Did You Pick On Her
“Mommy!” Concerned about the interaction between the two adults in the house, the children hadn’t
been in the mood to play. The instant they caught sight of Roxanne coming out, they immediately
swarmed over to her.
Roxanne smilingly patted them on the head, but her expression was somewhat distracted.
Clocking the look on the woman’s face, Estella tilted her head in puzzlement. She cast her gaze behind
Roxanne, but she didn’t see any signs of Lucian.
“Did Daddy pick on you, Ms. Jarvis?” she queried cautiously.
The mention of the man in the house made Roxanne unconsciously frown. Feigning a nonchalant
expression, she shook her head with a smile. “Nope.”
Estella stared at her with suspicion written clear in her eyes. “Where is he, then?”
Roxanne turned and glanced in the direction of the living room before replying, “He has just awakened.
Perhaps… he’s still sitting on the couch.”
Having said that, she hastily withdrew her gaze and wanted to change the subject.
Alas, Estella didn’t give her that chance. She persistently questioned, “Can you treat his insomnia, Ms.
Jarvis?”
Roxanne choked.
Because of Lucian’s sudden awakening and what he did after that, she hadn’t the time to take his
pulse. She didn’t even know why he was suffering from insomnia, let alone treat him.
Therefore, that question truly had her caught between a rock and a difficult place.
Seemingly aware that she wouldn’t be able to answer that, Estella looked at her for a long while before
declaring firmly, “He picked on you, Ms. Jarvis!”
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be unable to answer my question at all. At the very least, she would have been
able to either say yes or no. Her expression now makes it apparent that she didn’t even have the
chance to diagnose his problem. They must have had a row again!
At that thought, she pouted in chagrin. “Daddy is such a jerk!”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne’s wrath and embarrassment finally dissipated. She found the situation
rather hilarious.
For some inexplicable reason, she’s biased toward me, so much so that she’s certain Lucian picked on
me without asking any questions about whatever happened.
“Don’t be angry, Ms. Jarvis. I’ll avenge you!” Estella gingerly tugged at the hem of Roxanne’s shirt.
Seeing her solemn expression, the smile on Roxanne’s face turned genuine. “I’m not angry, and your
daddy didn’t pick on me either. Calm down, Essie.”
While saying that, she stroked Estella’s head soothingly.
Still, the little girl scrutinized her for a long moment.
To convince her, Roxanne bit the bullet and added, “I’ll check him out later regarding his insomnia. It
shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Estella believed her half-dubiously upon hearing her remark.
Roxanne chatted with the children for some time. When she noticed it was getting late, she brought
them back into the mansion.
Unsurprisingly, Lucian was still sitting on the couch, but this time, he was dealing with work matters
while wearing a frown.
When he heard them coming in, he lifted his eyes and cast his gaze over.
“Daddy.” For once, Estella voluntarily let go of Roxanne’s hand and went over to her father.
Lucian regarded his daughter in mystification, wondering what she was up to.
Estella climbed onto the couch unhurriedly and leaned close to her father’s ear. In a whisper, she
demanded, “Did you pick on Ms. Jarvis earlier?”
After asking that, she pulled away from him. Sticking her hands on her hips, she shot daggers at her
father as though interrogating a suspect.
