Chapter 269


    “Ms. Jarvis…”


    Ouickly. Roxanne vanished from their sight. Este hung her head sadly, her voice shaking as she


    muttered, “I want Ms. Jarvis…”


    Lucian was still feeling mad at Roxanne‘s words. When he heard Este was still determined to look for


    Roxanne, he frowned. “Ms. Jarvis has her own children. You can‘t keep disturbing her.”


    Este lifted her head and red at Lucian, who met her gaze with a frown.


    Both of them had the same adamant look on their faces.


    s, Este could never defeat her father. After ring at him for some time, she lowered her head


    angrily.


    Fine. I won‘t go, then.


    We stay in the same room, anyway. Ms. Jarvis will definitelye back to pack her things.


    At that thought, Este recollected herself and said, “I want to return to my room.”


    Of course, Lucian was unaware of Este‘s intentions. He merely thought she was getting


    ufortable in a crowded ce without Roxanne around. Hence, he agreed.


    Meanwhile, an idea came to Aubree. Before Lucian could even speak, she squatted and patted


    Este‘s head. “Are you feeling unwell, Essie? Why do you suddenly want to return to your room?”


    Este pursed her lips, not wanting to talk to Aubree.


    However, Aubree took her silence as a yes. Getting to her feet, she said to Lucian, “Since Essie‘s


    feeling unwell, I shouldn‘t just leave like that. Why don‘t I go back with both of you? That way, I can


    take care of her.”


    Lucian cast her a nce. When he recalled how Roxanne had always behaved in a distant manner


    whenever Aubree was mentioned, a cold look shed through his eyes. “It‘s okay. I can take care of


    Essie on my own. It‘s gettingte. You should get home soon.”


    Aubree knew he would reject her suggestion. Hence, she had alreadye up with another approach.


    Putting on a smile, she said, “Essie is unwell. Mrs. Farwell will be worried if she finds out about this. If


    she knows I‘ve returned without staying back to take care of Essie, she‘ll definitely be mad at me.


    Besides, I feel bad for treating Essie badly back then. I never got the chance to meet her and apologize


    properly. Please, let me stay today to make it up to Essie.”


    Lucian furrowed his eyebrows and remained silent.


    “I‘ll feel bad if I can‘t make it up to Essie.” Aubree pretended to lower her head guiltily. Even her tone


    was filled with guilt.


    Este only wanted to go back to the hotel to wait for Roxanne. Seeing that Lucian was not moving,


    she urged, “Daddy, let‘s go back!”


    Lucian thought Este was feeling extremely unwell. Hence, he ignored Aubree, bent over, picked


    Essie up, and walked toward the entrance of the botanical garden.


    Aubree was not bothered by the fact that he did not answer her. When she saw him walking out with


    Este in his arms,


    she quickly followed after them.


    After informing Pippa, Lucian took Este back to the hotel.


    He could not be bothered about Aubree, who kept following them.


    Upon arriving at the hotel, Lucian ced Este on the bed. He figured he should give James a call to


    ask for opinions in dealing with Este‘s situation.


    To his surprise, as soon as he took out his phone, Este hopped off the bed and skipped to


    Roxanne‘s.


    Lucian was stunned by what he saw, and he slowly understood Este‘s intentions.

    Here I was thinking Este‘s sick. Who would‘ve known that this kiddo only wanted toe back to wait


    Este felt much calmer as she sat on Roxanne‘s bed. Her eyes gleamed, and she looked excited to


    see Roxanne and the boys return.
