At the Farwell residence, Lucian stood outside Estella's room for a long time after hanging up. Devoid of expression, he was preoccupied with the snippets of Roxanne alongside another man. Hmph! That hard-hearted woman left without a second thought six years ago, and I've been tracking her down for six years'.
Now that Roxanne was back, Lucian would never let her be closely acquainted with other men. He had already blown a gasket after seeing her interactions with Larry several times lately. Since she'll collaborate with Jack Damaris, they'll cross paths more often inevitably. If something happens between them...
At the thought of that, Lucian's face turned grim. It was as though there was a drastic drop in the temperature around him. No way! I won't let that happen! As for Roxanne, I can't let her continue avoiding me!
Because of Jonathan's first-hand information, Lucian had been racking his brain the following days on how he could mend his relationship with Roxanne. He had been sending Estella to and fetching her from the kindergarten lately, hoping to run into Roxanne so he could talk things out with her.
Unexpectedly, she did not show up at all in the following days. As a result, Lucian could not help but despise himself for having such a ridiculous idea. I have lost count of the days she's been trying to hide from me. Even Estella has accepted the indisputable fact that she might not be able to meet her again. Why am I still anticipating bumping into her here?
“Daddy.” Estella's mellifluous voice sounded abruptly in the car when Lucian fell into a trance.
He furrowed his brows as he regained his composure before turning to look at Estella quizzically.
Seeing that she had managed to attract her father's attention, Estella uttered sweetly, “Ms. Ward told us that our kindergarten will hold an anniversary celebration.”
Lucian nodded. “What about it?”
Needless to say, he was aware of it. As he had invested in the kindergarten, the management had requested his permission when they planned to organize the event. However, he could not fathom why Estella suddenly brought up the subject.
There was unmissable anticipation in Estella's eyes as she piped up, “Ms. Ward told us everyone has to perform during the anniversary celebration. Our parents have to join too!"
