Meanwhile, Lucian and Estella were on the way home.
As both father and daughter had things on their minds, there was silence in the car.
Estella was sitting in the back as she stared at her bracelet made from shells on her wrist. Her tiny face tensed up as she felt worried.
“Daddy, is Ms. Jarvis trying to avoid us again?” Estella could not help but ask after a long moment of hesitation.
Even though Roxanne had promised her that she could visit, Estella was still afraid that Roxanne would continue to avoid them in the future.
Estella's words were exactly what Lucian was thinking of. After a few moments of silence, he replied, “I don't know.” His heart was full of mixed feelings.
Upon hearing that, Estella pursed her lips in disappointment. “Am I not good enough?” she carefully asked.
She remembered her father had told her that Roxanne would not avoid them if she behaved.
And Roxanne seemed to really like her these two days. She even gave Estella a gift.
Upon thinking of that, Estella became even more sorrowful as she held on tightly to the bracelet on her wrist.
Lucian frowned as frustration grew in his heart.
He really did not know what Roxanne was thinking.
She was fine earlier and even exchanged gifts with Estella happily. However, she suddenly became distant and got up to leave.
Lucian had no clue of the reason behind her change of emotions.
The more he was rejected by Roxanne, the more he hated his actions from six years ago.
Roxanne's drunken words from that night were still replaying in his mind.
Six years ago, she was utterly in love with him. But all he did in return was to let her leave.
The atmosphere in the car was tense.
