Chapter 352 Aversion

Noticing that her father had given her no response, Estella pushed her plate forward and egged Lucian on.

Estella stopped and turned around to look at Lucian in a puzzled manner.

Lucian met her gaze and could no longer restrain himself as he asked, "Did you go to Ms. Jarvis' place today?"
