Chapter 100


    Roxanne stopped and turned at her shoulder in confusion.


    Lucian’s brows were knitted deeply. “It’s four in the morning. You only slept for a while, so I won’t let


    you drive back home alone. Besides, what will I tell Essie? You promised you wouldn’t leave. If she


    wakes up and doesn’t see you around, she’ll definitely kick up a fuss and might even run to your house.


    She’s still weak. What if she gets sick again?”


    When she heard that, Roxanne frowned. She didn’t want to stay here after her earlier nightmare.


    Nevertheless, she did promise Este that she would stay the night.


    Sensing her dilemma, Lucian scowled and dered, “Don’t worry. Essie only needs you now. In the


    future, I won’t let her disturb your life if it’s nothing important.”


    With that said, he released his grip on her.


    Roxanne found his words strange, for it felt as though he was mocking her for no reason. An uneasy


    feeling rose in her heart.


    Este rolled over as though she had sensed Roxanne’s departure. The little girl patted the empty bed


    and whined softly.Hearing that, they both turned to look at her.


    Roxanne couldn’t bring herself to break her promise to Este. She hesitated before saying, “I’ll keep


    Essiepany. Mr. Farwell, I don’t think it’s suitable for you to remain here when I sleep, though.”


    Clearly, she wanted him to leave.


    Silence ensued as Lucian’s fury heightened. In the end, he replied icily, “All right. Please take good


    care of Essie, then.”


    He then stormed out of the room.


    As the door clicked shut, Roxanne sighed in relief and went back to lie down beside Este.


    Este inched nearer to her as though she was seeking warmth.

    Roxanne felt her heart going soft, and she reached out to pull the little girl into her arms.


    Este’s lips curled as she sighedfortably in her mother’s embrace.


    The sight made Roxanne’s heart melt. The anxiety caused by her earlier nightmare faded into thin air,


    and she fell asleep gradually.


    The next morning, Este woke up in Roxanne’s arms.


    Her eyes lit up in delight when she realized she had spent the night in Roxanne’s embrace.


    I’m so happyl Ms. Jarvis didn’t leave and even spent the night with me! How I wish she could do the


    same every day.


    Roxmune was half awake when she sensed Este’sser-like gaze. Her mind cleared, and she woke


    up. That was when she met Este’s sparkling eyes. shing a grin, she asked, “Good morning. Are


    you still unwell?”


    Este shook her head profusely.


    Roxanne’s lips curved. “Good. Time to get up now.”


    She sat up from bed.


    Catalina knocked on the door and came in with fresh clothes. After that, Roxanne helped her to change


    Este’s clothes.


    When they were done, Catalina wanted to bring Este to the bathroom so thetter could wash up.


    However, Este refused to let Catalina take her hand.


    “Ms. Jarvis, why don’t you bring Ms. Este to the bathroom?” Catalina understood the little girl’s


    intention and handed her to Roxanne.


    Roxanne was used to taking care of her sons and agreed readily. She then brought Este into the


    bathroom.


    After washing up, she braided Este’s hair.


    Halfway through the braid, Este brightened up and stared at the mirror earnestly. She didn’t move an


    inch from her spot in the chair.


    Lucian stood outside the bathroom, dressed in his suit. The buttons on his shirt were undone, so it was


    obvious that he had just woken up and washed up. He watched silently as Roxanne braided Este’s


    hair.
