Chapter 1107


    Chapter 1107 Each With Their Own Thoughts


    Este’s resolve wavered at the mention of Lucian.


    She had seen how drunk Lucian was the night before and surmised he must have drunk a lot.


    I wonder what Daddy was up to.


    Aubree delighted at the indecision in Este’s eyes and continued, “If you don’t want to attend school, I


    can help put in a word or two when your daddy’s feeling better.”


    It was only then that Este relented and allowed her entry into the room.


    Aubree got to her feet to let Este get dressed while she picked out the clothes she would wear to


    school.


    Once the clothes were selected, she assisted Este to brush her teeth.


    Este gradually began to let her guard down.


    Aubree used to threaten her whenever they spent time together.


    Este supposed Aubree wouldn’t try anything since she didn’t seem inclined to do so this time.


    Moreover, Aubree brought up Lucian in their conversation.


    Este was docile andpliant to her demands as she did not want to trouble Lucian. Nheless,


    her expression was still sullen.


    She truly abhorred the idea of going to a new school.


    The boys wouldn’t be there, and she disliked her ssmates and teachers.


    Este was led downstairs to have breakfast after she reluctantly changed her clothes.


    Lucian was already seated at the dining table while Cayden stood respectfully beside him.


    He raised his eyes at the sight of Este and Aubree descending the stairs.


    “Daddy.”


    Este released Aubree’s hand and trotted over to Lucian. She rested her arms on hisp and gazed


    into his eyes.


    Lucian’s head was still aching. Therefore, he resorted to patting Este’s head without saying a word.


    Este had nned to tell him of her desire not to go to school but hesitated at his obvious state of


    difort. “Daddy, are you in pain?”


    Lucian detected the concern in Este’s eyes, and heforted her with a smile. “Don’t worry. It’s just


    a bit of a headache.”


    Este pouted her lips and asked out of curiosity, “Daddy, why did you drink so muchst night?”


    Lucian’s eyes darkened and he didn’t immediatelye up with an answer.


    Este directed her questing gaze to Cayden.


    He is always apanying Daddy whenever he drinks for work.

    Cayden was at a loss.


    How could he bring himself to refuse the innocently adorable Este?


    Nevertheless, the truth was he had no clue what happened to Lucian as well.


    Lucian had finished drinking by the time he got therest night.


    Este’s question reminded Aubree of Lucian’s inebriated state the night before.


    Her heart clenched as she eyed him steadily.


    It must have been a personal matter since Cayden was not privy to it.


    Furthermore, Lucian had been with Jonathan.


    Aubree felt a hint of displeasure as she thought of what Frieda had told her about Jonathan’s opinions


    toward Lucian and Roxanne.


    Even so, Lucian still entrusted her to send Este to school, which undeniably meant he would give up


    on Roxanne after their conversationst night.


    She concluded that there was no point getting worked up about nothing.


    Everyone in the dining hall was preupied with their own thoughts.


    Lucian’s deep voice sounded after a long moment as he tried to avoid answering Este. “I went out


    with Mr. Queen yesterday and identally drank too much. I’m sorry for making you worry.”


    Este did not appear convinced as her gaze lingered on Lucian longer than usual.


    She had a gut feeling that he was not telling her the whole truth.
