NovelEnglishChapter 755 Do You Dislike Aubree “So what's going on, exactly?” questioned Benny impatiently. However, Estella simply stared at Roxanne, hoping to get a solid answer from the woman.
The look in Roxanne’s eyes softened when she met the girl's gaze. She nodded. “Okay. | won't get angry with Lucian.” Only after that did Estella finally reveal, “The evil woman's staying with us.” Archie and Benny were both stunned when they heard Estella, but as soon as they regained their senses, they realized who the girl was talking about.
On the other hand, Roxanne’s face was filled with puzzlement as she wondered who the person in question was.

Roxanne’s eyebrows furrowed slightly when she got the answer to her question.
Playvolume00:00/00:44TruvidfullScreen Even though the woman promised Estella she would not get upset, she still felt uncomfortable deep down. What is Lucian thinking? Why would he take Aubree in after telling me he wanted to pursue me? He even said that he’d give me an explanation.
Besides, he knows how Aubree got physical with Essie. How can Essie feel safe with Aubree around when it's clear she has an aversion to that woman? The symptoms of Estella’s autism had just improved, so Roxanne was worried Aubree’s presence would undo that.
Moreover, nobody could guarantee that Aubree would not take the opportunity to hurt Estella again.
The thought of Aubree bullying the little girl again left Roxanne heartbroken.
“Ms. Jarvis,” called out Estella while cautiously tugging at Roxanne’s sleeve.
After returning to her senses, Roxanne turned to the girl. “What is it?” “Are you mad?” Estella knitted her eyebrows in concern. “You promised that you wouldn't be angry with Daddy.” Roxanne’s heart clenched inexorably when Estella insisted on defending her father. “I'm not. | made you a promise, and | intend to keep it.” Only then did Estella smile. Obviously, she was relieved to hear that Roxanne wouldn't break the promise.

The girl decided there was no need to hide anything from Roxanne since she was convinced that the latter was not upset with her father. “The evil woman was bad to me, so | don't like her.” After that, Estella stared at Roxanne with her pair of puppy-dog eyes. “Can you stay with us, Ms. Jarvis? Archie and Benny too!” The boys immediately got excited after hearing Estella’s request. “Mommy!” They wanted to stay with Estella so they could protect her if Aubree ever decided to bully the girl again.
Looking at Archie and Benny, Roxanne wanted to say yes but knew her circumstance would not allow so.
“I'm sorry.” Roxanne then wrapped her arms tightly and apologetically around Estella before inquiring gently, “Essie, do you dislike Ms. Pearson?” In response, Estella nodded fervently. Ms. Pearson's always angry with me. She even hit me; she’s just pretending to be nice in front of Daddy.
Roxanne was filled with helplessness when she noticed how downcast the girl was. “The boys and | may not be able to stay with you, but | can talk to your father. Don’t worry, okay?” Estella was obviously disappointed after listening to Roxanne, but she nodded passively in response anyway.
