Lucian's expression darkened, and he stared attentively at Roxanne. However, he couldn't identify any trace of disingenuousness.
Lucian looked away eventually, his heart throttled, and he was swarmed by a wave of confusion.
All this while, Roxanne thought that Estella was Aubree's child!
He was under the impression that Estella was abandoned by Roxanne. When Roxanne acted aloof toward Estella when she returned to the country, Lucian thought that Roxanne was a cold-hearted woman.
However, from the way she spoke earlier, she seemed to not know that Estella was her child.
What is going on?
Or is she such a great actor that she's managed to deceive me?
Lucian was perplexed and dumbfounded.
It was only after a long time that Lucian managed to recollect his thoughts. He held on to her slender wrist, lowered his voice, and uttered word-by-word in precise clarity, “Since when did I say that Estella is Aubree's child?”
Roxanne's wrist started to hurt, but she was distracted by his mindblowing statement. Shock and suspicion filled her heart.
Estella is not Aubree's child!
No wonder Aubree was not there that day when Estella was sick.
However, from what she knew, no one else got together with Lucian besides Aubree.
Who can it be? Who's Estella's mother?
The thoughts started to overwhelm Roxanne, and she struggled to resist popping the question.
“Mommy!” two familiar voices called out to Roxanne. “We finally found you! Are you okay?”
The children ran frantically toward Roxanne, whose wrist was clutched tightly by Lucian.
