Chapter 267


    Chapter 267“Why are you here?” Lucian questioned expressionlessly after pulling Aubree to the edge


    of the nting site.Upon hearing that, Aubree gazed at the little girl in her embrace with concern. “I was


    worried about Essie, so I came over to check on things. Don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for all


    of you.”As soon as she said that, Lucian’s stern voice rang out again. “Well, you’ve seen everything


    now. Essie’s adapting well. If there’s nothing else, you may leave.”Aubree’s expression stiffened.


    “Lucian, I traveled all the way here. Surely you won’t let me go back just like that without a meal?” With


    that, she hung her head guiltily and mumbled, “I know. You still me me for hurting Essiest time,


    but I swear I didn’t do it on purpose. I’ve been regarding Essie as my own for so manyyears. How


    would I bear to harm her? Besides, you’ve already punished me for that, and I know what I’ve done


    wrong. Please, just forgive me, will you?”At the mention of the incident when she had harmed Este,


    Lucian said frostily, The person you should be apologizing to isn’t


    me.”yvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen


    Aubree nced at Este, who was suffering in her embrace.Este could not break free because she


    was not strong enough to do so.Feeling that Aubree had loosened her grip, Este quickly pulled out


    her arms from Aubree’s embrace and reached out to LucianLucian quickly grabbed Este’s arm and


    pulled her into his embrace.“Essie has the right to be mad at me. It’s my fault. From today onward, I’ll


    prove to her that I don’t have ill intentions toward her.” Aubree pretended to me herself, for she knew


    Este would never forgive her. After that, she gave Lucian at tentative nce. “Would you give me the


    chance to prove myself?”In other words, she was asking if their marriage coulde true.Of course,


    Lucian understood what she was implying. With a mysterious smile, he reced his frosty expression


    with a calm look and said, “It’s time for lunch. You should leave after having lunch here.”A look of


    disappointment shed in Aubree’s eyes when she did not get the answer she wanted. Even so, she


    forced herself to cheer up and nodded with a smile.Soon, it was lunchtime. Lucian took Este to the


    cafeteria to get their food, Aubree following behind them.It was her first time queueing up to get food. In


    no time, she was strangely shoved to the end of the line.Aubree frantically attempted to return to


    Lucian’s side, but a few parents got in her way, surrounding her.They stared at Aubree in admiration.


    “Ms. Pearson, you’re so amazing. You’ve got such a good rtionship with Mr. Farwell, and you even


    treat Essie so well bying all the way here to take care of her.”Delighted to hear their praises,


    Aubree smiled. “I’m just carrying out my responsibilities.”With that, she lifted her gaze and looked at


    Lucian shyly and fearfully.“I’ve always heard rumors about you being a pretty person. Now that I’ve


    seen you in person, I can finally confirm that the rumors are true. Both you and Mr. Farwell are a


    fantastic couple.”“Essie never lets anyone get close to her, but she didn’t struggle when you hugged


    her. She must like you, Ms. Pearson.”When Roxanne took Archie and Benny to sit in the corner, she


    heard the parents’ praises and could not help but feel conflicted.Lifting her gaze, she saw Este,


    whose hand was being held by Lucian. A feeling of concern filled Roxanne’s heart again.Aubree


    treated Essie so harshlyst time. Will she really treat Essie well? Besides, Essie’s terrified of
