The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 271

Naturally, Estella refused.

Aubree stood up and glanced at Lucian. “Lucian, I'll go downstairs and ask the receptionist. Let's get another room if it's possible.”

Estella turned around and shot Lucian an expectant look, hoping he would reject Aubree's suggestion.

There was a dark and unfathomable look in Lucian's eyes.

Even if I refuse Aubree's suggestion to switch rooms, Roxanne will surely make the same decision once she comes back. After all, she didn't seem too receptive to Ms. Ward's suggestion of sharing rooms yesterday. Now that Aubree's here today, Roxanne will only want to avoid me more.

Considering the possible reactions Roxanne would make, Lucian seemed to have silently accepted Aubree's suggestion.

Not getting a single response from Lucian and seeing Aubree actually walking out to request a change of room made Estella stomp her feet in anger. She then followed Aubree into the elevator.

Aubree was stunned. “Essie, why are you here? You can just wait with your daddy in the room.”

Estella merely lowered her head without responding to Aubree's words.

Seeing that, Aubree frowned with displeasure and retracted her gaze, pretending as if Estella was not there.

Since they were the only ones in the elevator, Aubree could not be bothered to waste her energy talking to Estella. The latter kept silent, and Aubree, too, did not bother pretending.

Once the elevator stopped on the first floor, the doors opened slowly. At the same time, Aubree's expression changed. She put on a subtle smile, pretending to be kind. Just as she wanted to hold Estella's hand, the latter had already darted out of the elevator, running out of the hotel.

Aubree was too panicked to move. She even forgot to run after her. Even her purpose of going downstairs was lost in her sea of thoughts.

Estella, on the other hand, headed in the direction of the botanical garden.

I don't like this evil Ms. Pearson! I don't like Daddy, too! I'm going to look for Ms. Jarvis!

Just as Aubree was standing frozen in the hotel, she heard a sound behind her.
