The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 745 Acting

Aubree's expression darkened as she stared at Lucian's back. Even though he had agreed to let her stay in the manor, it was obvious he intended to ignore her presence.

Of course, she wasn't going to allow that to happen. Meanwhile, after Lucian left the room, he strode to Estella's bedroom before knocking on the door. "Open up, Essie."

So, he grabbed the key, unlocked the door, and entered the room.

When he entered the room, he saw his daughter sitting on the bed while hugging her knees, curling into a ball. From his angle, she looked so tiny.
