Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 56

Lucian gathered his thoughts and followed Archie into the mansion.

As soon as he entered, he spotted Estella sitting on the carpet with her full attention on the Lego bricks before her. There was also a little boy next to her who looked just like the one who had opened the door for him.

Twins, huh?

With a darkened gaze, Lucian looked away from the boys and scanned the rest of the living room instead.

Roxanne was nowhere to be found.

“Your daddy's here,” Archie called out to Estella coldly after walking back in, his once-friendly demeanor having vanished completely.

Upon hearing that, Estella stopped whatever she was doing and glanced up at Lucian who stood not far from her.

But right after seeing him, she retracted her gaze and began to write something in her notebook.

Lucian and the boys stared at her.

Both Archie and Benny were reluctant to see her leave, but now that her father had arrived, there was no reason for them to let her stay.

Lucian's browed knitted. He knew what the little girl was about to tell him.

Soon, Estella raised her notebook.

I don't want to go home yet.

As he had expected.

The crease between Lucian's brows deepened as his voice soon became laced with displeasure. “Estella Farwell, you left home without a word. Don't you think you ought to give me an explanation? This is the second time you've run away from home this month. Why on earth did you do it?”

Estella met his eyes stubbornly before looking down to scribble on her notebook again: I like Ms. Jarvis. I like Archie and Benny. I want to be friends with them!

A look of mockery flashed in Lucian's eyes as he read that. “You like them, but have you ever asked them if they like you? You came running to their house like this and disrupted their lives. Don't you know how rude that is?” he asked sternly.

Estella pursed her lips and turned to the two boys carefully.
