it was Lucian or Catalina, so she skipped over to open the door.


    “It''s been a while, Essie.”


    Aubree put on a smile, which she assumed was friendly enough, and bent down to greet Este.


    Upon seeing the woman, Este was reminded of the things that had happened before.


    She looked around and noticed there was no one else in the corridor.


    Ms. Pearson used to bully me when no one was around.


    Este shrank backward and hid behind the door, only revealing a pair of wary eyes.


    Aubree was well aware of the reason Este was scared, so she was unbothered by thetter’s behavior. “Don’t be scared. |


    know that I’ve done wrong. Don’t worry, Essie. | promise to be nice to you from now on. I''ll treat you like my own daughter,” she


    said.


    As if worried that Este wouldn’t believe her, she grinned and added, “Your daddy already scolded me. | know you get scared


    easily, so | won’t scare you anymore.”


    By saying that, Aubree was implying that she had gotten Lucian’s permission toe here and meet Este.


    When Este heard what Aubree said, she remembered what Lucian had told her when he left the room.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Daddy said Ms. Pearson will being to spend time with me. So that was true? Based on what Ms. Pearson said, it was Daddy


    who asked her toe here.


    As that realization dawned upon Este, she forgot about her fear and started to fret.


    Daddy used to keep me away from Ms. Pearson because | don’t like her. Even when we met, Daddy would stay by my side. But


    now, Daddy asked her toe to me on her own. Does this mean he’s really not nning to pursue Ms. Jarvis anymore?


    Panic shed across Este’s eyes.


    What should | do so Daddy can change his mind?


    Seeing Este standing rooted to her spot, Aubree thought that the girl was scared.


    For some reason, she suddenly recalled an action Roxanne had done to Este. She reached out to stroke Este’s head in an


    attempt to imitate Roxanne.


    Este snapped back to her senses right away and dodged in terror.


    Because of her previous experiences, she instinctively assumed that Aubree was going to hit her.


    Aubree’s hand froze in the air.


    Rage rushed through her when she thought of the huge difference in Este’s attitude toward her and Roxanne.


    If this were before, she would have made Este learn the consequences of being unappreciative. It would be perfect timing to


    do so since no one was with them.


    However, she had just talked with Lucian.


    Aubree suppressed the burning anger in her and shed a smile at Este.


    “Essie, | know | scared you before. Don’t worry. | won’t do anything to you again in the future.”


    Right after Aubree said that, she vaguely heard a sound from the study door.


    Knowing that Lucian hade out, she put on an even more earnest expression.


    “If you still hate me for what | did, I''ll let you hit me back. How about that?”
