When Lucian saw that Roxanne was going to retreat, his gaze swept across Estella.

“Do you really have the heart to decline? Essie dreams about having a mother. Could you bear to keep her waiting? You've already been absent from her life for six long years!” His words left Roxanne totally baffled.

She looked down at Estella in shock, wondering what Lucian meant.

Is it what | think it is? The two kids had yet to realize what Lucian was talking about and simply looked at the two adults innocently.

Roxanne took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm. Then, she turned to Lucian and asked, “What are you talking about? What do you mean when you said I've been absent from Essie’s life for six long years? I'm just...” | was just an outsider to Essie. Why did he say that? The person who has missed out on watching Essie grow up should be her biological mother, no? “Lucian, what has gotten into you?” Sonya never wanted Roxanne to be a part of the Farwell family.

Furthermore, since Estella had just gone through an eventful afternoon, Sonya was afraid it would be too much for the little girl to take if she discovered the truth all within the same day.

Thus, she strode toward Lucian in frustration, trying to prevent him from saying further.

It was then that Cayden stepped forward and blocked her.

“Mrs. Farwell, Mr. Farwell is proposing right now. | think it's best you leave them alone.” Cayden’s tone was polite yet assertive. “Don’t you want Ms. Estella to grow up having a complete family?” Sonya grimaced and shouted, “Get lost! Who do you think you are to meddle with the affairs of the Farwell family?” Cayden kept his cool and insisted, “This is the instruction given to me by Mr. Farwell. All you need to do is to stay where you are and be a witness.” Although Cayden dared not lay a finger on Sonya, he was more than capable to get in the woman’s way and keep her away from Lucian.

Left with no choice, the livid Sonya could only gaze at the duo from afar.

She could tell that Roxanne was planning to turn Lucian down just now.

However, things might change if Roxanne found out that Estella was her daughter.

Before Sonya even had the chance to do something else, Lucian revealed the truth with full confidence.

“Essie is your biological daughter. Six years ago, someone dropped her off at the gate of the Farwell residence without saying a word. | have done the paternity test, and | have the results to prove that she’s our daughter.” Words eluded Roxanne as her body stiffened.

Essie is my daughter? At that instant, all the moments she had spent with Estella ever since she returned to the country flashed across her mind like a slideshow.

Immediately, she teared up.

Now I know why a familiar feeling crept up on me the first time | met her, and there’s no wonder she’s so attached to me. Essie is my own flesh and blood, my little baby whom | thought was stillborn.

Roxanne was inundated with both joy and sorrow at the same time.

For a long while, she struggled to recollect herself.

Estella, who was holding Roxanne’s hand, was also in shock. She, too, could not believe her ears until Archie and Benny asked questions to clarify their relationship.

“Really? Essie is Mommy's child? She's our biological sister?” Lucian nodded solemnly. Then, he turned to look at Roxanne and Estella.

“I'm sorry for keeping this secret from you all these while. | was just worried that if you reject me and we don’t end up together, both you and Essie would be downright disappointed. Essie, I'm so sorry for not telling you this earlier. Ms. Jarvis is the mother you've always wanted. It's time you change the way you address her. She’s no longer your Aunt Roxanne.” As soon as he finished his sentence, Estella burst out crying all of a sudden. She hugged Roxanne’s thigh tightly and bawled.

“Mommy... Mommy..."
