Chapter 595
Lucian had arrived at the Farwell residence with Estella.
Since it was getting late, he sent her to her bed to sleep.
“Daddy,” she said just as he stood and was about to leave.
Lucian halted his movements, turned around, and sat next to Estella’s bed again. “What’s wrong?”
It was obvious she was already sleepy, but she still suppressed her drowsiness and looked at her father. “Does Ms. Jarvis like us?”
After all, when she went to visit Roxanne with her father, not only did Roxanne not chase them away, but she also didn’t intentionally give him the cold shoulders. Lucian’s eyes darkened when he heard that question. He began to recall how distant Roxanne treated him before the children arrived.
“When will we meet Ms. Jarvis again?” Excitement filled Estella’s voice.
He remained silent for a second before patting his daughter’s head. “I’ve been busy with my work lately. Once I am freer, I’ll take you to meet her.”
It was pretty clear Roxanne was still avoiding him, but the misunderstanding had taken root in his daughter’s mind, so he didn’t want her to be disappointed again. The girl really thought Roxanne had accepted her and her father. Thus, she nodded obediently upon hearing that.
Lucian forced a smile. “You should rest early. I’ll be heading out now.”
“Okay!” the girl agreed.
It wasn’t until she was deep in her sleep that he left the room.
Just thinking about the question she posed earlier made his head hurt.
During that period, he used almost every trick in the book in order to close the gap between him and Roxanne but to no avail.
The only thing he could celebrate was that he managed to keep her in the country.
He could tell by their interaction during the night that she was still avoiding him.Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
It was as though Roxanne’s questioning that night still rang in his ear.
Of course, Lucian asked himself that question before.
He wondered why he didn’t appreciate her from six years ago when she was all in love with him.
It’s too late to regret it now. His firigers pinched between his eyebrows with annoyance. What can I do
to improve our relationship?
It was a long while before he stepped away from Estella’s bedroom entrance. Instead of returning to the room, he went downstairs.
“Where are you going so late at night, Mr. Farwell?” Catalina was doing some chores downstairs. Confusion rose in her mind when she saw him descending the stairs. Lucian replied, “Take care of Essie.”
She agreed and watched her employer exit the living room with an awful expression.
The scene confused her as she watched him leave. The last time I saw him like this was when Mrs. Farwell left. What’s going on with him this time?
Upon exiting the mansion, Lucian went into his car and called Jonathan.
Jonathan had already taken a bath and was getting ready to go to bed when suddenly, he received his friend’s call. Thus, he crawled up from his bed and answered, “What’s the matter? Why are you calling me so late at night, Lucian?”
“Come and drink with me.” Lucian’s reply was short and simple.
A conflict brewed in Jonathan’s mind when he heard that. “I’m going to sleep soon. How about another day?”
However, it was as though Lucian didn’t hear him at all. “I’ll wait for you at our usual spot.”
Then, the call ended.
The moment Jonathan heard that, he got off the bed unwillingly. Oh no…
