Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 1121

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

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.”

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.
