Chapter 1090 Talk About the Engagement
“No!” Estella was livid to see her father going along with the mean lady. Furiously, she threw her fork away, jumped off her chair, and dashed up the stairs.
At the sight of the girl’s tantrum, Aubree was enraged, but she had to keep up with her act. “Essie!” she yelled, quickly putting down her fork and going to run after the girl.
Right as she stood up, Lucian stopped her. “Let her be.” Aubree pretended to look troubled. “But Essie, she—”
Lucian was unfazed. “It’s good for her to calm down by herself too. I spoiled her too much by letting her get anything she wanted in the past.”
On his journey back, Lucian had mulled over the matter of Estella destroying Jack’s tire.
Even though he could understand why she had done that, those were actions that he could not just let go of since she was already getting better with her condition.
It was time for him to correct the way she expressed herself.

Glee filled Aubree’s mind, but she put on a look of guilt on her face. “This is all because of me. I know Essie doesn’t like me, and I know I can’t rush her into liking me, but I still
insisted on staying for the meal. It’s my fault Essie didn’t get to eat her food properly.”
Lucian lifted his head to glance at her. “This has nothing to do with you. She has to face this fact eventually.” With that, he nonchalantly returned to his meal. “Let’s continue
eating.”
A trace of delight danced across Aubree’s eyes when she heard him say that, and she sat back down in her seat.
After dinner, Aubree suggested with faked concern that she wanted to check on Estella upstairs.

Unsurprisingly, Lucian rejected her suggestion and told her that Estella needed to calm down first.
Aubree did not insist after that. “I’ll go back first, then. Don’t worry and focus on your work. I’ll be visiting Essie as often as I can.”
Lucian nodded. “You know what kind of girl Essie is. If you want her to accept you, you’ll have to be patient.”
Aubree did not expect him to give her a tip.
“I will. Even if Essie keeps ignoring me, I’ll still take good care of her!”
Lucian said nothing else and told Catalina to send her off.
After exiting the Farwell residence, Aubree could no longer hide the joy on her face.
“Aubree, what took you so long?” was the question Gina asked her when she finally returned to the Pearson residence. “Dinner’s already cold. I’ll get someone to heat it up
again. Wash up and come back downstairs for dinner.”
Aubree halted in her tracks and smiled. “I’ve already had dinner.”

The thought of how she had had dinner with Lucian earlier brought a satisfied smile to Aubree’s lips. “With Lucian.”
Gina sat upright instantly, and a nervous look appeared on her face. “What did Lucian say? Did he talk to you about the engagement again?”
Ever since Roxanne came back to the country, Lucian had never bothered to contact Aubree himself.
There were a few times when Aubree had gone to him, but he had just gone on and on about breaking off the engagement.
Gina assumed that was what Lucian had talked to Aubree about again.
However, the look on her daughter’s face made the flame of hope burn in her chest. “Or has he decided to keep the engagement as it is?”
Aubree nodded in affirmation before conveying to her mother what Lucian had said to her.
After listening to what had happened, Gina nodded fervently. “That’s unimportant. These are all not important as long as he cuts ties with Roxanne and keeps his engagement
to you…”
