Chapter 814 Illusion Roxanne remained oblivious to what Aubree was plotting. Estella, on the other hand, desperately wished for Roxanne to accept her father’s affection for her.

For several days, Estella would pester Catalina to teach her how to bake a cake when she returned from school.

Catalina naturally wanted to know where the interest cfrom. However, the little girl refused to explain, and instead, she would respond with a shy smile each time.

Catalina’s heart melted when she looked at Estella’s expression, so she decided to fulfill the girl's request. She had thought that Estella was just learning how to bake for fun.

After all, Estella was so small that she could not even reach the countertop. She needed to use a stool, which made the activity quite inconvenient.

However, to her surprise, Estella had learned how to bake quite decently in just a few days. Early in the morning, when the weekend approached, Estella waited for Lucian at his bedroom door.

“Daddy!” Lucian had just opened the door when he heard Estella’s cute voice. When he looked at Estella, he noticed that excitement was written all over her face.

“What is it?” asked Lucian. The little girl tugged at his sleeve as she said, “Let's go see Ms. Jarvis! | have not thanked her yet!” At the mention of Roxanne, Lucian knitted his brows. Since his chat with Jonathan about her, he had yet to pay Roxanne a visit. He had also not thought of any romantic gestures.

Knowing that Estella wanted to see Roxanne, Lucian was put in a difficult position. Estella continued to tug at his sleeve expectantly, signalling that she wanted him to follow her downstairs.

Estella was so weak that she huffed and puffed with all her might. Even her face had turned red from the exertion. Lucian frowned helplessly and helped Estella support herself by holding her arm. Then, at Estella’s pace, the pair walked down the stairs.

However, when they got to the bottom, Estella’s feet showed no signs of stopping. Instead, she pulled him toward the door.

It seemed that if Lucian did not agree to take her to see Roxanne, she was not going to give up.

Lucian was rendered with no other option. All he could do was comply with her wishes, and the pair soon drove toward Roxanne'’s house in his car.

Throughout the journey, Estella did not stop chattering about what she wanted to do when she saw Roxanne.

Lucian did not really pay attention to her. His mind was occupied by thoughts of how he was going to face Roxanne.

They had met and parted under unpleasant circumstances, and sthad passed since they had seen each other. He did not know if her anger had abated yet.

After half an hour, Lucian slowly pulled into Roxanne’s driveway.

Lucian got out of the car and carried Estella down. Without waiting for him, Estella rushed toward Roxanne’s door.

The little girl pushed the doorbell enthusiastically and knocked on the door, hoping that the inhabitants inside could hear her.

At that moment, Roxanne and her sons were having breakfast.

They heard sounds coming from the door, but it was so gentle and soft that they thought it was merely an illusion.

Soon after, the doorbell rang.

Roxanne frowned slightly before getting up to open the door.

“Ms. Jarvis!” Estella’s cute voice rang out from below her as soon as she opened the door.

Roxanne smiled at the little girl and patted her head. Then she turned to look at the man next to her with mixed feelings.

Immediately, the air was heavy with silence and awkwardness.

“Essie wanted to see you, so | brought her over.” Lucian was the first to break the silence.

Roxanne cback to her senses. She forced a smile, nodded, and said, “Please, cinside.”
