Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 1121

Aubree followed Estella closely into the room. Hesitantly, she muttered, “Lucian…”

She felt somewhat guilty when she noticed the young girl fuming at Lucian.

At the same time, she was relieved that Estella had not said a word to her father.

Lucian nodded at Aubree and said, “Sorry for troubling you to look after Essie.”

Aubree was delighted by his words. She sputtered, “Not at all. I’m happy to do this. Essie’s a lovely girl.”

As for how she upset Estella in the car earlier, Aubree decided to sweep things under the rug if the young girl kept things to herself.

“Dinner’s ready. Why don’t you eat with us?” Lucian offered.

Aubree was over the moon. “Sure.”

They entered the dining room one after another.

Catalina had already set the table for three.

Aubree said, “I’ll go get Essie.”

Despite her suggestion, she was not confident about coaxing Estella downstairs.

After all, the young girl was put out because of Aubree, and she might not listen to her instructions.
