After Lucian came back from Bellridge, he went straight to the Farwell Group. By the time he finished all the piled-up work, it was already evening.
When he was back at the manor, he saw Estella lying on the table in the living room, drawing with such concentration.
At the sight of Lucian, she put down her crayon and walked toward him with short strides.
Lucian leaned over and patted her head, “Do you miss Daddy?”
She nodded.
He started smiling when he saw her response. He then stood up and called for Catalina to enquire on Estella's daily needs for the past two days.
He was relieved when he heard that she has been good.
After greeting Lucian, Estella skittered back to the table and continued drawing.
He went over and took a look, and saw five characters in her drawing. Two boys were being held by a longhaired woman who was wearing a dress, and a little girl was being held by a tall man in black shirt.
With just a glance, Lucian knew who she was drawing.
Reminiscing the past two days with Roxanne, his eyes darkened.
Her desire to leave him was written all over her face.
But she always had a soft spot for Estella.
After noticing that she had finished her drawing, he took out two figurines from the study and set before her. These were bought together with the Lego for Archie and Benny.
Estella tilted her head, looking puzzled.
