Chapter 756 Keep The Woman Away Lucian hurried to Roxanne’s house to pick up Estella after work that evening. On his way there, Cayden’s words reverberated in Lucian’s mind. Thanks to Cayden, Lucian was reminded that Roxanne had not explained her relationship with Jack yet.

Even after he had arrived at Roxanne’s house, Lucian still could not stop thinking about the matter. Thus, displeasure filled his heart. Roxanne was greeted by the man’s cold visage as soon as she opened the door, which got her frozen in place like a statue.

| haven't even given him a piece of my mind about Estella’s matter! What's with his attitude? He actually has the audacity to show me that gloomy face? “What's wrong? Is something up at work?” questioned Roxanne, trying to be patient. However, Lucian simply looked past the woman with a deadpan expression before asking, “Where's Essie? I'm here to take her home.” Roxanne furrowed her eyebrows slightly when she sensed the gloomy aura around Lucian. The three children hurried over the second they heard someone at the door.

“It's time to go home, Essie.” Lucian held out his hand as he looked at the girl. Estella could sense that Lucian was in a bad mood, so she shook her head in response after hiding behind Roxanne.

Because of that, the man frowned and shifted his attention back to Roxanne, who patted Estella on the head before turning to her boys. “Why don’t you guys play with Essie for a while? Mommy has something to discuss with Mr. Farwell.” Archie and Benny both immediately knew that Roxanne had to talk with Lucian about Aubree, so they nodded cooperatively and took Estella to the living room.

Lucian was baffled since he had no idea what Roxanne wanted to talk about.

If anything, the man wanted to hear what Roxanne had to say about what happened a few days ago, especially the matter between Jack and her.

“Essie said that Ms. Pearson’s just moved into your house,” voiced Roxanne, trying her best to ignore Lucian’s tense aura.

The man’s eyes quickly turned dull when he realized that Roxanne wanted to talk about Aubree. After nodding slightly, Lucian responded, “She’s staying with us because of the old injury on her arm.” Roxanne was hit by another wave of unease when Lucian confirmed what Estella said to be true. However, the woman did not show it. “You didn’t forget how Ms. Pearson got physical with Essie last time, did you, Mr. Farwell? I'm sure it's quite obvious how Essie feels about Ms. Pearson staying with you.” Lucian did not appreciate Roxanne doubting his decision, so he knitted his eyebrows tightly. “| know how to handle it.” “Letting Ms. Pearson stay with you is the reason Essie is down.” Roxanne’s tone turned cold because the man’s action had infuriated her. “I don’t think you want to see Essie revert to her old self. Where Ms. Pearson stays has nothing to do with me; | just hope she stays away from Essie.” Then, Roxanne suddenly fell silent for a few seconds as if she had remembered something. “At least give Essie some time to accept Ms. Pearson before letting the woman get close to her,” added Roxanne, who almost forgot that Aubree was still Lucian’s fiancée and Estella’s future stepmother to the public.

If Lucian decided to marry Aubree, it would be impossible for Estella to avoid the woman forever.

The aura surrounding Lucian instantly reached a freezing point when he heard Roxanne, for he knew exactly what the woman's brief pause and the words that followed meant. She still doesn’t have faith in what | promised her!
