NovelEnglishEstella, who had yet to calm down, almost burst into tears at the sight of Sonya.
Seeing that, Roxanne quickly hugged Estella tightly. She then stood up to look at Sonya. “Mrs. Farwell, please don’t agitate her. Essie’s still emotionally unstable.” At the stime, Lucian walked over with a frown.
He thought his mother had finally gotten a clear view of the situation after witnessing the way she had treated Aubree earlier.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo his surprise, Sonya had gone looking for Roxanne for trouble after chasing Aubree away.
“I'm just worried about my granddaughter. How is this agitating her emotions?” It had been an emotional day for Sonya. She failed to keep her emotions in check, which made her sound displeased when she uttered those words.
When she finished saying that, she reached out to pull Estella out of Roxanne’s arms. “Chere, Essie. Letsee if there are any injuries on your body.” Panicking, Estella crawled up Roxanne’s shoulders. “Ahh! | want Mommy! | don’t want Grandma! No!” Unfortunately, the way Estella addressed Roxanne only made Sonya scowl more. “Don’t simply address her that way! She’s not your mommy!” Estella only continued crying, oblivious to the words Sonya was yelling.
Lucian, on the other hand, heard everything clearly.
He stood beside Roxanne and the children with a hostile expression. “Mom, what are you trying to do to Essie when she’s already in such a state? Are Aubree’s words not enough to make you reflect on yourself?” Sonya was taken aback by her son’s words. A long moment passed before she said awkwardly, “I'm just worried about Essie.” Rubbing his temples, Lucian suppressed his anger and said, “Do you really? If you really cared about her, why would you keep pushing her to Aubree?” For the past five years, Estella had suffered a lot because of Sonya’s favor for Aubree.
His words eluded Sonya of words.
She looked at Estella with remorse, saying, “I'm sorry, Essie. | just really want to make it up to you.” Then she glowered at Roxanne. “I can avoid touching Essie for the tbeing, but Roxanne has to leave the Farwell residence. Nothing good has happened to our family ever since she appeared. | bet she'll only be satisfied when she wreaks havoc in our family.” Essie wouldn't have suffered so much if Roxanne hadn't ditched her without a word back then.
When Estella heard her grandmother talking about Roxanne that way, tears streamed down her face again. “I want Mommy! Don’t leave, Mommy!” Estella was sobbing so hard that Roxanne did not notice the way she was addressing her.

Roxanne was moved yet pained to see Estella being so protective of her.
However, the scould not be said for Sonya, who was livid. “Don’t you dare think you can actually be Lucian’s wife just because Essie called you her mommy. There are tons of people out there who dream about being in this position. Aubree’s gone now, but there'll soon be another one. In any case, it'll never be you.” Even so, Roxanne ignored her and coaxed Estella softly.
Just then, Lucian stepped forward and stood between Roxanne and Sonya, growling, “Only she can be my wife! If you don’t agree, I'll gladly give up my position as the CEO of Farwell Group!” Both Sonya and Roxanne were dumbfounded by his words.
Sonya knew how much Lucian liked Roxanne, but she had never imagined he would give up Farwell Group for Roxanne.
Roxanne, too, was stupefied.
She had never thought that Lucian would go to such lengths for her.
