Chapter 270

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Estella thought it was Roxanne and the boys who had returned. Her eyes lit up, and she leaped off the
bed, dashing over to open the door.

The second she saw the person at the door, the sparkle in her eyes faded.

“Essie.” The smile on Aubree‘s face looked forced.

Aubree was, after all, a woman. On top of that, she had to walk along the mountain path

to reach the hotel. Most importantly, Lucian seemed to have no intentions of waiting for

her. He had merely carried Estella in his arms and strode off.

After walking for some time, she was left behind, and she had lost sight of them.

Thankfully, there was only one hotel nearby, and that was how she had found them.

After asking the receptionist for their room number, she headed straight for the room.

Seeing who the visitor was, Lucian, too, was unhappy.

However, Aubree pretended as if she did not see the change in their expressions. With a smile on her fac
e, she entered the room and glanced at Estella, saying, “Aren‘t you

feeling unwell? Why aren‘t you resting in bed?”

When she finished her words, she gave Lucian a reproachful look. “Didn‘t I tell you

already? I‘ll take care of Essie.”



Lucian knitted his brows. “Essie‘s just a little tired. If you have no other matters, you

should go home as soon as possible.”

Aubree‘s expression froze, and she racked her brains in search of an excuse to stay

back.

As she was thinking about it, she suddenly spotted the pink luggage at the bedside.

It did not look like it belonged to Lucian no matter how hard she stared at it.

“This is…” Aubree asked in puzzlement, eyeing the luggage suspiciously.

Lucian followed her line of sight and said plainly, “That belongs to a parent of Essie‘s

classmate. There weren‘t enough rooms, so I had to squeeze into someone else‘s.”

Upon hearing that, Aubree shot him a look of surprise. “You‘re sharing a room with a

woman?”

Lucian‘s gaze darkened.

If it were another woman, he, naturally, would not agree to it.

However, that woman was Roxanne.

They were once husband and wife and had intimate moments back then. Thus, there

was nothing to be shy about.



Moreover, they were very cautious by making sure they put on pajamas when they slept. In fact, they rar
ely spoke to each other.

When Aubree noticed the luggage, she immediately realized that the woman was most likely Roxanne an
d disgust rose in her heart.
