Chapter 836 Let Us Go Back

Roxanne sensed that Estella was staring at her, but she did not react. Just now, all Cayden said was that Lucian was

busy with work. As Lucian was the CEO of Farwell Group, it was natural for him to be busy.

However, Roxanne felt that Cayden was actually referring to her, insinuating that she had neglected her children as

she was too busy with work. Lucian’s words from that morning rang in her ears again. Is work really that important?

Roxanne kept asking herself the same question. She worked hard because she loved her job, and she also wanted

to provide a better life for her children.

Yet, her good intentions had seemed to backfire on her. “Ms. Jarvis…” Estella noticed Roxanne’s silence and began

tugging at the hem of the latter’s clothes. “I don’t want to go back.”

Roxanne snapped back to her senses and lowered her gaze to eye the little girl.

When she met Estella’s innocent gaze, her heart softened. Nevertheless, she had to coax the girl. “Be a good girl,

Essie. It’s very late, and Mr. Lawson came all the way here to pick you up. You’d better go back with him.”

Estella replied with a pitiful look, “But, we agreed that I’d go back if Daddy came over. If he doesn’t, I’ll stay with

you.”

Roxanne was surprised by her response.

Indeed, Estella was Lucian’s daughter.

Although she did not speak for quite some time due to autism, it did not affect her eloquence after her condition

had improved.

“Well, Daddy sent Mr. Lawson to pick you up.” An amused Roxanne squatted down to regard Estella.

Estella pursed her lips and insisted, “No, I want Daddy to pick me up!”

Then, she turned around to look at Cayden with a woeful expression.

A warm sensation enveloped Cayden’s heart after meeting Estella’s gaze. He could not bring himself to say no.

Then again, he dared not defy Lucian’s order.

For one moment, Cayden was caught in a fix. He could only cast a pleading look at Roxanne. “Um, Ms. Jarvis…”

Roxanne returned a comforting smile and eyed Estella with a firm expression. “Listen to Mr. Lawson, Essie. It’s late,

and if you don’t go home, Daddy will be worried.”

In the past, Roxanne would probably have ignored Lucian and let Estella stay with her.

However, ever since that morning’s incident and Roxanne’s realization about her relationship with Lucian, she

decided there was no point in doing so.

Thus, she had to send the little girl back.

Seeing how insistent Roxanne was, Estella lowered her gaze dejectedly.

Archie and Benny, who were watching from one side, suggested, “Mommy, we’ll talk to Essie.”

At once, Roxanne recalled how her sons had persuaded Estella. Relieved, she allowed them to do so.

The two boys led Estella to the living room.

Roxanne merely saw Archie and Benny speaking to the little girl in a mysterious manner, stealing glances at their

mother in the process. Soon, Estella nodded firmly and headed to the doorway.

“Let’s go back, Mr. Lawson!” she said as she grabbed the hem of Cayden’s shirt.

It took a while for Cayden to react when he realized how quickly Estella had changed her mind. After a few seconds,

he agreed, bid farewell to Roxanne, and left with Estella.
