Chapter 402


    Chapter 402


    It was alreadyte in the night when Lucian returned to the Farwell residence


    Este had already fallen asleep a long while ago.


    Lucian‘s heart ached when he was reminded of how Roxanne hadpletely avoided mentioning


    Este just now. He went upstairs to Este‘s room.


    The little girl had a serene sleeping posture. Shey on her side with half her face covered with


    nket, seemingly sound asleep.


    Lucian‘s gaze softened at the sight of his daughter. He lifted his arm and patted her head. Then, he


    tucked her in before getting up and left.


    Just when he reached the door, he suddenly heard a sound behind him as if Este was sobbing.


    He stopped abruptly in his tracks, turned on his heels, and returned to her bedside. Lucian gently


    pulled away the nket covering Este‘s face and saw her brows furrowed, eyes shut, and beads of


    tears staining her long eyshes.


    He wondered what kind of nightmare she was experiencing


    Lucian felt sorrowful when he saw her daughter in that state. He raised his hand, wanting to wipe the


    tears off Este‘s face.


    However, at that moment, she muttered in her sleep, “Ms. Jarvis… Don‘t go, Ms. Jarvis…”


    Lucian frowned upon hearing that.


    In the past few days, he left right after coaxing Este to sleep. Even when he checked in on her in the


    middle of the night, he merely nced if Este had kicked her nket away before turning to leave.


    How many times has Essie experienced simr dreams without my knowledge? Essie misses Roxanne


    so much. Yet, Roxanne was so merciless. She waspletely unfazed even when she heard of


    Essie‘s condition,


    Al that thought, Lucian felt the temperature around him dropped.


    Este seemed to be frightened by him in her sleep because she suddenly started bawling


    He snapped back to his senses, carefully carried Este, who was still wrapped in the nket, and


    clumsily palled her back.


    “It‘s all righi, Essie Daddy is here.”


    However, Este continues to cry her eyes out. “No. Don‘t go. Boohoo…”

    Lucian‘s frown deepened as he listened to Este‘s wails.


    How could I not hear her if this is how loudly she cries?


    Just when he was ming himself for hisck of attentiveness, Este woke up. She groggily hugged


    his neck, staining Lucian‘s clothes with her tears.


    Lucian did not mind. He asked with concern, “Don‘t cry, Essie. Daddy is here. Tell me. What did you


    dream about?”


    Este had yet to recollect herself as she whimpered Roxanne, Archie, and Benny‘s names.


    Needless to say, she had dreamt of the scene when Roxanne, Archie, and Benny left.


    Lucian could not bring himself to probe Este further. He tightened his arms around her in an


    embrace.


    After a long while, she was finally wide awake. She pushed herself away from him by supporting her


    tiny arms on Lucian‘s shoulder.


    He freed one of his arms to wipe the tears off her face. “Did you dream of Ms. Jarvis?”


    She nodded in grievances.


    Este had a dream about Roxanne, Archie, and Benny boarding a ne. She called them, but they


    ignored her, so she had no choice but to chase after their ne. However, Este failed to catch up


    with them and even tripped over.


    When she was reminded of the scenes in her dreams, Este‘s eyes reddened again.


    “Be good. Ms. Jarvis has yet to leave. I just met with her just now.” Lucian tried his best to suppress his


    dissatisfaction toward Roxanne and tenderlyforted his daughter.


    Este leaned closer to him doubtfully and took a snilf with her nose wrinkled. Her face gradually


    ckened when she caught a whiff of Roxanne‘s body odor on Lucian.


    Lucian asked again in concern, “Do you have this kind of dream every night, Essie?”


    She pursed her lips and shook her head.
