Catalina quickly comforted her by saying, “It's okay. Have a good rest, Ms. Estella. I'll massage your eyes for you.”
Estella nodded aggrievedly and leaned against Lucian's chest.
The look in Lucian's eyes was pitch-dark when he took a glance at Estella.
After a while, Estella finally regained her senses. When she did, she recalled what had happened before she fell asleep.
“Daddy, where's Ms. Jarvis?” Estella tugged at Lucian's shirt. Before I fell asleep, Mr. Lann had told me Ms. Jarvis would come back to see me in a short while.
Lucian didn't expect Estella to suddenly mention Roxanne. His gaze turned grim right away, and he didn't know how to answer Estella's question. If Essie knows Roxanne isn't here because I didn't allow her to come, she's going to become agitated. However, I can't lie to Essie.
“Is Ms. Jarvis not here yet?” Estella threw Catalina an innocent glance.
Thinking about Roxanne's previous two visits, Catalina subconsciously glanced at Lucian.
At that moment, Lucian was expressionless.
Seeing that, Catalina hesitated for a while before shaking her head. “I think Ms. Jarvis is still busy. Wait a while longer, okay, Ms. Estella?”
Upon hearing that, Estella lowered her gaze in disappointment. I thought I would see Ms. Jarvis the moment I woke up.
“Daddy.” Again, Estella tugged at Lucian's shirt sheepishly.
Lucian lowered his head and met Estella's gaze.
With an innocent expression, Estella asked, “Daddy, could you call Ms. Jarvis? Could you get her to come earlier?”
Lucian's gaze darkened as soon as he heard those words. After that, he kept mum.
