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 Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
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
again for Lucian to leave with Estella and Aubree.Lucian nodded silently.
