His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne)

Chapter 266

Chapter 266Not wanting to attract attention to herself, Roxanne interrupted coldly. “Since Ms. Pearson

is back and Essie’s tree has been planted, I think you should take Essie and go back with Ms. Pearson,

Mr. Farwell.”Hearing that, Aubree shot to her feet and glanced at Lucian with a grin.Aubree’s motive for

coming was to prevent Lucian and Roxanne from spending time with each other. Now that Roxanne

had suggested the idea herself, Aubree could not be happier.Lucian’s gaze turned grim when he heard

Roxanne’s words. He looked at her with a frown and said, “Ms. Jarvis, you helped me and Essie to

plant the tree just now. I can’t just leave like that. Besides, there’s one more tree left. Let’s plant it

together.” Roxanne furrowed her brows. When she was about to turn down his suggestion,Estella

called out timidly, “Ms. Jarvis…”Roxanne’s heart softened. She turned around, only to notice the look of

aversion on Estella’s face.Playvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen

Clearly, Estella was traumatized by what Aubree had done to her previously. She was still afraid of

her.I’d love to keep Essie with me if possible, but we’re not even related. I can’t do anything about it

even if I want to protect her.After pondering for a moment, Roxannelowered her eyes and agreed,

“Sinceyou’ve said that, Mr. Farwell, I’m afraid.I’ll have to trouble you, then.”Lucian’s expression relaxed.

He picked up the shovel and continued filling up the holes.Meanwhile, Estella’s mood lifted when she

realized Roxanne would not leave her. Smiling, she joined the boys to fill the holes.All of a sudden,

Aubree was neglected by everyone.After a moment of silence, Aubree mustered her courage and

made up her mind to take Lucian away from Roxanne She asked, “Lucian, you must be tired. Why

don’t you stop and get some rest?”However, Lucian did not stop. It was as ifhe did not hear her voice at

all.Aubree gritted her teeth in anger. Shesummoned her courage and reached outto take the shovel in

his hand.Archie and Benny could not stand it anymore.Stopping whatever he was doing, Archie looked

at Aubree innocently. “Ms. Pearson, if you’re that worried, shouldn’t Essie be the one you’re worried

about? Mr. Farwell has only filled in a few holes. It should be a piece of cake for adults, shouldn’t it?

Look at Essie. She’s all sweaty already.”“Didn’t you apologize to Essie earlier? Do you not mean it?”

Benny added.The boys’ words caused Aubree’s face to turn ashen. She pinched her palm tosuppress

her anger.Now that the boys had spoken, Aubree had no choice but to give up on Lucian and walk over

to Estella. She asked patiently. “Essie, are you tired? I’ll take you out to get something yummy to eat.

Would you like that?”Estella shrunk away, biting her lip without saying anything while lifting her gaze to

look at Roxanne.Roxanne felt bad for Estella, but she did not know what to say.After all, Aubree was

Lucian’s fiancée, and it was made known to the public. Moreover, she was also Estella’s future mother.

Roxanne basically had no rightto interfere with their matters.Seeing that she was not responding,

Aubree smirked and pulled Estella into her embrace.Estella struggled, but it only made Aubree hug her

tighter. In the end, she could only bite her lip and allow Aubree to hug her.When Lucian saw Estella

being so quiet, he thought that she did not hate Aubree that much. Aubree did not dare to bully Estella

in Lucian’s presence. Thus, she, too, did not speak.After planting the last tree, Roxanne suggested NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
