Chapter 265They had finished planting the second sapling at the time.As Roxanne got up to hand him
the third sapling, a commotion broke out not too far away.“Ms. Pearson? What are you doing here?”
Pippa exclaimed in shock when she saw Aubree at the entrance.Aubree was wearing a fancy red dress
and a pair of expensive sunglasses that complemented her wavy hair. She walked up to Pippa before
taking her sunglasses off and scanning the crowd. “Lucian said the kindergarten has organized a
parent-child activity today. I’m worried about Essie, so I came rushing over as quickly as I could. Where
are they?”Pippa pointed in Roxanne’s direction and replied, “Over there with Archie andBenny. Essie
likes them so much that she doesn’t want to be separated from them, not even for this
activity.”Playvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen
The look in Aubree’s eyes turned cold when she heard that. She then thanked Pippa and quickly made
her way toward Roxanne.All the other parents were wearing sports attire to help their kids plant the
saplings, so Aubree’s bright red dress drew a lot of attention as she walked past them.Those who
recognized her shifted their gaze toward Roxanne and prepared themselves for a good
show.Roxanne’s expression grew stiff when she saw Aubree storming toward them.She knew Aubree
wouldn’t give up soeasily, especially after hearing what she said on the phone last night. However, she
didn’t expect her to show up like that.“There you are, Lucian!” Aubree greeted him coquettishly while
standing next to them.She then shifted her gaze toward Roxanne as she continued, “Hello there, Ms. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Jarvis! Long time no see!”The awkward tension between them was so intense that everyone watching
could feel it.Roxanne nodded. “Yeah, long time no see.”“What are you doing here?” Lucian asked with
a slight hint of displeasure in his tone.Using Sonya as an excuse, Aubree said in the most matter-of-
fact tone possible, “Mrs. Farwell told me you brought Essie here to attend an event. She said she was
worried that Essie would feel uncomfortable with so many people around, and it’d be inconvenient for a
guy like you to look after Essie, so she sent me here to take a look.”Lucian’s frown deepened when he
heard her mention Sonya.Had it not been for my mother insisting that I marry Aubree, I would’ve called
off this marriage long ago!Oblivious to his anger, Aubree bent over to look at Estella, who was playing
withArchie and Benny at the time. “Come here, Essie! Give me a hug!” she said with her arms
outstretched.To her surprise, Estella pouted and moved behind the two boys in response.I don’t like
this evil woman at all! I still remember how she hit me! There’s no way I’d let her hug me!The look in
Aubree’s eyes turned gloomy when she saw Estella pulling away from her, but she maintained a
friendly smile on her face as she said apologetically, “Are you still mad at me for what happened last
time, Essie? I’m sorry for losing my patience. Will you please forgive me?”Estella pursed her lips and
shook her head without saying anything.You little b*tch! I’d have taught your ungrateful as a lesson if
we weren’t in front of all these people right now!Aubree thought to herself after getting rejected a
second time.
