Chapter 204


    Chapter 204 After sitting in the living room for a while, Lucian instructed Catalina


    to get Este down for dinner.Este had been staying in her room obediently, thinking about what Son


    ya just said. She was full of anticipation as she fantasized about what it would be like if Roxanne beca


    me her mother.During dinner, she couldn‘t help but ask, “Daddy, are you going to marry Ms. Jarvis?”Sh


    e then gazed at him expectantly. Ever since Este came back, she only


    said a few words every time although she spoke quite a lot with him. That was the first time that she sai


    d such a long sentence to him.Lucian was taken aback before he realized what Este was asking. As


    he thought about Este‘s attitude toward Roxanne, he was curious and asked, “Do you like her?”As ex


    pected, Este nodded.I like Ms. Jarvis the most! When he saw the joy on Este‘s face the moment sh


    e mentioned Roxanne, Lucian frowned slightly. “What do you like about her?”After all, Este had only


    spent a pitifully little amount of time with Roxanne, but she seemed to be very dependent on


    thetter. Besides, she seemed even closer to Roxanne than Lucian.Lucian couldn‘t seem to think of a


    n exnation for that and could only take it that it was because of their mother–


    daughter bond.Este hadn‘t thought of that question before. Now that Lucian asked her, she tilted her


    head and thought about it seriously.After a pause, Este counted on her fingers and answered serious


    ly, “Ms. Jarvis is beautiful, gentle, cooks well and she is very nice to me…”Listening to


    her response, Lucian was filled with mixed emotions as he asked, “But Ms. Jarvis still has her two sons


    . Do you want them to stay with us too?”To that very


    day, Archie and Benny‘s existence still bothered Lucian.   Although they were obedient, and Lucian was


    very fond of them, he felt bad for them every time he thought about how their father had heartlessly


    abandoned both the boys and their


    mother. On the other hand, Este simply wore an innocent expression, and her eyes sparkled. “Archie


    and Benny are very nice to me, and I like them a


    lot too!”I like Ms. Jarvis, and I also like Archie and Benny! With that, she then remembered her initial qu


    estion and looked at Lucian expectantly. “So, are you going to marry Ms. Jarvis, Daddy? I want Ms. Jar


    vis to be my mommy!”If not, why would Daddy ask me so many questions about Ms. Jarvis?Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    As she thought about that, Este became even more ‘hopeful and thought that Roxanne was definitely


    going to be her mom.But why is Daddy taking such a long time to answer me?


    Este‘s eyes were filled with confusion, and the anticipation in her heart died down slightly. “Daddy?” s


    he cautiously urged him.Lucian snapped back to his senses, and his gaze darkened as he avoided Est


    e‘s eyes. “No.”At least not for the time being Refusing to give up, Este frowned, and she recalled w


    hat Sonya previously said. “But Grandma said that–” That Daddy wanted to marry Ms. Jarvis. Before E


    ste could finish her words, Lucian interrupted her in a low voice, “It was just a misunderstanding.”Luci


    an didn‘t wish to continue with the conversation and filled Este‘s te with food. “Let‘s eat. Rest early


    after you‘re done eating.”Este got excited and talked so much previously just because she thought t


    hat Lucian was going to make Roxanne her mom.But now that she heard his response, she lowered he


    r gaze dejectedly and lost her appetite. She forced herself to finish the food on her te before she jum


    ped down


    from her chair and went back to her room without saying a word.Upon seeing how dejected Este see


    med, Lucian knitted his brows and fell silent.
