NovelEnglishChapter 761 Worsen Her Condition “Why shouldn't 1?” Lucian asked after a moment of silence.
“Because you're courting Ms. Jarvis! So you have to make her happy!” Estella replied matter-of-factly.
Lucian furrowed his brows at her answer, and his gaze darkened.
Even Essie knows that. How could | have forgotten about it? At the thought of Roxanne’s angry face, Lucian chuckled to himself self-deprecatingly.

Coming back to his senses, he apologized to Estella, “Sorry, | was wrong.” Estella hummed in satisfaction. Then, she crossed her arms and demanded, “What did you do wrong, Daddy?” Lucian glimpsed at her again through the rearview mirror and answered, “I shouldn't have made Ms. Jarvis angry. | was too reckless.” Estella was contented to hear her father admit his fault. She nodded before probing, “Why did you argue with Ms. Jarvis?” Upon hearing that, Lucian shook his head in amusement.
This little brat! | already admitted to my mistake, yet she still wants to get to the bottom of the matter! Well, since she asked, | don’t mind telling her. | will need lots of help from her in the future, after all.
With that thought in mind, Lucian confessed, “There is some misunderstanding between us. I'm sure you've seen all the things I've been doing for Ms. Jarvis recently, but she just won't accept me. So | felt anxious and wanted an explanation from her.” All right, that's all | will tell her. There's no need to tell her about my rival. A child doesn’t need to know so much.
Estella got a bit worked up when she heard Lucian’s words, but she remained on Roxanne’s side. “You can ask me for help if you're anxious. Don’t ever get mad at Ms. Jarvis again!” Lucian nodded. “Okay.” Estella continued to stare at him, seemingly unsatisfied with his answer.
Right when Lucian looked up, he met her glare in the mirror. Pursing his lips helplessly, he promised, “I promise not to get mad at Ms. Jarvis anymore. I'll talk to her properly no matter what happens. If all things fail, I'll ask for your help.” Estella nodded in approval, and it was only then that a smile returned to her face.
However, her smile faded again as they got nearer to the Farwell residence.
She couldn't help feeling scared when she remembered Aubree’s presence there.
“Daddy, how much longer will she be staying at our house?” Estella inquired carefully.
Lucian naturally knew who she was referring to.

While he was talking to Roxanne earlier, the only thing on his mind was her relationship with Jack.
Now that he thought about it, Roxanne was right.
With Estella’s aversion to Aubree, the former's condition would likely worsen if he continued to let Aubree stay.
However, with Sonya meddling in their matters, he would need to find an appropriate reason to make Aubree leave.
In the end, Lucian could only give Estella a vague answer. “If you don’t like her, I'll make her leave as soon as possible.” Estella bobbed her head in response, albeit reluctantly.
