An Insult
Tears streamed down Estella’s face as she sobbed, “Ms. Jarvis, please forgive Daddy!” Roxanne’s
eyes flickered.
She had just promised to stay out of Estella’s matters, but the little girl’s tears nearly caused her to go
back on her word. A brief hesitation later, she reached out to wipe Estella’s tears away.
“Essie, don’t cry. I…” Roxanne had wanted to explain that she wasn’t mad at Lucian, but after
remembering what he had said earlier, she couldn’t bring herself to say that aloud.
As she began to speak, Lucian raised an eyebrow and appeared eager to hear her words. However,
she left her sentence unfinished even after he waited for a while.
Lucian’s face turned as dark as thunder, while Estella’s cries grew louder.
Roxanne opened her mouth wordlessly. She felt sorry for Estella and looked up at Lucian, signaling for
him to comfort Estella.
The moment she did so, she spotted the blazing fury in his eyes.
When their eyes met, Roxanne felt her heart skip a beat.
“That’s it. Essie, come. Let’s go home.”
Lucian looked away and bent down to take Estella’s hand.
Estella was already flustered by their fight. Hearing her father’s tone, she knew their disagreement had
escalated.
She began crying her lungs out.
Archie and Benny ran up the stairs hastily. “What’s wrong, Essie?”
Roxanne’s stress levels had already been pushed to their limit by Lucian and Estella. The boys’ arrival
was the last thing she needed.
She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, trying to remain calm as she spoke in a soft voice. “It’s
nothing. You guys wait downstairs.”
Confusion crossed the boys’ faces.
However, they nodded obediently and trotted down the stairs, as Roxanne’s expression was grim.
Roxanne confronted Lucian. “What was that, Mr. Farwell? Even if you want Essie to sever ties with me,
this isn’t the way to go about it!”
Lucian averted his gaze, his features unreadable. “You agreed to cut ties with Essie, so how it
happened doesn’t matter, right?”
With that, he spun around and strode down the stairs with Estella in his arms.
“Lucian!” Roxanne yelled.
For some reason, she felt that the man seemed decisive as she watched him walk away.
He was acting as if they were strangers.
To be exact, he made it seem as though they were sworn enemies.
Something told Roxanne if she were to let them leave, she might not see them again in the future.
That was what she had always wanted, but now that the moment had arrived, she felt a sharp pang in
her heart.
Downstairs, Lucian halted in his tracks as she wished and turned over his shoulder. His voice dripped
with disdain as he asked, “Ms. Jarvis, is there anything else you need?”
Before she could answer, he continued mockingly, “Don’t tell me you changed your mind and want to
interfere in Essie’s matters again. If that’s the case, you should consider my suggestion.”
A deep line appeared between Roxanne’s brows when she heard his words.
His suggestion is the same as his previous ones. He wants me to be Essie’s mother. This time,
however, he didn’t mention Aubree’s name. This is obviously an insult!
His composed attitude made her clench her fists and suppress her anger.
