Chương 52: I want to meet you

Lucian's hands paused. "I'm coming back now." Hanging up the phone, he drove back to the Farwell residence.

"What happened? There's so many of you watching her, so how can she go missing?" Lucian questioned once he stepped foot in the mansion.

In the living room, all the household staff stood nervously. Lucian's anger was burning so brightly that they didn't dare to lift their heads. The butler answered cautiously, "We're not sure. Ms. Estella had gone back to her room after having breakfast this morning. When Catalina went upstairs a few hours later, she couldn't find Ms. Estella anywhere."

Lucian's brows furrowed with displeasure. "What about the surveillance cameras?"

The butler responded with a defeated look on his face, "Mr. Farwell, the surveillance cameras… we're not sure when they turned off. Coincidentally, there's no recording of this morning." Hearing that, Lucian's expression had darkened tremendously.

The living room fell into dead silence. The staff all bowed their heads with dread, hunching their shoulders, making themselves as small as possible.

They even hoped they could hide within the crack of the tiles. Who could've thought we would lose Ms. Estella twice in such a short period.

Furthermore, she slipped away right under our noses. If anything happens to Ms. Estella, Mr. Farwell will fire us. Lucian looked up and saw the bodyguards he sent to protect Estella were among the staff. The sight just fuelled his rage.

"What are you guys standing there for? Get moving and search for her! If you can't find her, then all of you are fired." The bodyguards immediately obliged and strode out of the mansion urgently without a backward glance.

Distress filled Roxanne as she looked at the little girl in front of her. It's getting late. I should be taking the boys to the research institute, but Estella's sudden appearance has messed up my plan. Furthermore, she took a cab here by herself. I can't exactly send her back on her own.

After a short silence, Roxanne huffed out a resigned sigh as she stood to let Estella into the house. "Come on in."

Estella's eyes sparkled as she nodded fervently and followed Roxanne into the mansion.

"Have you had breakfast?" Roxanne asked. Estella sat on the couch and nodded obediently. Roxanne and the boys took a seat beside Estella. After a brief

hesitation, Roxanne asked. "Can you tell me if you're really here to play with Archie and Benny? Or are you running away from home like last time? Does your family know you're here?" Estella tilted her head to the side and scribbled on the notebook.

Archie's and Benny's faces were staid. "Do you know someone can kidnap you if you meet a bad person when you take the cab? Didn't our teacher teach us not to leave the house alone?"

By the time they finished speaking, Estella had already done writing and showed the notebook to them.

She wrote a sentence across the blank page: I want to meet Ms. Jarvis, Archie, and Benny. Roxanne frowned. "You… you ran away from home because of us?" Estella nodded her head firmly before she started to write in her notebook again. She scribbled: Like. Roxanne was confused this time. Like? Like what? "You like us?" Archie guessed. Estella nodded again.

Roxanne's heart softened at Estella's admission. This little girl is so sweet. Honestly, I really like her. Even though she is Lucian's child with another woman, I can't bring myself to hate such an obedient child after getting to know her for the past few days.

However, it's still too dangerous for her to do what she did. "Thank you for liking us, but it's wrong for a child to run away from home. Your dad must be worried sick. Is it okay if I inform him?"

After contemplating, Roxanne asked for Estella's opinion softly. Even though I really don't want to have any contact with Lucian, it's a fact that his child is with me. As a parent, I knew he must be terribly worried. Estella cast her eyes downward, hiding the unwillingness that rose within her.

Daddy is a big meanie. The beautiful Ms. Jarvis, Archie, and Benny are all so good to me, but Daddy doesn't let me talk to them.

What am I going to do? Ms. Jarvis' voice is so gentle. A few seconds later, Estella finally nodded obediently.


Chương 53: I like you too

Roxanne looked up Lucian's number from her contact list. She had saved it only because she didn't want to miss his call back when Estella had wandered off from home.

It was now that the woman remembered she had saved his contact's name as just "A." After changing it to his actual name, Roxanne dialled the number.

Lucian was about to head out and look for Estella on his own when his phone rang.

Seeing the name on his screen, his eyes narrowed as he answered the call. "It's me." Roxanne's voice came from across the line. Lucian scoffed internally

at the thought of how she had escaped his previous antics. "What do you want?" he asked in the same frigid tone the woman used.

Roxanne glanced at the little girl beside her. What's with that tone? I would've hung up right away if it weren't for the child! "Essie came looking for me first thing in the morning. Come and get her if you're free. Or you can tell me your address, and I'll take her there."

Upon hearing that, Lucian furrowed his brows slightly. "Give me your address." "32, Durwest Garden." The man hung up right after that. Roxanne breathed an internal sigh of relief as she watched her screen turn black. She turned toward the little girl standing beside her, saying, "Your daddy's coming over to pick you up. Be a good girl and go home with him, okay?"

Estella nodded but secretly began pondering over her next move. She had finally gotten the chance to be with this pretty lady and didn't want to have to leave so soon. But Daddy's on his way here.

What should I do to be able to stay Unfortunately, Archie saw through her intentions immediately and crossed his arms.

"Your daddy hates my mommy, so he's definitely not going to let you stay. I suggest you give up on the idea." Estella's gaze darkened as she heard that. It's true. Daddy doesn't like her. He even argues with her in front of me. But I like Ms. Jarvis! The girl had left home early this morning just to see Roxanne. She didn't know why, but she just liked this woman so much.

The two hadn't spent much time together, but Estella adored Roxanne so much more compared to Catalina, her everyday caretaker. That's right! The child's eyes lit up again. She had brought gifts for Roxanne and the two boys when she left home

this morning. Remembering that, she swiftly jumped off the couch and rummaged through her little backpack.

Then, she took out a tiny yet exquisite crystal ball and held it in front of Roxanne with two hands. The woman stared at her in puzzlement. Estella took another step forward while continuing to hold the gift, her eyes full of anticipation. Roxanne slowly took the crystal ball from her. "Is this… for me?" Estella nodded and wrote in her notebook: For you. I like you!

Roxanne couldn't help but laugh. "Thank you, Essie. I like you a lot too," she responded, caressing the girl's head. Archie and Benny hadn't expected the little girl to bring gifts, and they, too, jumped off the couch. "You gave Mommy a gift? What about us?

Do we get any too?" Estella nodded with a smile and dug around in her backpack again.

Soon, she took out two race-car figurines and trotted over to the boys. Archie's and Benny's eyes twinkled instantly. They had always enjoyed playing with these since they were young, and Roxanne would often buy such toys for them.

In fact, they had had their eyes on these two particular car models for a while now, but they hadn't come up with a good reason to ask their mother to buy them. These figurines were also a little expensive. And yet, Estella had bought them.

The boys could easily confirm that these figurines were genuine.
