The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 428

Meanwhile, Estella was sprawled on the coffee table, playing with Legos when Lucian returned to the manor.

As she spent a lot of time with Archie and Benny, she was influenced by their habits and had gotten Lucian to buy her plenty of Legos.

Taking into consideration that she would be playing alone, Lucian had bought her a smaller set that fitted perfectly on the coffee table.

Seeing him enter, Estella glanced at the door and got to her feet to welcome him. However, all she did was stand by his side and stared at him in silence.

At the sight of her, Lucian couldn't help but be reminded of Roxanne.

Despite her being overwhelmed by fear on the plane, all she could think of were Archie and Benny. Little does she know that Essie is her daughter too.

Holding that thought, Lucian stroked Estella's head bitterly.

“Ms. Jarvis,” Estella called out all of a sudden.

Stunned, Lucian met her gaze with a frown and gradually retracted his hand.

Estella, with her lips pursed and looking upset, reached out to grab his hand and commented in a piping voice, “The smell on your hand... It belongs to Ms. Jarvis.”

Lucian lowered his head to look at his hand.

Roxanne had held his hand throughout the entire journey on the plane just now.

Wrinkling her nose to take a sniff, Estella walked up to Lucian slowly and stated earnestly, “Daddy, you smell like Ms. Jarvis too.”

Having said that, she pouted unhappily.

Since Daddy is carrying Ms. Jarvis' scent, they must have met each other. I have not seen her in a very long time.

Estella gave her father an angry look before storming back upstairs without a word.

Ms. Jarvis has been avoiding me because of Daddy. But now that she has met with Daddy, she's still unwilling to see me.
