Chapter 822 Clean Up The Mess After Her
Estella nodded obediently upon hearing her father’s words. Lucian lifted Estella into his arms before returning to Roxanne’s place. Just as they reached the entrance, they saw Roxanne’s car reaching the gates of the residential area.
Lucian could recognize Roxanne’s car right away, and the moment he did, the temperature around him dropped. Essie was sobbing so badly because of her, but the only thing on her mind is her appointment with Jack. Is work that important to her?
In the living room, Archie and Benny were about to open the door to look for Estella after the long wait. To their surprise, right as they opened the door, they were greeted by the sight of their grim father with Estella in his arms.
Estella peeked into the living room when the door opened, but she saw no traces of Roxanne around. “Where’s Ms. Jarvis?” Estella asked, her eyes still red. “Is Ms. Jarvis not back yet because she’s out looking for me?”
After that, she patted her father’s shoulder and said anxiously, “Daddy, hurry up and give Ms. Jarvis a call and tell her to come back!”
She was afraid that Roxanne would panic if the latter could not find her outside.
Playing along with her, Lucian took out his phone.
Archie and Benny exchanged a look before starting apologetically, “Mr. Farwell, you don’t need to call Mommy. She just… left.”
After that, they urgently explained their mother’s actions. “Mommy wanted to stay and wait for you to come back, but we could see how upset Mommy was, so we persuaded her to go to work.”
At that, Estella teared up again.
“Don’t be sad, Essie. Mommy knows that she was wrong. She’s sad too,” Archie and Benny promptly consoled Estella.
Lucian put Estella back down on the ground to let the boys continue talking to her.
However, Estella kept her head down, one of her hands grabbing tightly on a corner of her father’s shirt.
Archie exchanged a glance with Benny. With a frown, Archie stepped forward and grabbed the girl’s other hand. He promised, “Mommy will be back once she’s done with work. Once she’s back, she’ll surely apologize to you. Don’t be sad anymore, Essie.”
Hearing that, Estella lifted her head and looked at Archie and Benny dubiously.
Without missing a beat, Benny chimed in, “Essie, why don’t you wait for Mommy to come back with us?”
Then he glanced at Lucian and asked, “Mr. Farwell, can Essie stay with us today?”
Lucian gave them a glance before fixing his eyes on Estella.
Estella had already let go of him and inched toward Archie and Benny.
Evidently, she wanted to wait for Roxanne to return.
Lucian could read her mind, and that only made him feel even more frustrated with Roxanne. Nevertheless, his tone was steady when he spoke. “Be good and stay home. Don’t open the door for strangers.”
The children could hear the agreement in his answer, so they inclined their heads obediently.
Only after Lucian watched them enter the mansion and close the door did he get into his car and leave.
Shortly after, the black Bentley sped off toward the Queen residence.
When he was on his way there, the anger in Lucian grew.
What is Roxanne thinking? How can she let those two boys clean up the mess after her? Is work that vital to her?
