Mission To Remarry

Chapter 990 Leave Essie To Me

“Lucian…” Aubree’s expression stiffened when she saw him. “Why are you here? I thought you were indisposed, so I came to fetch Essie.”

Lucian glanced at her calmly. “I don’t recall asking you to do such a thing.” The expressions of the people around them changed the moment they heard the words.

Pippa began to feel fearful. Although she knew about Aubree and Lucian’s relationship and that Aubree would not dare to do anything drastic to the little girl, Estella was not an ordinary little girl.
