Jonathan had wanted to try persuading him further, but Lucian cut him off, “I have a meeting to attend. We'll talk about this some other time.”
Jonathan had no choice but to get up and leave the office.
After stepping out of Farwell Group, Jonathan thought about the advice he had given Lucian earlier and regretted every single word he said.
If I had known things were that bad between them, I would've changed the way I worded my sentences! Now, look what I've done! Not only did Roxanne show no interest in Lucian whatsoever, but he has also given up on winning her over! Honestly, I feel really bad for Essie. She really likes Roxanne and wants her to become her mother someday. The best part about this is the fact that Roxanne is her biological mother. However, she's in for a huge disappointment, as Lucian has already given up on winning her over. There's only so much a child like Essie can handle...
Of course, Lucian had thought about the exact same thing.
He showed up outside the kindergarten later that afternoon.
Pippa quickly brought Estella to the front gate after receiving his call.
“Mr. Farwell, why—”
She was going to ask Lucian why he wanted to bring Estella home all of a sudden but held her tongue when she saw his gloomy expression.
“I mean, I've already approved Essie's leave...”
Lucian nodded and motioned for Estella to come with him.
Estella was somewhat reluctant to leave. “Do we have to go home right now, Daddy? Could I at least wait till school is over?”
She wanted to at least say goodbye to Archie and Benny before going home.
Lucian nodded expressionlessly. “Come here.”
Estella had no choice but to do as told and stepped out of the school. “Ms. Ward, could you please tell Archie and Benny that I'm going home now?”
“Okay!” Pippa replied with a smile.
