Chapter 1028 Adding Fuel To The Fire
Jonathan had wanted to try persuading him further, but Lucian cut him off, “I have a meeting to attend. We’ll talk
about this some other time.” Jonathan had no choice but to get up and leave the office.
After stepping out of Farwell Group, Jonathan thought about the advice he had given Lucian earlier and regretted
every single word he said.
If I had known things were that bad between them, I would’ve changed the way I worded my sentences! Now, look
what I’ve done! Not only did Roxanne show no interest in Lucian whatsoever, but he has also given up on winning
her over! Honestly, I feel really bad for Essie.
She really likes Roxanne and wants her to become her mother someday. The best part about this is the fact that
Roxanne is her biological mother. However, she’s in for a huge disappointment, as Lucian has already given up on

Of course, Lucian had thought about the exact same thing. He showed up outside the kindergarten later that
afternoon. Pippa quickly brought Estella to the front gate after receiving his call. “Mr. Farwell, why—”
She was going to ask Lucian why he wanted to bring Estella home all of a sudden but held her tongue when she saw
his gloomy expression.
“I mean, I’ve already approved Essie’s leave…”
Lucian nodded and motioned for Estella to come with him.
Estella was somewhat reluctant to leave. “Do we have to go home right now, Daddy? Could I at least wait till school
is over?”
She wanted to at least say goodbye to Archie and Benny before going home.
Lucian nodded expressionlessly. “Come here.”
Estella had no choice but to do as told and stepped out of the school. “Ms. Ward, could you please tell Archie and
Benny that I’m going home now?”
“Okay!” Pippa replied with a smile.
The look in Lucian’s eyes grew cold when he saw how close Estella was to Archie and Benny.
After walking hand in hand with Lucian for a bit, Estella glanced at him in confusion and asked, “Why are we going
home so suddenly, Daddy? Did something happen?”
Lucian paused in his tracks and met her eyes. “I’m planning on transferring you to another kindergarten.”
Estella froze in shock.
What? I’m transferring to another kindergarten? Does that mean I won’t get to play with Archie and Benny
anymore?
“No! I don’t want to transfer to another kindergarten!” Estella protested.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe didn’t even want to go to kindergarten at first, but having Archie and Benny around made it a fun place for her.
She would rather quit than transfer to another one.
“Then you can attend kindergarten at home instead. I’ll hire the best teachers for you,” Lucian replied and began
leading her toward the head of kindergarten’s office.
“No! I don’t want to!” Estella grabbed the hem of Lucian’s shirt and refused to transfer no matter what.
If I transfer to another kindergarten, I won’t be able to see Ms. Jarvis, Archie, and Benny again!
“Why do I have to transfer to another kindergarten, Daddy? You’re the one who fought with Ms. Jarvis, not me! I
don’t even see Ms. Jarvis at school!” she sobbed, adding fuel to the fire.
Lucian’s face darkened.
“I’m not transferring to another kindergarten!” Estella repeated with tears in her eyes.
Eventually, Lucian gave in and gave her a reassuring pat on the head.
“We’ll talk about this at home,” he said as he carried Estella into his car.
