Chapter 265


    Chapter 265They had finished nting the second sapling at the time.As Roxanne got up to hand him


    the third sapling, amotion broke out not too far away.“Ms. Pearson? What are you doing here?”


    Pippa eximed in shock when she saw Aubree at the entrance.Aubree was wearing a fancy red dress


    and a pair of expensive sunsses thatplemented her wavy hair. She walked up to Pippa before


    taking her sunsses off and scanning the crowd. “Lucian said the kindergarten has organized a


    parent-child activity today. I’m worried about Essie, so I came rushing over as quickly as I could. Where


    are they?”Pippa pointed in Roxanne’s direction and replied, “Over there with Archie andBenny. Essie


    likes them so much that she doesn’t want to be separated from them, not even for this


    activity.”yvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen


    The look in Aubree’s eyes turned cold when she heard that. She then thanked Pippa and quickly made


    her way toward Roxanne.All the other parents were wearing sports attire to help their kids nt the


    saplings, so Aubree’s bright red dress drew a lot of attention as she walked past them.Those who


    recognized her shifted their gaze toward Roxanne and prepared themselves for a good


    show.Roxanne’s expression grew stiff when she saw Aubree storming toward them.She knew Aubree


    wouldn’t give up soeasily, especially after hearing what she said on the phonest night. However, she


    didn’t expect her to show up like that.“There you are, Lucian!” Aubree greeted him coquettishly while


    standing next to them.She then shifted her gaze toward Roxanne as she continued, “Hello there, Ms.


    Jarvis! Long time no see!”The awkward tension between them was so intense that everyone watching


    could feel it.Roxanne nodded. “Yeah, long time no see.”“What are you doing here?” Lucian asked with


    a slight hint of displeasure in his tone.Using Sonya as an excuse, Aubree said in the most matter-of-


    fact tone possible, “Mrs. Farwell told me you brought Essie here to attend an event. She said she was


    worried that Essie would feel ufortable with so many people around, and it’d be inconvenient for a


    guy like you to look after Essie, so she sent me here to take a look.”Lucian’s frown deepened when he


    heard her mention Sonya.Had it not been for my mother insisting that I marry Aubree, I would’ve called


    off this marriage long ago!Oblivious to his anger, Aubree bent over to look at Este, who was ying


    withArchie and Benny at the time. “Come here, Essie! Give me a hug!” she said with her armsThis is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    outstretched.To her surprise, Este pouted and moved behind the two boys in response.I don’t like


    this evil woman at all! I still remember how she hit me! There’s no way I’d let her hug me!The look in


    Aubree’s eyes turned gloomy when she saw Este pulling away from her, but she maintained a


    friendly smile on her face as she said apologetically, “Are you still mad at me for what happenedst


    time, Essie? I’m sorry for losing my patience. Will you please forgive me?”Este pursed her lips and


    shook her head without saying anything.You little b*tch! I’d have taught your ungrateful as a lesson if


    we weren’t in front of all these people right now!Aubree thought to herself after getting rejected a


    second time.
