Chapter 763 That Girl Will Regret It
After Lucian brought Este to wash her hands, they came out and sat at the dining table.
They sat at the same side of the table, leaving Aubree alone on the opposite side. It was clear as day
that they were giving her the cold shoulder.
Feeling their aversion toward herself, Aubree dug her nails into her palm quietly to suppress her boiling
rage. “Essie, did you have fun with your daddy today?” she asked with a nonchnt smile.
Let’s see if the father-daughter duo is going to tell me the truth!
Naturally, Este turned a deaf ear to her question, and Lucian merely nced at her meaningfully,
looking as if he had seen through something.
Aubree shuddered involuntarily and steeled herself to carry on with the one-sided conversation. “I
figure Essie probably had nothing to y with when she was staying at the office with you. You’re
always busy with work, so I’m worried she might be bored.”
After saying that, she turned to Este and continued with a smile tugging at her lips, “Let’s y
togetherter, okay? I bought a lot of games for you today.”
Este pursed her lips and shook her head.
If I hadn’t known the way Este behaves in front of Roxanne, I would have thought that this girl is a
mute. But it turns out that Little Mute has a silver tongue in front of that b*tch, Roxanne!
Waves of exasperation washed over Aubree, but the smile on her lips grew even more genuine as she
went on, “What do you want to y, then, Essie? I can y with you.”
Este lost her appetite after hearing what Aubree said. She put down the fork in her hand and gazed
pleadingly at her father, silently asking for his approval.
Lucian knew that Este wanted to go upstairs to escape Aubree’s ingratiation, but he furrowed his
brows and did not agree to her request.
Essie has always been sickly. I won’t let her go without eating.
Este seemed somewhat upset to see her father reject her.
Lucian turned his head and nced at Aubree with a hint of warning in his eyes. “If you have time to
y games with Essie, you should call home more frequently so that Mr. Pearson will stop being mad
at you.”
Aubree met his gaze, then bit her lower lip and argued her case in a pitiful state. “I just want to make up
to Essie. I didn’t have much time to spend with her in the past, and I don’t know much about her as
well. I hope I can use this opportunity to let Essie and I get to know each other more.”
Still, Lucian remained unmoved, and his tone became even frostier as he replied, “There is no need for
that. You may not have the chance to get along with Essie again in the future, so you don’t have to
know her well, and she doesn’t need to know you as well.”
He made it clear with those words that she would not have the chance to be Este’s mother.
Although Aubree had long learned of his stance on the matter, when she heard him say that again, she
still felt a stab in her heart. At the same time, her resentment for Roxanne and Este grew even more.
For a long while, Aubree found herself at a loss for words.
Taking advantage of the tense atmosphere, Este quickly finished her meal. This time, she put down
the fork, jumped out of the chair, and dashed toward the stairs without asking for her father’s
permission.
An insidious glint shed across Aubree’s eyes as she watched Este climb up the stairs.
Lucian didn’t think much about it. Without saying another word to Aubree, he rose to his feet as well
and followed Este up the stairs.
When he saw that Este had gone into her room, he turned to the study.
The father-daughter duo acted as though the woman downstairs were not there at all.

Aubree had a cold look in her eyes as she watched them leave.
