In the room, Estella felt upset when she thought of Aubree's expression the moment she walked through the door just now.
I really don't want to stay with Ms. Pearson, but Daddy won't tell me when he will chase her away.
After dwelling on that for quite some time, Estella couldn't hold it back anymore and called Roxanne.
Thankfully, Roxanne answered the call rather quickly.
“Essie, what's the matter?” When Roxanne saw that it was a call from Estella, she couldn't help but feel her heart clench. She was afraid that Aubree had bullied her again.
Hearing Roxanne's voice, Estella felt even more aggrieved. She mumbled sadly, “Ms. Jarvis, can you pick me up from my house?”
Roxanne frowned, her eyes filled with concern. “Why? Did Ms. Pearson get mad at you?”
Estella shook her head. “Daddy is here. She wouldn't dare.”
Only then did Roxanne feel at ease. “Why did you ask me to fetch you, then?” she asked caringly.
It had not been long since Lucian brought Estella back. She thought Estella had been wronged now that she had called all of a sudden.
However, that did not seem to be the case.
Estella pouted. “I don't like Ms. Pearson, but she keeps talking to me.”
I want to avoid Ms. Pearson.
Roxanne sighed inwardly upon hearing her response.
I've promised Essie that I will help her to talk to Lucian. But judging from his reaction just now, I'm not sure if he'd listened to my words or not... At the end of the day, I've still failed to help Essie. If I had known this was going to happen, I would have insisted on letting Essie stay.
