Chapter 847

Chapter 847 She Already Apologized A moment of silence descended upon the room. When Lucian saw Catalina’s expression, he instinctively turned around. His heart skipped when he saw the state Estella was in. He swiftly reached out and caught Estella. “Be careful.”

At the sight of Lucian holding Estella, Catalina heaved a sigh of relief. Although Estella was only a few steps away from the floor, she was small and fragile. It would be dangerous if she were to fall.

Estella had been in a hurry to chase Lucian that she did not watch her steps. The moment she missed her footing, she was so terrified that she couldn’t make a sound at all.

Although Lucian had caught her in time, she only felt more and more aggrieved. Why didn’t Daddy wait for me?

At that thought, Estella looked up at Lucian with a pout and grumbled, “I couldn’t keep up with you because you were walking too fast.”

Lucian furrowed his brows. He knew that Estella was blaming him for her almost accident. Meeting her eyes, he said helplessly, “Essie, I told you that I’m really busy these days.”

I never knew she was such a stubborn little girl. She’s doing this because she wants to speak up for Roxanne.

Estella looked even more upset when she heard Lucian.

I almost tripped, but it seems that Daddy doesn’t plan to listen to what I have to say. If this drags on, when will Daddy and Ms. Jarvis be together?

Faced with Estella’s pitiful countenance, Lucian sighed inwardly.

He just couldn’t help but give in to her.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you, but we only have three minutes. I have to leave after three minutes.”

Immediately, Estella’s eyes lit up. She bobbed her head obediently and asked, “Were you angry at Ms.

Jarvis last night?”

Lucian nodded.

His fury was written all over his face the night before. Even if he denied it, Estella probably wouldn’t believe him.

Puffing her cheeks, Estella said adorably, “Daddy, can you forgive Ms. Jarvis? She already apologized to me last night!”

Lucian raised his brow at that.

What kind of logic is that? Why do I have to forgive Roxanne just because she apologized to Essie?

Indeed, Lucian was mad because of how Roxanne treated Estella. However, her attitude toward him was also one of the reasons for his anger.

Estella refused to give up. She continued seriously, “Ms. Jarvis already knows that she was wrong. If you still don’t forgive her, I will be sad!”

Left with no choice, Lucian scrunched his eyebrows and said, “All right, I’ll forgive her.”

He figured Estella wouldn’t let him go if he didn’t give in that day.

Even after hearing his words, Estella stared at him doubtfully for a while.

Lucian did not give her time to speak. He put her down on the floor and said, “Time’s up. I have to go to work now. Stay at home and be good.”

Noticing that he was just trying to get this over with, Estella felt a bit agitated.

She wanted to stop him, but Lucian stroked her head and turned around right away. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Catalina to take good care of Estella.
