Chapter 1321
When Lucian saw that Roxanne was going to retreat, his gaze swept across Este.
“Do you really have the heart to decline? Essie dreams about having a mother. Could you bear to keep
her waiting? You''ve already been absent from her life for six long years!”
His words left Roxanne totally baffled.
She looked down at Este in shock, wondering what Lucian meant.
Is it what I think it is?
The two kids had yet to realize what Lucian was talking about and simply looked at the two adults
innocently.
Roxanne took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm. Then, she turned to Lucian and asked,
“What are you talking about? What do you mean when you said I''ve been absent from Essie''s life for
six long years? I''m just...”
I was just an outsider to Essie. Why did he say that? The person who has missed out on watching
Essie grow up should be her biological mother, no?
“Lucian, what has gotten into you?”

Sonya never wanted Roxanne to be a part of the Farwell family.
Furthermore, since Este had just gone through an eventful afternoon, Sonya was afraid it would be
too much for the little girl to take if she discovered the truth all within the same day.
Thus, she strode toward Lucian in frustration, trying to prevent him from saying further.
It was then that Cayden stepped forward and blocked her.
“Mrs. Farwell, Mr. Farwell is proposing right now. I think it''s best you leave them alone.”
Cayden''s tone was polite yet assertive. “Don''t you want Ms. Este to grow up having aplete
family?”
Sonya grimaced and shouted, “Get lost! Who do you think you are to meddle with the affairs of the
Farwell family?”
Cayden kept his cool and insisted, “This is the instruction given to me by Mr. Farwell. All you need to do
is to stay where you are and be a witness.”
Although Cayden dared noty a finger on Sonya, he was more than capable to get in the woman''s
way and keep her away from Lucian.
Left with no choice, the livid Sonya could only gaze at the duo from afar.
She could tell that Roxanne was nning to turn Lucian down just now.
However, things might change if Roxanne found out that Este was her daughter.
Before Sonya even had the chance to do something else, Lucian revealed the truth with full confidence.
“Essie is your biological daughter. Six years ago, someone dropped her off at the gate of the Farwell
residence without saying a word. I have done the paternity test, and I have the results to prove that
she''s our daughter.”
Words eluded Roxanne as her body stiffened.
Essie is my daughter?
At that instant, all the moments she had spent with Este ever since she returned to the country
shed across her mind like a slideshow.
Immediately, she teared up.
Now I know why a familiar feeling crept up on me the first time I met her, and there''s no wonder she''s
so attached to me. Essie is my own flesh and blood, my little baby whom I thought was stillborn.
Roxanne was inundated with both joy and sorrow at the same time.
For a long while, she struggled to recollect herself.
Este, who was holding Roxanne''s hand, was also in shock. She, too, could not believe her ears until
Archie and Benny asked questions to rify their rtionship.
“Really? Essie is Mommy''s child? She''s our biological sister?”
Lucian nodded solemnly. Then, he turned to look at Roxanne and Este.
“I''m sorry for keeping this secret from you all these while. I was just worried that if you reject me and
we don''t end up together, both you and Essie would be downright disappointed. Essie, I''m so sorry for
not telling you this earlier. Ms. Jarvis is the mother you''ve always wanted. It''s time you change the way
you address her. She''s no longer your Aunt Roxanne.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, Este burst out crying all of a sudden. She hugged Roxanne''s
thigh tightly and bawled. “Mommy... Mommy...”
