The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 255

Seeing that there was no other alternative at that point, Lucian nodded in agreement.

Hence, Pippa gathered the other parents and asked who would be willing to share their room with Lucian.

Estella was holding Lucian's hand, and when she heard what Pippa said, she instantly glanced toward Roxanne.

I want to sleep with the beautiful Ms. Jarvis!

With Lucian's identity and exceptional good looks, it did not take long for a group of parents to swarm forward and express their willingness to let him share their rooms.

There were even some ladies who rushed over with their children.

Due to her autism, Estella paled when she found herself surrounded by a group of strangers.

She broke free from his grasp and darted away when Lucian was not paying attention.

She ran straight into Roxanne, who happened to be standing at the periphery while waiting. Lifting her gaze, Estella stared at her.

“What's the matter, Essie?” Roxanne could not help feeling worried when she saw the expression on the girl's face.

Estella grabbed the hem of Roxanne's skirt and declared with a determined look in her eyes, “Stay with Ms. Jarvis!”

Hearing that, Roxanne froze.

If it were only Essie, naturally, I wouldn't refuse. However, if I agree to let her stay with us, it'll mean that Lucian will be in the same room too!

Roxanne had no idea how she would bring herself to face such a situation.

Lucian was about to get Estella to come back after seeing her run off. However, a sudden realization struck him when he saw that she had gone to Roxanne.

Estella doesn't know any parents here except for Roxanne. If I don't want her to get scared, the only solution is to stay with Roxanne. However, I don't know what Roxanne thinks about this.

I thought he'd think the same way as me... I didn't expect he would take the initiative to make such a request of me...
