Mission To Remarry Novel Chapter 1088 – Consequences of Being Unappreciative
After coming out of the study, Aubree headed straight for Estella’s room while trying her best to school her expression.
Though she wished Estella could just disappear, she was currently under “evaluation.” She would only truly become Lucian’s woman after gaining
the girl’s favor.
As long as she could succeed, she didn’t mind putting on an act longer. She’s just a kid. I’m sure she’ll take the bait if I put my mind to it.
With that in mind, Aubree knocked on Estella’s door with a faint smile.
Estella thought that it was Lucian or Catalina, so she skipped over to open the door. “It’s been a while, Essie.”
Aubree put on a smile, which she assumed was friendly enough, and bent down to greet Estella.
Upon seeing the woman, Estella was reminded of the things that had happened before.
She looked around and noticed there was no one else in the corridor. Ms. Pearson used to bully me when no one was around.
stella shrank backward and hid behind the door, only revealing a pair of wary eyes.
Aubree was well aware of the reason Estella was scared, so she was unbothered by the latter’s behavior. “Don’t be scared.
I know that I’ve done wrong. Don’t worry, Essie. I promise to be nice to you from now on. I’ll treat you like my own daughter,” she said.
As if worried that Estella wouldn’t believe her, she grinned and added, “Your daddy already scolded me. I know you get scared easily, so I won’t scare you
anymore.”
By saying that, Aubree was implying that she had gotten Lucian’s permission to come here and meet Estella.
When Estella heard what Aubree said, she remembered what Lucian had told her when he left the room.
Daddy said Ms. Pearson will be coming to spend time with me. So that was true?
Based on what Ms. Pearson said, it was Daddy who asked her to come here.
As that realization dawned upon Estella, she forgot about her fear and started to fret.
Daddy used to keep me away from Ms. Pearson because I don’t like her. Even when we met, Daddy would stay by my side.
But now, Daddy asked her to come to me on her own. Does this mean he’s really not planning to pursue Ms. Jarvis anymore?
Panic flashed across Estella’s eyes. What should I do so Daddy can change his mind?
Seeing Estella standing rooted to her spot, Aubree thought that the girl was scared.
or some reason, she suddenly recalled an action Roxanne had done to Estella.
She reached out to stroke Estella’s head in an attempt to imitate Roxanne. Estella snapped back to her senses right away and dodged in terror.
Because of her previous experiences, she instinctively assumed that Aubree was going to hit her. Aubree’s hand froze in the air.
Rage rushed through her when she thought of the huge difference in Estella’s attitude toward her and Roxanne.
If this were before, she would have made Estella learn the consequences of being unappreciative. It would be perfect timing to do so since no one was with them.
However, she had just talked with Lucian. Aubree suppressed the burning anger in her and flashed a smile at Estella.
“Essie, I know I scared you before. Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you again n the future.
Right after Aubree said that, she vaguely heard a sound from the study door.
Knowing that Lucian had come out, she put on an even more earnest expression. “If you still hate me for what I did, I’ll let you hit me back. How about that?”
