    Chapter 977 Guilty


    “Be good, Essie. Let me carry you. Don’t cry,” Sonyaforted patiently. Unexpectedly, the more


    Sonya consoled Este, the harder Este cried. Este was crying so hard that she could barely catch


    her breath.


    Upon noticing that things had gotten out of hand, Sonya reluctantly passed Este to Lucian. Este’s


    wails soon grew weaker again and gradually turned into whimpers after she got into Lucian’s embrace.


    The moment Lucian noticed how aggrieved Este looked, he knew exactly what had happened. I


    wonder what ruthless things my mother did in order to bring Essie out of Roxanne’s house.


    “You’ve spoiled her.” Sonya was dissatisfied. “Don’t you remember how heartless that woman was


    back then? Why do you still want Essie to get near her? I told you countless times to stay away from


    her! Why wouldn’t you listen? Are you happy now? Essie doesn’t even want to return to her own home


    anymore!”


    Este didn’t know what Sonya meant, but she could feel that Sonya was badmouthing Roxanne to


    Lucian.


    Knowing that, Este tugged at Lucian’s shirt and whined, “I want Ms. Jarvis…”


    Sonya was infuriated when she heard that. “Why would you want her? She didn’t even want—”


    Before Sonya could finish her sentence, Lucian interrupted, “Catalina, bring Essie upstairs.”


    Catalina hurried toward Lucian and reached out to carry Este.


    Considering how hard Este had been crying earlier on, Catalina didn’t know if Este would allow


    being carried away.


    Fortunately, Este was sick of Sonya’sints. When she saw Catalina reaching out to her, she


    immediately leaped into Catalina’s embrace.


    Catalina couldn’t help feeling helpless and heartbroken when she felt Este sobbing silently in her


    arms. This is obviously an issue among adults. Why did they have to drag Ms. Este into it?


    Sonya was startled by Lucian’s aura, and she ended up stunned for a few seconds. She only regained


    herposure after Catalina brought Este upstairs. It’s so obvious that Lucian doesn’t want Essie to


    hear our conversation after this.


    Sonya’s expression turned increasingly grim by the second.


    “Shouldn’t Essie know about it as well? Why did you ask Catalina to bring her upstairs? Are you going


    to hide the truth from Essie forever? You can only keep her in the dark for so long. Don’t you think once


    Essie grows up she’s going to find out that the woman she’s so in love with is the same woman who


    abandoned her after giving birth to her? Do you think she’ll be able to ept it?”


    Sonya’s stubbornness was giving Lucian a headache. “As I said, there must be some


    misunderstandings. I just haven’t figured it out yet.”


    As soon as those words fell, he heard his mother speaking those usual prejudiced words. “What


    misunderstandings are you talking about? What lies before our eyes is the truth! Unlike Roxanne,


    Aubree—”


    “I’ll judge Aubree on my own,” Lucian interrupted coldly. If I let her continue talking, she’s only going to


    talk about how great Aubree is.


    Sonya frowned, and she wanted to continue talking. However, she quickly noticed the change in


    Lucian’s aura.


    Lucian stared at her with a grim expression and said, “How about you? You knew about Essie’s


    condition, but you still used extreme means to take her away from Roxanne. Have you ever considered


    that Essie’s condition may deteriorate at any time?”


    When Sonya was at Roxanne’s, she had heard something simr from her, but she didn’t take it


    seriously.


    Perhaps Sonya just didn’t want to ept the fact that Roxanne cared about Este.

    Evidently, Sonya only felt guilty for her actions when she heard Lucian mentioning it.
