Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1058

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.
