Chapter 749 Fear When Aubree revealed her true colors and put on a frightening expression, Estella jumped in fear and wanted to go to Lucian. However, her wrist was grabbed by Aubree, and she couldn't break free.

Staring coldly at the girl, Aubree uttered, “If you don’t want to suffer, you better obey me! Don’t pissoff, do you understand?” Inside the bathroom, Lucian was taking a shower when he called Roxanne.

He knew how much of a workaholic she was, so he was worried Roxanne might not be there when Cayden sent Estella over. The little girl would throw a temper tantrum if she didn’t get to see Roxanne. That was why he was calling her, to make sure she was around.

Thankfully, she picked up the call rather quickly. “What's the matter, Lucian?” Roxanne sounded groggy. She might have just woken up, or she was woken up by the call.

Amused by her sleepy tone, Lucian apologized softly, “Did | wake you up? Sorry.” She yawned slightly and sat up in bed. “It’s okay. | should be waking up at this time, anyway. | think | overslept a little. Why are you callingearly in the morning?” “Essie wants to go to your place. Do you have tduring the morning for that? If it's not convenient for you, | can ask her to stay in the company with me.” After spending twith Roxanne for a while, Lucian figured out her preferred way of interacting between the two of them. Therefore, he would use a negotiating tone whenever he spoke to her.

Roxanne pondered for a while before agreeing. “Got it. I'll be at hin the morning.” He was astounded when he heard her agree to it readily. Raising his eyebrows in surprise, he hummed in response and told her the estimated tthat Estella would arrive before ending the call.

After hanging up, Lucian stepped out of the bathroom and glanced at his daughter, who was still at the door.

Aubree was still threatening the girl at that moment and was shocked to see Lucian emerging from the bathroom. Hastily, her expression changed as she greeted him guiltily, “Lucian.” The moment he saw her, he remembered how she pestered him last night. With a cold tone, he asked, “Why are you here?” Her eyelashes quivered before she explained cautiously, “I saw Essie standing here, so | thought | should cover and talk with her.” Then, she flashed a fake smile at the girl. “Isn't that right, Essie?” Pursing her lips, Estella glanced at the woman before wordlessly running toward her father, hiding behind him while grabbing his pants.

The look in Lucian’s eyes darkened as he regarded his daughter's restless demeanor. He then glimpsed the woman at the door.

Even though his gaze merely swept past Aubree’s face briefly, it still made her tremble. She clenched her hand tightly to prevent herself from losing her composure.

He was tired of dealing with her, so he just said, “I'll bring Essie downstairs later. You can go down first.” Upon hearing that, she parted her lips to say something but didn’t dare to. Silently, she shot a glare at Estella before descending the stairs. With that, only Estella and Lucian were left in the room.

“What did you two talk about with each other earlier?” He looked at her with a frown. She was clearly afraid when she ran towardjust now.

Pressing her lips into a thin line, the girl shook her head, refusing to talk. She appeared similar to how she used to act when her autism was severe.

Lucian’s heart dropped when he saw that. Instead of asking any more questions, he wordlessly comforted Estella by caressing her head.
