Chapter 1174


    Meanwhile, Este had a gloomy look on her face as she sat in Aubree’s car.


    “Essie, your father wanted me to pick you up because he’s busy with


    something,” Aubree exined patiently.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    She tried calling Lucian earlier, but she wasn’t able to get through because he


    declined her call.


    That led Aubree to assume that Lucian would never let her near Este ever


    again.


    Right as she was racking her brain toe up with another solution, Lucian


    called her back and asked if she could pick Este up from school.


    Naturally, Aubree was overjoyed when she heard that and drove straight to


    Este’s school.


    Este’s smile faded the moment she saw Aubree show up at the front gate.


    Lucian had been the one driving her to and from school ever since that incident.


    She only reluctantly agreed to ept the new kindergarten because Roxanne


    had promised to visit her every now and then.However, a few days had passed,


    and she had yet to see Roxanne at all.


    As if that wasn’t bad enough, even Lucian did note to pick her up that day.


    “What would you like to eat, Essie? | don’t think your daddy ising home for


    dinner tonight, so I''ll take you out to dinner instead.”


    Aubree was doing everything she could to win Este over, but Este simply


    pursed her lips and stared out the window, ignoring the woman’s words.


    Even so, Aubree didn’t give up and tried again, “How about | bring you shopping


    for a new toy? | saw a store selling really pretty dolls!”


    When she nced at Este through the rear- view mirror and saw that Este


    wasn’t even looking at her, she lost it.


    Lucian has been really cold to metely, and now, his daughter is ignoring me


    completely.


    Is it because that b*tch has been visiting them? As Aubree happened to be


    stuck in a traffic jam, she decided to vent her anger and frustration by honking


    at the cars in front.


    Frightened by the sudden, loud honking, Este turned around and curled up in


    a corner fearfully.


    There was a hint of glee in Aubree’s eyes when she saw Este’s reaction.


    Ha! | knew it! This little brat just needs a little bit of punishment! Este was


    starting to get scared when she sensed the change in Aubree’s attitude.


    “| want Daddy!”


    Aubree frowned when she heard that.


    She was about to scold Este for being troublesome, but on second thought,


    she realized she had been presented with an opportunity to talk to Lucian.


    With that in mind, Aubree shed the little girl a smile and asked, “Do you miss


    your daddy, Essie? Why didn’t you say so?”


    She then pulled out her phone and gave Lucian a call while Este watched on


    nervously.


    | want to speak to Daddy, but she’s holding the phone so far away from me.


    | don’t know what | can tell Daddy! This time, Lucian answered the phone rather


    quickly.


    Aubree’s eyes lit up when she saw how quickly the call got through.


    However, the smile on her face was frozen in ce when Lucian said, “Essie?”


    She shot Este a discreet re through the rear-view mirror before saying ina


    sweet voice, “Essie says she misses you, Lucian.”
