Chapter 607
After Jonathan spent the entire night analyzing the situation for Lucian, the latter finally agreed with a frown.
On the way back home, Lucian continued to playback Jonathan‘s words in his mind.
It‘s not like I don‘t want to lower myself in front of her. It‘s just that she gets on my nerves so much that I just can‘t
control myself.
Now that he thought about it, Lucian was again filled with remorse.
It looks like I have no choice but to get a grip on my temper. After all, I‘m the reason why our relationship became
this way.
By the time he returned to the Farwell residence, it was almost ten in the evening.
Usually, Estella would already be asleep at that hour.
However, when he opened the mansion door, he could hear the sound of her room door opening at the same time.

When he caught her gaze, Lucian‘s brows furrowed quizzically. Casting his thoughts about Roxanne aside, he
changed out of his shoes before walking upstairs to her.
“Why aren‘t you sleeping yet?”
Estella looked up at her father with sparkling eyes that were brimming with innocence. “When are we going to see
Ms. Jarvis again?”
When school was over earlier, it was Lysa who picked the brothers up.
Having heard of Roxanne’s injury, Pippa asked Lysa about it out of concern.
When Estella, who had planned to visit Roxanne in two days, overheard their conversation and learned of the
latter‘s injury, she wanted to go to Roxanne‘s side at once.
Initially, she planned to get Lucian to take her when he picked her up from school but didn‘t expect to not see him
at all.
Thus, she waited up for him so that she could tell him her plan.
Upon hearing her request, Lucian fell deep into thought before a gentle glint flashed
in his eyes. “I‘ll take you there once I‘m done with work.”
With her lips pursed, Estella gave him a reluctant look. “But Ms. Jarvis‘ injury would have healed by then.”
Thinking about Roxanne‘s wound, Lucian felt his heart sink as a grim expression descended upon his face.
Given how enraged she was during the day, I wonder if it had affected her recovery.
“Daddy...” Estella gave his sleeve a wary tug.
Lucian reached out his hand to tousle her hair. “Essie, do you trust me?”
She fell into a brief silence before giving him a slow nod.
Seeing her response, Lucian sighed in relief discreetly.
“Ms. Jarvis needs to rest for a few days. Also, she‘ll be tired from taking care of the brothers. Therefore, we‘ll just

really want her to recover as soon as possible, then listen to me. Once I‘m done with: my work, we‘ll visit her
together.”
Despite nodding half–heartedly, Estella‘s longing for Roxanne caused a pitiful look to appear on her face.
Stroking her puffy cheeks, Lucian leaned down to hold her hand. “If you‘re really worried, you can also ask the boys
about her condition.”
Just to reassure her further, Lucian made a remark that he himself didn‘t believe in. “Now that Ms. Jarvis is no
longer avoiding us, I‘ll take you to see her whenever you want once I have finished my work.”
Finally convinced, Estella nodded obediently.
As Lucian watched her fall asleep, his expression gradually darkened.
