She Will Run Away
Roxanne had only snapped out of her own thoughts and took over the bouquet of flowers because of
the girl’s voice. She glanced at the man before her and muttered softly, “Thank you.”
The little girl beamed sweetly when Roxanne accepted the flowers. Nevertheless, Lucian remained
impassive and urged Estella, “Close the door. We should head back now.”
Estella nodded and reached out to close the door. “Mr. Farwell, Essie is still a child. Please be more
gentle when you talk to her.” Roxanne could not stop herself from reminding Lucian again.
After spending more time with the father and daughter duo, Roxanne realized that even though Lucian
was meticulous in caring for the little girl, his tone was sometimes too harsh on her.
Roxanne’s boys would even get startled by his stern tone sometimes, not to mention Estella, who
needed more attentive care.
She had only reminded him out of goodwill. Yet, she got a rather ambiguous reply from the man. “Essie
doesn’t need me to be more gentle. She needs a mother. If you’re truly worried about her, why don’t
you reconsider what I’ve said?”
Roxanne’s face stiffened slightly. She cast a glance at Estella, who had overheard their conversation.
The little girl cocked her head to one side and blinked in confusion, pretending as if she did not
understand a single thing.
Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief. Nonetheless, she still did not know how to reply to him.
“Essie, close the door.” Lucian did not expect her to reply and asked the little girl to close the door.
Roxanne took a step backward with Archie and Benny. After the door was closed, Lucian slowly drove
away.
Roxanne stood grounded even when the car was already out of sight as she kept replaying Lucian’s
words in her head.
He said he wouldn’t force me against my will, yet he said something like that right in front of Estella.
Roxanne reckoned that he was still mad about her and Jack’s relationship.
Well, I did run right into the line of fire.
That gave her a headache.
“Mommy, let’s go in!” Archie and Benny recalled Lucian’s words and were afraid that their mother might
catch a cold.
Roxanne snapped out of her thoughts and nodded at her kids before bringing them into the mansion.
The boys urged her to take a hot shower after they got back home.
In the meantime, on the way back to the Farwell residence, Estella sat in her child car seat and pursed
her lips into a thin hard line as she stared at the back of Lucian’s head.
Lucian could feel Estella’s burning gaze on the back of his head. He furrowed his brows and asked,
“What’s wrong? Weren’t you all right just now?”
Noticing that her father was finally talking to her, Estella said in a huff, “Why were you so stern toward
Ms. Jarvis? She’s going to run away if you keep doing that!”
Lucian frowned in response. He could not help but notice how much Estella resembled Roxanne in her
mannerism. After all, Roxanne had also reminded him to be more gentle toward Estella.
This mother-and-daughter duo really does have each other’s backs, huh?
“No. I just want her to reconsider my offer. I’ve only said it like that so that she’ll take it seriously,”
Lucian explained. He was feeling rather exasperated with himself.
