Chapter 1058 Who Are You Even though Roxanne and Lucian knew what Archie would say, they were still moved when they heard the boy actually put his thoughts into words.

After looking down at Archie, Roxanne silently shifted her gaze to Lucian. If possible, I, too, wish Essie could stay a moment longer, at least until she calms down.

Unfortunately, she knew she had no right to make such a request. Only after keeping quiet for a few seconds did Lucian turn to meet Roxanne’s gaze.

Clenching her fists, Roxanne then looked away and pretended to be calm. “What do you think, Ms. Jarvis?” inquired Lucian in his deep voice.

Roxanne reluctantly replied, “I have no say in the matter since Essie is your child, Mr. Farwell. However, | do hope that you'll respect her wishes.” Since Roxanne did not intend to request him to let Estella stay, Lucian nodded understandingly in response and turned to Estella. “Then you should chwith me.” Estella had just stopped crying, but after hearing her father’s words, her face began to scrunch up again.

Seeing how the girl was about to burst into tears once again, Benny and Archie got upset at Lucian. Daddy knew Essie isn't in a good mood, but he’s still forcing her.

“Essie doesn’t want to go back,” protested Benny, confronting his father with determination.

Lucian was somewhat surprised by the boy's sudden statement.

Then, Archie also stepped forward to shield Estella with his body.

Even though he did not utter a word, his intention was crystal clear.

Instead of saying anything in response, Lucian simply looked silently at Roxanne, who was frowning slightly as soon as she noticed his gaze. The woman also wanted to say something for Estella’s sake, but in the face of Lucian’s attitude, she couldn't bring herself to say anything. Also, she was well aware she didn’t have a say in the matter.

He probably would've listened toback when he was still pursuing me, but now that he’s already with Aubree... With that thought in mind, Roxanne was quickly filled with nothing but frustration.

“Archie, Benny, you guys go upstairs first and let Mr. Farwell talk to Essie,” Roxanne persuaded the boys, who never expected her to say that.

Estella, on the other hand, thought that Roxanne did not want her around anymore, so she began bawling again while grabbing the woman's sleeve tightly, refusing to let go.

When the scene descended into chaos once again, Roxanne furrowed her eyebrows helplessly.

Lucian, however, remained standing with a deadpan expression at the door, staring at Estella and waiting for her to cto him.

It took quite a while before Roxanne finally found her voice. “Mr. Farwell...” Even though Roxanne didn’t have the right to say anything, she could no longer remain silent when Estella was bawling.

As Roxanne spoke, she reciprocated Estella’s grip on her hand and found out that the little girl's palm was already sweating.

Heartbroken, Roxanne stated, “I know what you guys are thinking, but sthings require time, especially considering Essie’s condition.” Then, Lucian spoke straightforwardly, his words striking the sore spot in Roxanne'’s heart. “And who are you to concern yourself with Essie like that?” The desire in Roxanne to speak up immediately dissipated when she heard Lucian. Her lips parted, but no words cout of her mouth; all she could do was tighten her grip on Estella’s hand to comfort the girl.

Then, Lucian shifted his attention to Estella. “Chwith me. Mr. Lann will be coming over in the evening.” Since Estella had been so emotionally unstable recently, Lucian decided to summon James for professional help.

However, Estella shook her head vigorously in response and cried so hard that she could barely breathe properly.
