Catching sight of Estella having her meal gloomily, Lucian could not restrain himself from questioning, “Essie, what's the matter? Why're you unhappy?”
Estella pouted her lips and grumbled, “You don't like Ms. Jarvis anymore.”
Flabbergasted, Lucian was silent for a few seconds before querying desperately, “What makes you say that?”
Down in the dumps, Estella stared at him. “We can finally meet Ms. Jarvis during the anniversary celebration,
but you don't seem to look forward to it at all.”
Lucian's brows twitched uncontrollably as he refuted, “That's not true.”
Estella threw him a glance doubtfully. Daddy didn't look excited at all in the car just now. Even when he's denying it now, he doesn't look glad at all. He's bluffing!
Sensing Estella's doubt, Lucian frowned resignedly. “I only can't help thinking we can't carry on like this.”
Perplexed, Estella tilted her head.
Lucian stroked Estella’s head affectionately. Deep down, he knew he needed her help to mend his relationship with Roxanne. Oh! Why don't I make things clear with her now?
“Essie, you like Ms. Jarvis, don't you? Since she's paying no heed to us, don't you think we should take the initiative first?” He guided her patiently.
Estella nodded fervently.
“Essie, if Ms. Jarvis shows up during the anniversary celebration, go to look for her, okay?” Lucian asked.
