Chapter 836 Let Us Go Back
Roxanne sensed that Este was staring at her, but she did not react. Just now, all Cayden said was
that Lucian was busy with work. As Lucian was the CEO of Farwell Group, it was natural for him to be
busy.
However, Roxanne felt that Cayden was actually referring to her, insinuating that she had neglected her
children as she was too busy with work. Lucian’s words from that morning rang in her ears again. Is
work really that important?
Roxanne kept asking herself the same question. She worked hard because she loved her job, and she
also wanted to provide a better life for her children.
Yet, her good intentions had seemed to backfire on her. “Ms. Jarvis…” Este noticed Roxanne’s
silence and began tugging at the hem of thetter’s clothes. “I don’t want to go back.”
Roxanne snapped back to her senses and lowered her gaze to eye the little girl.
When she met Este’s innocent gaze, her heart softened. Nevertheless, she had to coax the girl. “Be
a good girl, Essie. It’s veryte, and Mr. Lawson came all the way here to pick you up. You’d better go
back with him.”
Este replied with a pitiful look, “But, we agreed that I’d go back if Daddy came over. If he doesn’t, I’ll
stay with you.”
Roxanne was surprised by her response.
Indeed, Este was Lucian’s daughter.
Although she did not speak for quite some time due to autism, it did not affect her eloquence after her
condition had improved.
“Well, Daddy sent Mr. Lawson to pick you up.” An amused Roxanne squatted down to regard Este.
Este pursed her lips and insisted, “No, I want Daddy to pick me up!”
Then, she turned around to look at Cayden with a woeful expression.
A warm sensation enveloped Cayden’s heart after meeting Este’s gaze. He could not bring himself to
say no.
Then again, he dared not defy Lucian’s order.
For one moment, Cayden was caught in a fix. He could only cast a pleading look at Roxanne. “Um, Ms.
Jarvis…”
Roxanne returned aforting smile and eyed Este with a firm expression. “Listen to Mr. Lawson,
Essie. It’ste, and if you don’t go home, Daddy will be worried.”
In the past, Roxanne would probably have ignored Lucian and let Este stay with her.
However, ever since that morning’s incident and Roxanne’s realization about her rtionship with
Lucian, she decided there was no point in doing so.
Thus, she had to send the little girl back.
Seeing how insistent Roxanne was, Este lowered her gaze dejectedly.
Archie and Benny, who were watching from one side, suggested, “Mommy, we’ll talk to Essie.”
At once, Roxanne recalled how her sons had persuaded Este. Relieved, she allowed them to do so.
The two boys led Este to the living room.
Roxanne merely saw Archie and Benny speaking to the little girl in a mysterious manner, stealing
nces at their mother in the process. Soon, Este nodded firmly and headed to the doorway.
“Let’s go back, Mr. Lawson!” she said as she grabbed the hem of Cayden’s shirt.
It took a while for Cayden to react when he realized how quickly Este had changed her mind. After a
few seconds, he agreed, bid farewell to Roxanne, and left with Este.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
