    Chapter 1089 Treat You Better


    Este shook her head repeatedly with a helpless expression. Just as she was at a loss about what to


    do, she heard Lucian’s firm footsteps approaching.


    Immediately, her eyes lit up. She darted past Aubree and sought refuge in Lucian, wrapping her small


    arms around his thigh. Lucian looked down at the child clinging to him and thought of Aubree’s


    apologetic words earlier.


    “It won’t take just one night for Essie to forgive you, so there’s no need for you to resort to such


    desperate measures,” he uttered while staring grimly at Aubree, who was still crouching on the floor.


    In response, Aubree pretended to smile bitterly. She said in dejection, “I’m sorry. I was impatient again.


    I’m just—”


    Before she could finish her words, Lucian cut her off, “It’s gettingte. Come downstairs and have


    dinner with us.” Aubree paused and looked in Lucian’s direction in disbelief.


    By then, he was already heading downstairs hand in hand with Este. For a while, Aubree stared at


    their figures from the back dazedly.


    If it weren’t for Este’s existence, Aubree would have thought they had time-traveled back to six or


    seven years ago when Lucian still despised Roxanne and wanted to marry her.


    However, no one came upstairs to get her even after a long time.


    It was then that Aubree returned to her senses and epted reality. She got to her feet and slowly


    descended the stairs.


    In the dining room, Lucian and Este were already seated by the table.


    From the looks of it, Lucian wouldn’t have asked anyone to go and bring Aubree down if she hadn’t


    come down on her own.

    Nevertheless, the extra set of cutleries on the table was enough to prove that Aubree was not hearing


    things earlier.


    She clenched her fist and rposed herself. With a smile, she sat down beside the father-daughter


    duo.


    “What does Essie like to eat? I can learn to make them.”


    Hearing Aubree’s voice, Este moved closer to Lucian quietly.


    A look of displeasure fleeted across Aubree’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it. “Essie, I’m really good


    at cooking. I’m sure you’ll love the food I make!”


    Lucian frowned slightly. “Essie, Ms. Pearson is talking to you.”


    Only then did Este raise her head and nce at Aubree. “No.”


    Her voice was so soft that Aubree did not hear her clearly. “What did you say, Essie?”


    “I don’t want to eat your food!” Este protested, resistance evident in her widened eyes. She turned


    around and grabbed the hem of Lucian’s shirt pitifully. “I want to eat the food made by Ms. Jarvis.”


    The sudden mention of Roxanne caused the two adults’ expressions to change.


    Aubree gritted her teeth secretly, coldness gleaming in her eyes. Then she nced at Lucian


    cautiously.


    She knew Lucian had always had a soft spot for Este.


    I waited so long until Lucian finally gave up on Roxanne. Yet now, this little brat is going to change his


    mind with just one statement!


    Fortunately, Lucian remained indifferent. Even his voice was cold as he said, “Ms. Jarvis is not around


    anymore. From now on, Ms. Pearson will treat you better than Ms. Jarvis did.”


    Aubree heaved a silent sigh of relief before chiming in, “Your daddy is right. Essie, if there’s anything


    you want, just tell me and I’ll get them for you. If you get sick, let me know as well, and I’ll take care of


    you. Let’s not think about Ms. Jarvis anymore, okay?”
