Upon hearing her father's words, Estella pursed her lips tightly as she desperately held back her tears.
I can't cry! If Daddy and Ms. Jarvis have fallen out with each other, I will definitely not be able to see her anymore. It's up to me alone to help them reconcile.
In that instant, Estella remembered the boys' advice to her—strive to grow stronger.
Throughout the journey home, Estella did not shed a single tear.
When Lucian carried her out of the car upon their arrival, he was surprised by the look on her face.
Despite looking as if she would burst into tears any second, she was tenaciously holding them back.
Lucian wondered what had caused such a big change in her.
When he tried to hold her hand, expecting her to refuse, Estella obediently let him hold it.
Filled with complicated emotions, Lucian led Estella back into the mansion.
The moment they entered, they saw Sonya, whose face was contorted, seated on the couch.
“If you had come back any later, I would've gone to pick Essie up myself!”
Sonya glared at her son before shifting her gaze toward Estella. “Essie, come here and give Grandma a hug.”
Even though Estella had changed a lot, the fear she had for Sonya didn't diminish one bit.
Sonya's words caused her to hide meekly behind Lucian.
Lucian called out to Catalina, “Take Essie upstairs.”
