On the way to the kindergarten, Estella sat in the backseat while hugging her backpack with her gaze lowered, looking a little upset.
Aubree was also determined to win the little girl over. At least, they had to appear close on the outside.
Looking at Estella's state through the rearview mirror, she pretended to ask in concern, “Are you not feeling well, Essie? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?”
Estella did not even lift her head upon hearing her voice.
Aubree frowned and continued to express concern in a sweet voice, “How about I excuse you from school, and we head back to rest for the day?”
Despite those words, she still received no reply.
After waiting for a while, Andree grew impatient. “I'm asking you a question, Estella Farwell. What's with that expression? I can't even have a decent conversation with you?”
Hearing her displeased tone, Estella shuddered and hugged her backpack tighter.
Upon noticing Estella's visible resistance to her and recalling Sonya's words the night before regarding the reason Lucian was unwilling to marry her, Aubree grew angrier the more she thought about it.
If it weren't for this little brat's attitude toward me, would Roxanne have any reason to be by Lucian's side now? I also won't have to feel on edge because Roxanne is back in the country!
After thinking for a while, Aubree drove the car to the side of the road in displeasure and slammed on the brakes.
Estella was caught off guard and tipped forward unsteadily. She pursed her lips as she looked up and promptly met Aubree's burning gaze through the rearview mirror.
