Chapter 172
The cars in the front started moving again, so Roxanne lifted her leg from the brakes
and set her eyes on the road.
Everything felt even more ironic when she recalled Lucian’s expression. “Aren't you
engaged to Ms.
Pearson? Don't you feel that it's inappropriate to be so close to me because of Essie?’’
Besides, he doesn't even know who Essie's biological mother is.
The more she dwelled on the matter, the more outrageous she thought he was.
How dare he nag me?
Lucian didn't expect her to bring Estella up, so he looked a little conflicted and replied
ambiguously, “That’s not the same thing.”
After all, Estella was her daughter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe sneered, “What's different? Besides, we have no other connection other than Essie, and we're not even friends.
It's my right to decide who I wish to be friends with. It has nothing to do with you. Don't you think you're being a
little too controlling?”
As soon as she said that, the temperature in the car dropped.
Lucian's expression darkened as he stared into the distance. After that, he didn't say anything else during the entire
trip.
Similarly, Roxanne pursed her lips tightly, and her mind was all over the place while she had the same expression
on her face as Lucian.
Both of them stayed silent for the rest of their journey.
Lucian didn't tell her where he wanted to go, so she drove back to her home.
Without waiting for him to say anything, she opened the car door and got out of the car.
Seconds later, Lucian got out of the passenger seat too.
“Since Essie’s condition is basically stabilized now, it’s not very appropriate for her to keep staying here. Mr. Farwell,
if it's convenient for you, you should bring her back.” Roxanne had considered it throughout the journey. Despite
her reluctance to be separated from Estella, Roxanne made that decision in the end.
She was a little tired of the fact that Lucian would go to her house once every few days because Estella was staying
with her.
I've told him clearly from the beginning when we first met that we’re already strangers, but lately, he kept showing
up in front of me and even did that during Old Mr. Queen's birthday banquet. I'm really confused. What's our
relationship right now, anyway? Besides, it's obvious that Archie and Benny, especially Benny, have gotten closer to
him.
Benny had already taken a liking to him at the beginning. Moreover, the last two times Lucian gave Benny and
Archie gifts made them even more fond of him. As such, Roxanne was afraid that Benny would tell Lucian
everything about her one day.
With Lucian's intelligence, he would definitely find out that Archie and Benny were his when the time came.
Roxanne didn’t even dare to think about what would happen after that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was still no response from Lucian after some time, so she added, “Besides, it
seems that Mrs. Farwell doesn't want Essie to stay with me...”
She didn't know why, but she felt that Lucian was staring at her with a strange look in
his eyes.
Unbidden, she stopped talking.
Lucian gave Roxanne one last glance before he walked away without saying anything.
Seeing his disappearing silhouette, she opened her mouth. Instead of saying anything,
she let out a quiet sigh before turning around and walking into the mansion.
Once she got into the mansion, Archie, Benny, and Estella pounced on her happily.
Roxanne squatted down out of habit, spread her arms, and the three of them jumped in
for a hug.
As Roxanne felt the warmth in her arms and took in the sweet scent of the three
children, her heart melted instantly. She tightened her hug and pulled them closer to
her as her worries disappeared.
