Mission To Remarry novel Chapter 679

Chapter 679 She Will Run Away

Roxanne had only snapped out of her own thoughts and took over the bouquet of flowers because of the girl’s voice. She glanced at the man before her and muttered softly, “Thank you.”

The little girl beamed sweetly when Roxanne accepted the flowers. Nevertheless, Lucian remained impassive and urged Estella, “Close the door. We should head back now.”

Estella nodded and reached out to close the door. “Mr. Farwell, Essie is still a child. Please be more gentle when you talk to her.” Roxanne could not stop herself from reminding Lucian again.

After spending more time with the father and daughter duo, Roxanne realized that even though Lucian was meticulous in caring for the little girl, his tone was sometimes too harsh on her.

Roxanne’s boys would even get startled by his stern tone sometimes, not to mention Estella, who needed more attentive care.

She had only reminded him out of goodwill. Yet, she got a rather ambiguous reply from the man. “Essie doesn’t need me to be more gentle. She needs a mother. If you’re truly worried about her, why don’t you reconsider what I’ve said?”

Roxanne’s face stiffened slightly. She cast a glance at Estella, who had overheard their conversation.

The little girl cocked her head to one side and blinked in confusion, pretending as if she did not understand a single thing.

Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief. Nonetheless, she still did not know how to reply to him.

“Essie, close the door.” Lucian did not expect her to reply and asked the little girl to close the door.

Roxanne took a step backward with Archie and Benny. After the door was closed, Lucian slowly drove away.

Roxanne stood grounded even when the car was already out of sight as she kept replaying Lucian’s words in her head.
