Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1058

Chapter 1058 Who Are You

Even though Roxanne and Lucian knew what Archie would say, they were still moved when they heard the boy actually put his thoughts into words.

After looking down at Archie, Roxanne silently shifted her gaze to Lucian. If possible, I, too, wish Essie could stay a moment longer, at least until she calms down.

Unfortunately, she knew she had no right to make such a request. Only after keeping quiet for a few seconds did Lucian turn to meet Roxanne’s gaze.

Clenching her fists, Roxanne then looked away and pretended to be calm. “What do you think, Ms. Jarvis?” inquired Lucian in his deep voice.

Roxanne reluctantly replied, “I have no say in the matter since Essie is your child, Mr. Farwell. However, I do hope that you’ll respect her wishes.”

Since Roxanne did not intend to request him to let Estella stay, Lucian nodded understandingly in response and turned to Estella. “Then you should come home with me.”

Estella had just stopped crying, but after hearing her father’s words, her face began to scrunch up again.

Seeing how the girl was about to burst into tears once again, Benny and Archie got upset at Lucian. Daddy knew Essie isn’t in a good mood, but he’s still forcing her.

“Essie doesn’t want to go back,” protested Benny, confronting his father with determination.

Lucian was somewhat surprised by the boy’s sudden statement.

Then, Archie also stepped forward to shield Estella with his body.

Even though he did not utter a word, his intention was crystal clear.

As Roxanne spoke, she reciprocated Estella’s grip on her hand and found out that the little girl’s palm was already sweating.

Heartbroken, Roxanne stated, “I know what you guys are thinking, but some things require time, especially considering Essie’s condition.”

Then, Lucian spoke straightforwardly, his words striking the sore spot in Roxanne’s heart. “And who are you to concern yourself with Essie like that?”

The desire in Roxanne to speak up immediately dissipated when she heard Lucian. Her lips parted, but no words came out of her mouth; all she could do was tighten her grip on Estella’s hand to comfort the girl.

Then, Lucian shifted his attention to Estella. “Come home with me. Mr. Lann will be coming over in the evening.”

Since Estella had been so emotionally unstable recently, Lucian decided to summon James for professional help.

However, Estella shook her head vigorously in response and cried so hard that she could barely breathe properly.
