Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 846 I Wanted To Tell You Something

Lucian woke up later than usual the next morning, having spent the night before following online discussions of Herbscape Group’s scandals.

When he opened his room door, he was instantly greeted by the sight of a furious little girl. He knew Estella was angry at him because he did not check in on her after getting home last night.

Lucian frowned, but he hid his frustration well. She was his child, after all, and he was not about to ignore her. He pretended not to notice her fury as he asked, “Essie, why are you looking for me so early in the morning?”

Estella looked up at her father and said grumpily, “Daddy’s a meanie! Daddy doesn’t care about me at all!”

Lucian’s brows arched in surprise. He did not expect his daughter to arrive at such a conclusion.

“Why would you say that?” he asked calmly despite knowing the reason behind her petulance.

Estella puffed up her cheeks in anger, but it soon deflated into sadness as she whined, “Ms. Catalina said you came home last night.”
