    Chapter 1058 Who Are You


    Even though Roxanne and Lucian knew what Archie would say, they were still moved when they heard


    the boy actually put his thoughts into words.


    After looking down at Archie, Roxanne silently shifted her gaze to Lucian. If possible, I, too, wish Essie


    could stay a moment longer, at least until she calms down.


    Unfortunately, she knew she had no right to make such a request. Only after keeping quiet for a few


    seconds did Lucian turn to meet Roxanne’s gaze.


    Clenching her fists, Roxanne then looked away and pretended to be calm. “What do you think, Ms.


    Jarvis?” inquired Lucian in his deep voice.


    Roxanne reluctantly replied, “I have no say in the matter since Essie is your child, Mr. Farwell.


    However, I do hope that you’ll respect her wishes.”


    Since Roxanne did not intend to request him to let Este stay, Lucian nodded understandingly in


    response and turned to Este. “Then you shoulde home with me.”


    Este had just stopped crying, but after hearing her father’s words, her face began to scrunch up


    again.


    Seeing how the girl was about to burst into tears once again, Benny and Archie got upset at Lucian.


    Daddy knew Essie isn’t in a good mood, but he’s still forcing her.


    “Essie doesn’t want to go back,” protested Benny, confronting his father with determination.


    Lucian was somewhat surprised by the boy’s sudden statement.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Then, Archie also stepped forward to shield Este with his body.


    Even though he did not utter a word, his intention was crystal clear.


    Instead of saying anything in response, Lucian simply looked silently at Roxanne, who was frowning


    slightly as soon as she noticed his gaze. The woman also wanted to say something for Este’s sake,


    but in the face of Lucian’s attitude, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything. Also, she was well aware


    she didn’t have a say in the matter.


    He probably would’ve listened to me back when he was still pursuing me, but now that he’s already


    with Aubree… With that thought in mind, Roxanne was quickly filled with nothing but frustration.


    “Archie, Benny, you guys go upstairs first and let Mr. Farwell talk to Essie,” Roxanne persuaded the


    boys, who never expected her to say that.


    Este, on the other hand, thought that Roxanne did not want her around anymore, so she began


    bawling again while grabbing the woman’s sleeve tightly, refusing to let go.


    When the scene descended into chaos once again, Roxanne furrowed her eyebrows helplessly.


    Lucian, however, remained standing with a deadpan expression at the door, staring at Este and


    waiting for her toe to him.


    It took quite a while before Roxanne finally found her voice. “Mr. Farwell…”


    Even though Roxanne didn’t have the right to say anything, she could no longer remain silent when


    Este was bawling.


    As Roxanne spoke, she reciprocated Este’s grip on her hand and found out that the little girl’s palm


    was already sweating.


    Heartbroken, Roxanne stated, “I know what you guys are thinking, but some things require time,


    especially considering Essie’s condition.”


    Then, Lucian spoke straightforwardly, his words striking the sore spot in Roxanne’s heart. “And who are


    you to concern yourself with Essie like that?”


    The desire in Roxanne to speak up immediately dissipated when she heard Lucian. Her lips parted, but


    no words came out of her mouth; all she could do was tighten her grip on Este’s hand tofort the


    girl.


    Then, Lucian shifted his attention to Este. “Come home with me. Mr. Lann will being over in the


    evening.”


    Since Este had been so emotionally unstable recently, Lucian decided to summon James for


    professional help.


    However, Este shook her head vigorously in response and cried so hard that she could barely


    breathe properly.
