Chapter 927


    Chapter 927 Gave Him A Tight Hug


    “Daddy!” Este shouted anxiously when Lucian was about to shut the door. Lucian held the door and


    asked, “Yes, Essie?”


    The little girl looked aggrieved. She had thought Lucian would give in to her demand after she


    expressed her frustration and anger.


    Yet, Lucian did not even bother to entertain her! Este was not used to being treated like that. Lucian


    arched his brows. “Go to bed early if there’s nothing you want to say.”


    When he was about to close the door again, the girl asked in a piping voice, “Will youe with us


    tomorrow?”


    A frown marred Lucian’s face when he heard that, but he did not answer immediately. Este lowered


    her head and fidgeted with her fingers. “It’s the weekend tomorrow. You can spend time with us, right?”


    Though Lucian and Roxanne had had a falling out, Este believed they would reconcile should they


    go camping together tomorrow.


    She remembered how Roxanne used to avoid them, but having been on a trip together improved their


    rtionship. That was why Este believed the camping trip would also do the trick.


    Lucian could roughly guess what was on her mind.


    His heart softened when he noticed a mix of excitement and grievance on her face.


    However, when Roxanne popped into his mind, he instantly subdued his feelings. That woman is


    always suspicious of me, so I’m sure they won’t enjoy the trip if I tag along.


    With that thought in mind, Lucian decided to turn down her invitation. “I have to work tomorrow, Essie.


    I’ll join you guys in the next one, okay?”


    Este pouted in disappointment, even though she had anticipated the oue.


    Lucian consoled her patiently, “Things cropped up at work, and I have to attend to all these matters. I


    would join you if I could.”


    He then walked up to the girl and stroked the back of her head.


    Este looked at him with her puppy eyes, trying to gain his sympathy.


    Lucian did not let the girl get to him. “I know you want me to reconcile with Ms. Jarvis on this camping


    trip. I would do so had I had the time. The thing is, I’m really busy with work.”


    After hearing his exnation, Este knew she could not push it anymore. She inclined her head to


    acknowledge her understanding of his situation.


    “Be a good girl and listen to Ms. Jarvis tomorrow. Take good care of yourself, and don’t cause any


    trouble, okay?” Lucian reminded her in a mellow voice.


    Este bobbed her head in agreement, even though she still felt a tinge of disappointment. Since things


    aren’t working out as I wished, I don’t know when Daddy and Ms. Jarvis will ever reconcile.


    Lucian, who had no idea what was running through Este’s mind, thought she was still mad at him. He


    inched closer and sat by her bed.

    The girl looked at her father in puzzlement.


    “I’ll leave only after you fall sleep,” Lucian said in a deep voice.


    Este’s eyes lit up instantly as she knew his heart had softened. She sat up and gave her father a


    tight hug.


    At that point, Lucian finally figured out what she was thinking. Though she attempted to persuade him


    to go on the trip once more, he kept mum.


    Este eventually gave up as she failed to get a response from him. Left with no choice, she crawled


    back to the bed and hid beneath her nket.


    When her breathing became even, Lucian got up and walked out of the room.


    After closing the door, Lucian stood outside, looking conflicted.


    Not only was he taken aback by how attached Este was to Roxanne, but he was also surprised by


    how his daughter was always on that woman’s side. If in the future they find out they’re rted by


    blood, I think Essie would kick me to the curb and forget about me.
