Chapter 821 Does Miss Jarvis Not Like Me

Roxanne’s mind was preoccupied with Estella. She only recalled that Jack and Hector were still waiting for her in the

research institute at the boys’ reminder.

She cast a glance at the doorway, still worried about the girl’s safety. “Mommy, just go,” the boys urged. Right then,

Jack called. Roxanne picked up the call as she furrowed her brows. “Sorry, I’ll be there in a moment,” she said

apologetically.

Hearing that there was something amiss with her voice, Jack asked in concern, “Did something happen?”

He was already worried when he heard Roxanne abruptly telling him that she was going to be late by half an hour.

Just as Roxanne was about to say something, she heard Hector’s and Colby’s voices.

She hesitated. Then, with a nonchalant chuckle, she said to him, “Nothing. I’ll be right there.”

Jack asked a few more questions in concern, but Roxanne dismissed them all.

She wanted to wait until Estella was back, but she had already made Hector wait for her for such a long time; she

could not delay the appointment any longer.

After ending the call, Roxanne crouched down and ruffled the boys’ hair. “Apologize to Essie for me when she’s

back, okay?”

The boys nodded compliantly.

Roxanne only stood up and left after seeing the boys’ agreement.

Meanwhile, Lucian found the girl crying quietly. She was hiding in the garden.

Even after he arrived, Estella was still crying.

“Essie, Daddy’s here.” Lucian sighed and lowered himself until he was at eye level with the girl. He reached out and

patted her head.

Estella shook his hand off unhappily and sobbed as she shifted to the side.

Complicated feelings seeped into Lucian’s heart as he took in the girl’s melancholic look and remembered the way

Roxanne had rejected her ruthlessly earlier.

Lucian had never thought that Estella would spring that question on Roxanne and that Roxanne would reject Estella

so straightforwardly.

He was glad that he had not told Estella the truth of her birth yet.

Otherwise, he had no idea how sad she would be to hear the rejection from her own mother.

Estella was still sulking, and there was nothing Lucian could say. All he could do was stand by her side.

He had thought that Roxanne would run after them soon.

After all, he knew that Roxanne truly liked Estella despite her earlier rejection.

Yet, even after some time had passed, Roxanne still did not show up.

Lucian’s expression gradually darkened.

Estella shared similar thoughts. She had been waiting for Roxanne to come after her and console her, but Roxanne

did not come. Eventually, Estella stopped crying.

“Daddy,” the girl muttered sadly as she looked up at her father, “does Ms. Jarvis not like me?”

Why else would she not come and console me?

Lucian’s eyes darkened when he looked at her. He suppressed the displeasure he felt toward Roxanne and

reassured her, “It’s my fault. Ms. Jarvis hasn’t accepted me yet. That’s why she rejected you.”

Still, Estella’s eyes were red. “But why isn’t Ms. Jarvis coming to see me?”

The last time she had gone missing, Roxanne had been the first to find her.

Lucian gently patted her head and said, “Maybe Ms. Jarvis hasn’t found you yet. Let’s go back and wait for her.”
