NovelEnglishChapter 1059 Please Let Estella Stay “Ms. Jarvis has a lot on her hands, so don’t cause her any more trouble.” Lucian bent down to grab Estella’s unoccupied hand.
Estella’s strength was drained after bawling for a long time, so she let go of Roxanne’s hand the moment Lucian took her in his arms.
The woman instinctively tightened her grip but eventually let the girl go when she remembered the man’s harsh words. With Estella in his arms, Lucian patted her comfortingly on the back before turning around to leave.
“Daddy!” Suddenly, a childish voice cried out from behind and caused Lucian to stop dead in his tracks.

Benny's voice was loud when he called Lucian that, and his face had turned bright red, probably due to anxiety.
The moment the word left his mouth, Benny regretted his action.
He knew he shouldn't have done that, but he had no idea how else to stop Lucian from leaving.
At that moment, Benny did not have to lift his head to look at his mother because he could already sense her shocked gaze.
Panicking, the boy then turned to his brother for help.
Archie, knitting his eyebrows, pretended to be calm even though he was flustered as well. “Mr. Farwell, you're Essie’s father, yet you don’t know what she needs? If a psychologist can actually help her, then why was she mute before she met us?” Benny quickly chimed in, “If we had a daddy, we wouldn't like it if he forced us to do things we don’t want to do!” The boys’ words were enough to make the two adults waver once again, and Lucian began pondering. Benny's not wrong. If a psychologist were the solution, Essie wouldn't have refused to talk. However, how can | allow Essie to continue relying on Roxanne since she wanted nothing more than to cut ties with me? Roxanne, on the other hand, was still feeling apprehensive after Benny called Lucian “Daddy.” For a moment, she even thought the boy had found out about his true identity already.
The next second, she was filled with intense guilt when she heard what Benny had to say. Lucian is the boys’ father, and he’s standing right in front of them. I just didn’t tell them because | was selfish.
Guilt-ridden, the woman glanced at Lucian because she was worried he would sense something.
However, as soon as she lifted her head, she unexpectedly met Lucian’s stern gaze.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRoxanne wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her when she noticed resentment in the man’s eyes.
“Even if you needto...” At that point, Roxanne could not help but speak up again. However, she glanced concernedly at Estella mid-sentence and decided to skip the rest. “We need to be patient with Essie’s condition.
If necessary, I'll cooperate with you, Mr. Farwell.” Roxanne knew the Farwell family wanted to distance Estella from her, so in order to make the process easier for Estella, she was willing to cooperate with the family to gradually cut down on the tshe spent with the girl.
Even though Archie and Benny had no idea what the adults were talking about, they had an uneasy feeling.
Meanwhile, Estella was still crying since she was unsure what would happen to her.
“If possible, let Essie stay for today,” Roxanne lowered her eyes and pleaded without much expectation.
The second Archie and Benny heard that, their eyes lit up.
The boys then stared expectantly at Lucian, whose face remained expressionless.
Only after a while did the man finally speak. “I'll leave her in your care then. Feel free to callanytshould you have trouble handling her, and I'll cover to pick her up.”
