The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 1058 Who Are You

Even though Roxanne and Lucian knew what Archie would say, they were still moved when they heard the boy actually put his thoughts into words.

After looking down at Archie, Roxanne silently shifted her gaze to Lucian. If possible, I, too, wish Essie could stay a moment longer, at least until she calms down. Unfortunately, she knew she had no right to make such a request. Only after keeping quiet for a few seconds did Lucian turn to meet Roxanne's gaze. Clenching her fists, Roxanne then looked away and pretended to be calm. "What do you think, Ms. Jarvis?" inquired Lucian in his deep voice.

Roxanne reluctantly replied, "I have no say in the matter since Essie is your child, Mr. Farwell. However, I do hope that you'll respect her wishes."

Since Roxanne did not intend to request him to let Estella stay, Lucian nodded understandingly in response and turned to Estella. "Then you should come home with me." Estella had just stopped crying, but after hearing her father's words, her face began to scrunch up again.
