Mission To Remarry novel Chapter 787

Chapter 787 I Did Not Lie To You

Estella faked a nod, turning to the boys and flashing them a grin. Thanks to Lucian’s sudden appearance, Roxanne felt less guilty toward the children. However, she felt stressed all the same.

Finally, lunch was over. Roxanne had thought Lucian would bring Estella home after lunch. However, to her surprise, Estella was reluctant to leave.

Roxanne had no choice but to let Estella stay and play for a while before seeing them off. That day, Estella was extremely happy. Not only did she get to play at Roxanne’s house, but she also found out that Aubree was gone.

Estella was grinning from ear to ear during their journey back to the manor. Lucian, on the other hand, felt conflicted when he saw how happy Estella looked through the rearview mirror.

“Daddy, Benny says you and Ms. Jarvis were in the living room last night. Is that true?” Estella finally asked the question that had been nagging at her all day.

Lucian froze at Estella’s question. Whatever happened last night was done out of his impulse. Now that he thought about it, he reckoned Roxanne must have been taken aback by his actions.

However, it was already too late to regret it. Truth was, Lucian had also pretended to be calm around Roxanne. Now that Estella was asking him about it, he felt an inexplicable wave of emotions forming in his heart.

Without waiting for Lucian’s reply, Estella pressed further sweetly, “Daddy, what were you and Ms. Jarvis talking about so late at night? Did you make her angry again?”

Lucian could feel his head aching as he listened to her. He could imagine who Estella would side with if she found out about her relationship with Roxanne.

“Ms. Jarvis came out to have a glass of water, and we talked about your illness,” answered Lucian solemnly. As to whether he made Roxanne angry, he did not answer that question.

From his point of view, he had merely gone a little overboard when he bullied Roxanne. Did she get angry? Oh, well. It’s too late to worry about that now.

Estella was relieved to hear Lucian’s reply. However, she complained unhappily after that, “Is that all?”
