Chapter 787 I Did Not Lie To You

Estella faked a nod, turning to the boys and flashing them a grin. Thanks to Lucian’s sudden appearance, Roxanne felt less guilty toward the children. However, she felt stressed all the same.

Finally, lunch was over. Roxanne had thought Lucian would bring Estella home after lunch. However, to her surprise, Estella was reluctant to leave.

Roxanne had no choice but to let Estella stay and play for a while before seeing them off. That day, Estella was extremely happy. Not only did she get to play at Roxanne’s house, but she also found out that Aubree was gone.

Estella was grinning from ear to ear during their journey back to the manor. Lucian, on the other hand, felt conflicted when he saw how happy Estella looked through the rearview mirror.

“Daddy, Benny says you and Ms. Jarvis were in the living room last night. Is that true?” Estella finally asked the question that had been nagging at her all day.
