“Why are you upset? Did I say something wrong?”
Roxanne forced herself to stay calm and looked at him.
She did want to break off ties with the Farwell family, but this wasn't how she expected it to happen.
If I do nothing to stop him from bringing Essie away, no one knows what he'll tell her back home.
Seeing that she didn't seem to know her mistake, Lucian frowned angrily. “How are you wrong? Didn't Essie make it clear? It was my fault.”
With that, he turned to leave.
Roxanne gritted her teeth.
It was obvious he said that out of anger, so she couldn't let him leave in this state.
Lucian was already downstairs when Roxanne finally made up her mind. She quickened her steps and grabbed his sleeves.
As she approached, Estella's cries grew quieter.
Lucian glanced at her hand gripping his sleeve with his dark and inscrutable gaze.
I wonder what she will say.
Roxanne's instincts acted faster than her mind. She stopped him but could not find the words to make him stay.
“If you have nothing to say, please release me, Ms. Jarvis,” Lucian said coldly.
Roxanne was taken aback, as it was a familiar scenario to her.
Previously, she would do the same thing to Lucian whenever he tried to make her stay.
It seemed that they had exchanged roles today, and she was the one getting pushed away.
Roxanne didn't know how to feel about that.
“Don't act recklessly. Let's sit down and talk,” she said weakly a while later.
That seemed to spark Lucian's anger again. He held Estella with one hand and used his other hand to shove her hand away from his sleeve.
