Chapter 1134


    Meanwhile, Este and Pam were the only ones left at the kindergarten entrance.


    “Essie, who’sing to pick you up today? Were you always picked up sote in your previous


    kindergarten?” Pam patiently rified the matter with Este, for it was the first time she had


    encountered such a


    situation.


    Este pursed her lips in silence as if she didn’t hear Pam at all.


    It was never her desire toe to the new kindergarten, and now that she was left to wait for a long


    time, she couldn’t help but feel depressed.


    Just when Pam was wondering whether to give Lucian a call, a car gradually rolled up beside them.


    Aubree alighted from it with an anxious expression on her face.


    “I’m sorry for beingte, Ms. Yaxley. Traffic was really bad.” After speaking to Pam, she gave Este


    an apologetic look. “I’m sorry to have made you wait, Essie. I’ll definitelye earlier next time!”


    Este continued to pout in silence.


    Seeing that, Pam defused the situation with a smile. “It’s normal for kids to throw a tantrum after


    waiting for such a long time. She’ll be fine after a while.”


    Aubree nodded in acknowledgment. She pulled Este to her side, then bade Pam goodbye and


    ushered Este into the car.


    Throughout the journey, Aubree kept apologizing to Este.


    “I’m really sorry. I stay far away from your kindergarten, and I also didn’t expect to encounter such


    heavy


    traffic.”

    With her head hung low, Este ignored Aubree while fiddling with her fingers.


    When they arrived at the Farwell residence, Lucian was about to give Aubree a call.


    The sight of her caring to a halt elicited a frown from him.


    “Lucian, I’m sorry I waste picking up Essie. I was stuck in traffic.”


    Aubree had already gotten into character,plete with a remorseful expression and reddened eyes.


    Lucian suppressed his urge to demand an exnation from her.


    “This is all my fault. Essie never liked her new kindergarten, and I had to make things worse by letting


    her wait. It’s no surprise that she’s mad at me,” Aubree med herself.


    Behind her, Este looked up to nce at her. Despite the minute change in her face, she didn’t say a


    word at


    all


    All this while, she had felt that Aubree was just putting on an act. But now, she was no longer as


    certain.


    Ms. Pearson was speaking in that tone inside the car. If this was all just an act, why would she bother


    to pretend in front of me?


    As Lucian watched how Aubree med herself, his expression changed.


    “Why don’t I find a ce to stay that’s nearer to Essie’s kindergarten? Otherwise, it would be


    troublesome if I got caught in traffic again…” Aubree added while discreetly observing Lucian’s


    expression.


    The sight of his furrowed brows filled Aubree with secret delight. She could see that the time was right


    to pile on the pressure. “I’ll get my mom to look for a ce for me once I get back.”

    “There’s no such need,” Lucian said in a deep voice. “You can move into the manor for the time being.


    It will be more convenient for you to pick Essie up and watch over her here.”


    Aubree feigned hesitance. “Wouldn’t Essie feel ufortable if I were to move in? I feel that we


    should take it slow when ites to improving our rtionship.”


    “Since it’s just a matter of time for us to live together, we might as well let her get used to it earlier.”


    Lucian then turned around and instructed Catalina, “Prepare the guest room for Ms. Pearson.”


    Aubree was naturally delighted by the turn of events.


    Just as I expected. Lucian’s attitude toward me will soften as long as I demonstrate through my actions


    that I have Essie’s best interest at heart. From the looks of it, my days in the Farwell residence won’t be


    as painful


    anymore.
