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.
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
