The sight of Roxanne standing together with the other two reminded Catalina of the past. She wanted them to spend more time together and left after exchanging a few pleasantries.
Soon, only the three of them were left in the living room.
Lucian's eyes darkened as he stared at them.
Sensing his gaze, Roxanne turned slightly and went to the couch to place Estella down.
However, Estella grabbed her shoulders tightly and refused to let her go.
Seeing this, Roxanne sat on the couch with her and said gently, “Essie, be a good girl. You're sick and need to go to bed early. Do you want me to lull you to sleep?”
Estella buried her nose into the crook of Roxanne's neck and shook her head.
Roxanne's brows knitted. “Don't you want to sleep?”
The little girl nodded and turned at her shoulder to point at the notebook on the table.
Roxanne reached out and grabbed the notebook for her. She watched as Estella scribbled something on the notebook.
You'll leave if I fall asleep. I don't want you to leave.
After scribbling that down, Estella pursed her lips unhappily.
Roxanne read what she wrote as
surprise flashed across her eyes.
Is Estella that attached to me?
Lucian had also read Estella's words.
He glanced at Roxanne and said sternly, “Ms. Jarvis has to go home. Be good and go to bed.”
Estella pouted and whipped her head around to seek Roxanne's confirmation.
Roxanne nodded.
The boys were waiting for her at home. Lysa was taking care of them, but she would still worry about them.
