Estella pursed her lips and fell silent for a long moment before slowly shaking her head.
I still like Daddy, but...
“Daddy lied. Daddy is a bad person.”
A smile finally broke out on James' face. “You're angry with your daddy, but your daddy is angry with Ms. Jarvis.”
Estella immediately shook her head. “Daddy cannot be angry with Ms. Jarvis.”
James was astonished.
He knew Estella was exceedingly fond of Roxanne, but he did not realize it was to this extent.
Lucian must be exasperated.
Seeing that Estella was going to lose her cool again, James uttered hastily, “I'll punish him for you. He knows he's in the wrong too.”
Estella calmed down, but she remained sullen. “I want Ms. Jarvis as my mommy. I don't want anyone else!”
James glanced at the door. He could only agree on Lucian's behalf. “Okay. Only Ms. Jarvis.”
Estella finally quieted down and lay on James' shoulder, sniffling occasionally.
James glanced at Estella and gently touched her eyes. “Do you feel awful?”
Estella nodded between her sobs.
Not only did she feel awful, but her eyes also hurt.
James stood up and brought a pocket watch over. He patted Estella's hair and comforted her, “How about you sleep for a while?”
Estella was reluctant, but she nodded obediently in response.
