Chapter581 Meanwhile, Lucian and Estella were on the way home.

As both father and daughter had things on their minds, there was silence in the car.

Estella was sitting in the back as she stared at her bracelet made from shells on her wrist. Her tiny face tensed up as she felt worried.

“Daddy, is Ms. Jarvis trying to avoid us again?” Estella could not help but ask after a long moment of hesitation.

Even though Roxanne had promised her that she could visit, Estella was still afraid that P would continue to avoid them in the future.

nne Estella’s words were exactly what Lucian was thinking of. After a few moments of silence, he replied,“l don’t know.” His heart was full of mixed feelings.

Upon hearing that, Estella pursed her lips in disappointment. “Am | not good enough?” she carefully asked.

She remembered her father had told her that Roxanne would not avoid them if she behaved.

And Roxanne seemed to really like her these two days. She even gave Estella a gift.

Upon thinking of that, Estella beceven more sorrowful as she held on tightly to the bracelet on her wrist.

Lucian frowned as frustration grew in his heart.

He really did not know what Roxanne was thinking.

She was fine earlier and even exchanged gifts with Estella happily. However, she suddenly becdistant and got up to leave.

Lucian had no clue of the reason behind her change of emotions.

The more he was rejected by Roxanne, the more he hated his actions from six years ago.

Roxanne’s drunken words from that night were still replaying in his mind.

Six years ago, she was utterly in love with him. But all he did in return was to let her leave.

The atmosphere in the car was tense.

No one said anything for the rest of the journey back to the Farwell residence.

Estella was in a gloomy mood the entire time. She did not even wait for Lucian to carry her into « the house. The young girl had gotten out of the car and walked to the mansion alone.

Staring at her tiny silhouette, Lucian frowned. It seemed that Estella‘s condition was worsening.

Upon realizing that, Lucian‘s heart fell.

Roxanne’s attitude to Estella had a huge impact on Estella’s mental health.

Lucian was not going to let Roxanne becdistant from them because of Estella.

Lucian followed Estella into the house. Just as he entered, Estella was already sitting on the couch with her head hung low. Catalina comforted her with a worried look on her face, but Estella refused to speak.

When Catalina noticed Lucian walking, she looked at him and asked, “What's with Ms. Estella, Mr. Farwell?” Just as she spoke, she realized that Lucian had a similar expression on his face.

Catalina frowned in confusion.

Lucian was about to say something when his phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, he swallowed back his words and said, “Nothing. Please take her upstairs. I'll check in on her later.” Catalina acknowledged him and cast a troubled look in Estella‘s direction.

It was fortunate that the little girl was sensible. Although she was sad, she knew that her father was busy with work. Estella obediently walked up the stairs before Catalina could say anything more.

Watching the two leave, Lucian walked to his study in long strides and answered the call.

uv nswer “Mr. Farwell, we've managed to uncover something about Mrs. Farwell‘s accident,” Cayden‘s voice sounded through the phone.

Everything was strange with the car accident, and the perpetrator seemed to have prepared for it in advance. It had taken Cayden a lot of effort to find just a small clue.

Lucian‘s expression turned cold at Cayden‘s words. “What is it?” His voice seemed to have dropped a few octaves.
