Chapter 1043 Safety Not Guaranteed
Lucian furrowed his brows slightly as he sensed what Roxanne would say next would be crucial. However, Roxanne fell silent for a long while. In the end, she ended the conversation abruptly. “I’ll be waiting to hear from you then, Mr. Farwell.”
With that, she hung up the phone. Watching her phone screen fade to black, Roxanne became melancholy. She nearly revealed to him who her children’s father was.
It was because she was terrified Lucian would cover for Aubree even after he found out the truth just because of their wedding. This situation would not happen if Lucian knew he was Archie and Benny’s biological father.
However, she only had the thought to reveal the truth momentarily. Just before Roxanne spoke, she regained her senses and swallowed her words on the tip of her tongue.
Now that Lucian had decided to be with Aubree, Roxanne felt it would only put Archie and Benny in a tight spot if she revealed the truth at this time. As a result, she snuffed out the idea right away.
Meanwhile, Lucian strode back into the mansion after he kept his phone. Then, he told his mother, who was talking to Estella. “I need to leave for something.”
Sonya nodded without saying anything in response.
After that, Lucian looked at Estella with a conflicted look.
Estella only looked up when Lucian entered the door and quickly lowered her head.
She didn’t forget to be mad at him while having an autistic meltdown.
Lucian sighed softly and reminded regardless of whether she would listen, “I’m going back, so be good and don’t wander around.”
Previously, Estella had left on her own to search for Roxanne, worrying Lucian.
To make things worse, Archie and Benny just encountered something terrible.
Sonya glanced at him reproachfully and said, “I’ll take good care of Essie. Do you think everyone is like you, unable to watch over their child?”
Without saying anything further, Lucian whirled around and left the Farwell main residence.
As soon as he arrived at the Farwell residence, he strode in.
“Mr. Farwell, why are you alone? Where is Ms. Estella?”
Catalina was preparing lunch when she saw him come home. Worried, she followed behind him as she looked for Estella.
Lucian’s expression darkened. “Essie will stay at the Farwell main residence for the time being.”
After that, he asked promptly, “Did Archie and Benny come this morning?”
Feeling sorry, Catalina bobbed her head as she thought of Archie and Benny. “They came to look for Ms. Estella, but I asked them to leave at your command.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Lucian’s eyes were full of anger.
Hearing that, Catalina was momentarily stunned and confused.
She clearly remembered Lucian telling her to ask Roxanne and the two children to leave if they ever came.
Thus, she did as he ordered.
What’s going on? Why is he suddenly so mad?
Lucian probed further, “Did you know the two of them got injured while being chased by the juveniles nearby? They almost got beat up.”
“How did that happen?” Shocked, Catalina asked in distress as she looked up at him abruptly.
Lucian furrowed his brows. “The safety of the two children couldn’t even be guaranteed in the vicinity of the Farwell residence!”
Catalina apologized, “It was a mistake on my part. I should have asked someone to send them home.”
At the very least, she felt she should have watched them get into a car safely.
Lucian stopped questioning Catalina and turned to look at Axel Ferguson, the head of security, who stood at the side.
“This happened here due to your ineffective supervision.”
Axel lowered his head in silence and was prepared to be punished.
