Chapter 491
At the Farwell residence, Lucian stood outside Este’s room for a long time after hanging up. Devoid
of expression, he was preupied with the snippets of Roxanne alongside another man. Hmph! That
hard-hearted woman left without a second thought sir years ago, and I’ve been tracking her down for
six years!
Now that Roxanne was back, Lucian would never let her be closely acquainted with other men. He had
already blown a gasket after seeing her interactions with Larry several timestely. Since she’ll
coborate with Jack Damaris, they’ll cross paths more often inevitably. If something happens between
them…
At the thought of that, Lucian’s face turned grim. It was as though there was a drastic drop in the
temperature around him. No way! I won’t let that happen! As for Roxanne, I can’t let her continue
avoiding me!
Because of Jonathan’s first-hand information, Lucian had been racking his brain the following days on
how he could mend his rtionship with Roxanne. He had been sending Este to and fetching her
from the kindergartentely, hoping to run into Roxanne so he could talk things out with her.
Unexpectedly, she did not show up at all in the following days. As a result, Lucian could not help but
despise himself for having such a ridiculous idea. I have lost count of the days she’s been trying to hide
from me. Even Este has epted the indisputable fact that she might not be able to meet her again.
Why am I still anticipating bumping into her here?
“Daddy.” Este’s mellifluous voice sounded abruptly in the car when Lucian fell into a trance.
He furrowed his brows as he regained hisposure before turning to look at Este quizzically.
Seeing that she had managed to attract her father’s attention, Este uttered sweetly, “Ms. Ward told
us that our kindergarten will hold an anniversary celebration.”
Lucian nodded. “What about it?”
Needless to say, he was aware of it. As he had invested in the kindergarten, the management had
requested his permission when they nned to organize the event. However, he could not fathom why
Este suddenly brought up the subject,
There was unmissable anticipation in Este’s eyes as she piped up, “Ms. Ward told us everyone has
to perform during the anniversary celebration. Our parents have to join too!”
With that, she gazed at her father eagerly. It was clear enough for Lucian to get what
she meant. If parents are requested to join, Ms. Jarvis will surely show up too! Even if she tries to avoid
us and refuses to speak to me, it’s good enough that I can have the chance to see her!

Lucian’s gaze darkened as he looked intently at the anticipation in Este’s eyes. He nodded
indifferently. “Okay! I know.”
Hearing that, Este tilted her head with a look of disappointment on her face.
Initially, she expected Lucian would share the same sentiments as her. It never came to her that he
would only respond with sheer indifference. Does it mean Daddy doesn’t like Ms. Jarvis anymore?
Oblivious to what was ying in Este’s mind, Lucian only hummed nonchntly before retracting his
gaze. Even so, he could not overlook the frustration surging from within him.
He knew fully well that Este wished to grab the opportunity to meet Roxanne. Nheless, he
yearned for more. He was not satisfied with just seeing her and vowed to find ways to mend their
rtionship.
As the thought urred to him, Lucian could not help but feel his temples start throbbing
He was sure as h*ll that Roxanne would not spare them any nce if they had the chance to bump into
her during the asion. Hmph! After all, she’s determined to keep a distance from us!
He had no choice but to exercise restraint. Otherwise, it would only exacerbate the situation.
Subsequently, he and Este each had something on their mind. None of them uttered any words
along the way home.
Back in the Farwell residence, Lucian only noticed that Este seemed to be in low spirits. He knitted
his brows in bafflement. Wasn’t she in high spirits in the car a while ago? So why is she suddenly
upset?
