Estella lowered her gaze discreetly and burrowed into Lucian's embrace. Ms. Jarvis smells so much better than Daddy!
Lucian scoffed at the irony of the situation. Essie only likes Roxanne so much because of the bond between a mother and a child.
Little did he know, Roxanne was feeling the same about Estella.
He thought that Roxanne had chosen her job over Estella.
“Daddy, don't feel remorseful, okay?” Estella remembered the phone call that made her cry. In a sheepish and cute tone, she added, “I only want Ms. Jarvis to be my mommy.”
Upon hearing those words, Lucian was reminded of the phone call, and he went silent for a few seconds after Estella repeated the question.
Annoyed, Lucian wanted to refute Estella's words. However, he quickly recalled James' advice. In the end, Lucian took a few seconds to calm himself down.
Once he had suppressed his anger, Lucian replied vaguely, “I won't marry someone you don't like. Besides, I'm not planning on getting married anytime soon.”
“I only like Ms. Jarvis!” Estella's eyes lit up.
In other words, the only woman Lucian could marry was Roxanne because Estella wouldn't like any other woman apart from her.
A bitter look appeared in Lucian's eyes when he heard that. He didn't expect Estella to respond so swiftly.
When Estella said those words, there was a sly look in her eyes as she stared at Lucian.
“I know.” Lucian furrowed his brows helplessly.
