Chapter 889 Like Her

Catalina quickly comforted her by saying, “It’s okay. Have a good rest, Ms. Estella. I’ll massage your eyes for you.”

Estella nodded aggrievedly and leaned against Lucian’s chest.

The look in Lucian’s eyes was pitch-dark when he took a glance at Estella.

After a while, Estella finally regained her senses. When she did, she recalled what had happened before she fell asleep.

“Daddy, where’s Ms. Jarvis?” Estella tugged at Lucian’s shirt. Before I fell asleep, Mr. Lann had told me Ms. Jarvis would come back to see me in a short while.

Lucian didn’t expect Estella to suddenly mention Roxanne. His gaze turned grim right away, and he didn’t know how to answer Estella’s question. If Essie knows Roxanne isn’t

here because I didn’t allow her to come, she’s going to become agitated. However, I can’t lie to Essie.

“Is Ms. Jarvis not here yet?” Estella threw Catalina an innocent glance.

Thinking about Roxanne’s previous two visits, Catalina subconsciously glanced at Lucian.

At that moment, Lucian was expressionless.

Seeing that, Catalina hesitated for a while before shaking her head. “I think Ms. Jarvis is still busy. Wait a while longer, okay, Ms. Estella?”

Upon hearing that, Estella lowered her gaze in disappointment. I thought I would see Ms. Jarvis the moment I woke up.

“Daddy.” Again, Estella tugged at Lucian’s shirt sheepishly.

Lucian lowered his head and met Estella’s gaze.

With an innocent expression, Estella asked, “Daddy, could you call Ms. Jarvis? Could you get her to come earlier?”

Lucian’s gaze darkened as soon as he heard those words. After that, he kept mum.

“I want to see Ms. Jarvis,” Estella uttered aggrievedly.

Lucian patted her head in response and said, “I know.”

Estella noticed how Lucian had ignored her previous question, so she knew Lucian could still be angry at Roxanne. In an anxious tone, she asked, “Are you still angry at Ms.

Jarvis, Daddy? Don’t be angry anymore, okay? I’d be very sad…”

While she was talking, she sniffled aggrievedly.

Estella really thought Lucian was still angry about what had happened the day before.

Lucian merely frowned and remained quiet until he saw that Estella was about to cry. Remembering James’ advice, he answered in a deep voice, “I’m not angry anymore.”

Estella wasn’t convinced. “Why is your expression so grim, then?”

“That’s because I’m worried about you.” Lucian forced a smile.

Estella didn’t dwell too much on it. In fact, she even started consoling Lucian by saying, “Don’t be scared, Daddy. I’m fine.”

After that, she mumbled, “I just want to see Ms. Jarvis, Archie, and Benny. Daddy, could you send me to Ms. Jarvis’? If she’s still at work, it’s fine. I can wait for her there.”

Estella knew she would feel better if she could wait at Roxanne’s house, for she would be able to see the latter after working hours.

“Do you like Ms. Jarvis that much?” Lucian couldn’t help but ask.

Estella nodded earnestly. “As much as I like you, Daddy.”

Lucian frowned, and his gaze darkened. “Why?”

Estella found that question hard to answer. While furrowing her brows, she tried her best to come up with an answer. In the end, she gave up and shook her head. “I don’t

know.”

All she knew was that Roxanne was kind to her. Besides, Ms. Jarvis’ smell makes me feel safe.
