The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1155

Chapter 1155

“I’ll be picking Essie up this evening. Go back to your meeting,” Lucian said to Aubree in a frosty tone.

The woman dared not say anything else.

After all, it had been hard for her to get him to give her another chance, and she did not want to mess things up again.

Only after watching Lucian leave did Aubree plod back into her car.

However, she did not drive toward Pearson Group.

The meeting she mentioned earlier was only a lie to make Lucian think that Estella was important to her.

The Pearsons had come to one tacit conclusion-Aubree’s most important task was to get Lucian to marry her as soon as possible.

Hence, her father had been taking care of everything in Pearson Group while she only went there once in a while. Most of her time was spent thinking of ways to get in Lucian’s good graces.

Just as her hard work was finally coming to fruition, Roxanne’s few sentences destroyed all the time and effort she had poured into the matter.

Enraged, Aubree wished she could skin Roxanne alive.

“Essie’s… doing okay. Her teacher takes very good care of her.”

That was the only thing Roxanne could think of to say to them.

Technically, it was not a lie. The teacher in Estella’s class was sure to focus more on the little girl after that. incident.

Regardless of whether or not Estella would get on well with her classmates, she would never be bullied.

Finding their mother’s response strange, the boys worriedly asked, “Then did Essie see you?”

Roxanne nodded stiffly.

“Then, Mommy, did you tell her that we miss her a lot too?” Benny queried in his adorable voice.

Roxanne kept her eyes focused on the road, not daring to meet the boys’ innocent gazes. “I did.”
