Chapter 49 After Roxanne’s anger receded, she realized how funny the

situation was. Indeed, I don’t have any rights. In his eyes, I never had any.

She dropped her gaze to the floor, concealing the self-deprecation in them.

Without saying anything. she forced herself to remove Estella’s grip from her

sleeve. Estella’s little fingers wanted to reach for her again, but Roxanne

grabbed it mid-air. “Archie and Benny are still waiting for me in the car. I have

to go to them. Be a good girl and go with your dad.” Roxanne ruffled Estella’s

head gently and released the latter’s hand. With a hurried farewell to the

teacher, Roxanne turned on her heels and rushed out the front door without

another glance back. Back in the car, Archie and Benny were sitting upright.

When they saw Roxanne getting in the car, they asked innocently, “Mommy,

what’s wrong?” Roxanne sucked in a deep breath before plastering a forced

smile. “Nothing. Let’s go home.”

She started up the car and pulled away from the kindergarten. noveldramaMeanwhile, Lucian was still rooted in place. Shooting a sharp gaze at the

teacher, he asked, “Are her sons attending here too?” The teacher didn’t know

what went on between the two parents but could sense the tension coming off

of Lucian. Feeling the pressure, the teacher answered hesitantly, “Yeah. Ms.

Jarvis’ twins attend our kindergarten-” Before the teacher could finish, he

interrupted coldly, “When did they start?” “Just… a few days ago,” the teacher

replied carefully. “Inform the head of the kindergarten to remove the boys from

the list. If you don’t do as I ask, Farwell Group won’t be investing in this

kindergarten anymore.” Lucian’s expression turned hostile. Not allowing the

teacher the time to digest his words, he carried Estella into his arms and

strode to

the front door. Upon arriving at the parking lot, Lucian noticed the car parked

beside his was already gone. Withdrawing his gaze, he carried Estella into the

car without a pause in his step. The minute he got into the car, Estella

struggled violently in his arms. Lucian loosened his grip on her, letting her

crawl to the other side of the seat. Estella took out her notebook angrily and

scribbled something on it with force. A while later, her hand stopped. Estella

was furious this time as she turned her notebook around and sat there glaring

at Lucian instead of crawling over to him to yank on his sleeve for his

attention. Lucian sighed silently and turned his head over to peer at Estella

with a frown. The entire length of the paper only had one sentence scribbled

across it: Why are you not letting Archie and Benny come to kindergarten?

Seeing Lucian finally turn his attention to her, Estella angrily shoved the

notebook closer to his face. The crease between Lucian’s brows deepened at

her actions. He withdrew his gaze and said, “No particular reason. I did it

because I could and wanted to. That’s the answer I can give if you insist on

one.” Upon finishing his sentence, he heard movement coming from the seat

beside him. He turned and saw Estella angrily throw her notebook to the side

and clung to the door. She even leaned her head out of the window. Despite

not saying anything, her whole body was exuding an “I- don’t-want-to-look-at-

you” vibe. Lucian arched his brow at her body language. “You getting mad

isn’t going to change my mind.” Estella furiously snapped her head to him and

shot him a death glare. Daddy is the worst! I hate Daddy the most! I like the

beautiful Ms. Jarvis and Archie and Benny. Why did Daddy have to fight with

her and even forbade Archie and Benny to attend kindergarten? Estella was

crestfallen at the thought of never being able to see Archie and Benny at the

kindergarten anymore. Daddy is too unreasonable! I don’t want to like him

anymore!
