The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 864 I Watched Essie Grow Up

Lucian felt slightly helpless when he heard James' words. When did I try to oppose Essie? All this while, he had been trying to get Roxanne back.

However, Roxanne had not been moved by his actions. She even got close to another man. How could he stand that?

Did he not have the right to get angry? James stared at him with a grim expression. "Based on my observations, Ms. Jarvis is a good candidate to be Essie's mother. She takes good care of Essie. The only shortcoming is that she has two other children." He took a sip of his coffee. With a meaningful look, he probed, "You wouldn't care about those two children's existence given your personality, would you?" Lucian pursed his lips. "You should know this is not something I can decide."

In other words, he was telling James it was not him who could not accept the two children. It was Roxanne who wouldn't accept him.

Surprise flashed across James' eyes. He did not expect Lucian to encounter this kind of situation, given the latter's qualifications.
