Chapter 1087 Make It Up to Her
Lucian sized her up silently for a long while. Upon learning that she had sought a psychologist over the incident,
Lucian looked a lot less hostile. His tone, too, softened when he said, “That’s very thoughtful of you.”
Detecting the change in his voice, Aubree felt her heart go wild in ecstasy. “It was my duty anyway. When I ended
up hitting her, it was no surprise that she didn’t like me. This is all my fault, Lucian, and I’m willing to take
responsibility.”
Unmoved by her words, Lucian continued to speak in an indifferent tone. “In that case, do you want to make it up to
her?”
Aubree nodded without hesitation. “All this while, I have been wanting to apologize to her but didn’t get the
opportunity to do so.”

“Then why don’t you spend some time together? Essie will be home over the next few days, while I’ll be busy with
work. If you have the time, you’re welcome to come over and spend time with her.”
Lucian was implicitly placing Estella in her care.
At that moment, Aubree pinched her palm just to make sure that she wasn’t dreaming.
By asking me to come over and watch Essie while he’s at work, isn’t that the equivalent of granting me access to
the manor whenever I please?
It was a dream come true for Aubree. One that she didn’t imagine could be achieved so easily.
“Essie’s mood has been volatile recently. Since you have learned from the psychologist how to interact with her,
you probably know what must be done. Don’t repeat the same mistake. She can’t afford to suffer any more
emotional shocks.”
Aubree nodded fervently as she listened.
It wasn’t until Lucian finished that Aubree gave him a look of surprise. “Lucian, do you mean… that you’ll continue

with our engagement?”
After frowning in silence for a few seconds, Lucian nodded. “As long as Essie accepts you.”
“Then…” Aubree pretended to be unsettled. “What about Ms. Jarvis? She’s Essie’s birth mother. Do you really not
want to reconcile with her?”
Lucian scowled, springing to his feet abruptly. “Don’t ever mention that woman in front of me! If you still wish to
continue the engagement, then take good care of Essie. As for everything else, don’t stick your nose into them!”
He didn’t want to hear Roxanne’s name being mentioned by anyone.
Aubree was dumbfounded for a few seconds. “Okay, I won’t bring it up again.”
Lucian dismissed her with a wave without even sparing her a glance. “Essie is now in her room. You can drop by if
you wish. If not, you should head on home.”

The moment he finished, he walked up to the full-length window, showing no intention of speaking to Aubree any
further.
His response caused Aubree to freeze, for she wasn’t a fool.
It was obvious to her that Lucian agreeing to continue with the engagement wasn’t on the account of him having
any feelings for her at all.
Instead, he returned to the meaningless engagement simply because he had given up on Roxanne.
Furthermore, it wasn’t a done deal yet, as she was still under probation.
Despite all of that, it was certainly better than him totally ignoring her.
Aubree recovered her composure, her eyes brimming with conviction.
No matter what, she would seize the opportunity to ensure her marriage to Lucian would come to pass.
Aubree broke into a smile as she gradually got up from the couch. “In that case, I won’t take up any more of your
time. I’ll go and see Essie now.”
She turned around and left the moment she finished.
