    Roxanne did not know how to face Este due to her unpleasant encounters with Lucian.


    She would even avoid talking about Este whenever Archie and Benny brought her up.


    It did not take long for the two sensitive boys to notice Roxanne’s strange attitude toward Este. Even


    though they were not avoiding Este in school, their attitude toward thetter had be colder.


    Este hardly spoke since she had just learned to talk. She would only speak a few words when others


    brought up a topic that she was interested in. Este’s condition gradually returned to its original state


    when Archie and Benny did not take the initiative to talk to her. Furthermore, she had not seen


    Roxanne for a few days.


    Lucian was the only one who noticed the changes in Este.


    A few days ago, Lucian could still hear Este speak up asionally after bringing her home.


    Nevertheless, Este had been unwilling to talk for the past two days.


    Lucian was worried that Este might suffer a rpse. However, the only person who could improve


    Este’s condition had made it clear that she wanted to keep her distance from Lucian.


    The man felt conflicted whenever he thought of Roxanne.


    After picking Este up from school in the evening, Lucian wanted to guide her into speaking by


    following James’ method. “Essie, how are you doing in thest two days? Are you in a bad mood?”


    That kind of one-sided conversation had been going on for several days. Nevertheless, Este


    remained silent.


    Lucian thought it would be the same that day. Surprisingly, the moment he finished speaking, a sweet


    but pitiful voice sounded in the car.


    Pouting, Este said dejectedly, “I didn’t see…”


    “What didn’t you see?” Lucian probed, feeling confused.


    Este mumbled, “Ms. Jarvis.”


    Then, she carefully counted on her fingers before stretching out four fingers. “Four days.”


    I haven’t seen Ms. Jarvis for four days. It was Ms. Lane who picked up Archie and Benny every day.


    Even though Ms. Lane was also kind to me, I still miss Ms. Jarvis dearly.


    Waves of emotions surged within Lucian, knowing fully well that Este could not see Roxanne


    because thetter was avoiding him on purpose.


    Nevertheless, he did not know how to exin the situation to Este.


    Lucian had not seen Roxanne since their argument when he sent her home from the bar that night.


    As Roxanne said, the two of us are merely strangers right now.


    As that thought urred to him, Lucian felt an inexplicable sense of displeasure deep down.


    After a while, he slowly broke out of his reverie.


    Seeing how sullen Este was next to him, Lucian suddenly felt that something was amiss.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Wait. Didn’t she talk with me just now?


    Realizing that, Lucian knitted his brows in amazement.


    As if nothing had happened, he tried to get Este to talk again. “Essie, what did you just say? I didn’t


    hear it earlier. Can you repeat it for me?”


    Este simply kept her head low, revealing the round back of her head and her puffed cheeks. She


    turned a blind ear to his question.


    Despite theck of response, Lucian patiently patted Este’s head before trying to guide her again.


    “You said Ms. Jarvis didn’t pick up the boys from school. Then, who was the one who fetched them


    thesest two days?”


    As soon as he mentioned Roxanne, Este slowly raised her head to look at him.


    Lucian’s heart raced. He was expecting Este to finally reply to him.


    Much to his surprise, Este merely nced at him before shaking her head silently. Then, she lowered


    her head again as if she refused tomunicate with him.
