Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 989 What Brings You Here

Estella nodded at Archie and Benny obediently. “Essie!” Just as the three children were chatting up a storm, someone suddenly called out to Estella from a distance.

The three children turned to look toward the direction of the voice in unison. Since Lucian was out sick, there was no way he would come pick up Estella.

By that logic, Catalina was likely the one who had come to fetch her. However, when they saw the person who was approaching, surprise tinged their expressions. One by one, they frowned.

The person who called out to Estella was Aubree. Paying no heed to Archie and Benny, Aubree strode toward Estella directly. “Essie, your father is still sick, so I came to pick you up in his stead.”

Aubree reached out, intending to take Estella’s hand.

Estella pursed her lips. A reluctant look spread across her face when she saw the woman’s outstretched hand and she silently hid her hands behind her back.

Frowning slightly, Aubree admonished the little girl, “Essie.” Sensing the veiled threat in Aubree’s tone, Estella ran toward the boys and carefully hid behind them.

She would rather follow Lysa to Roxanne’s place than return with Aubree.
