Sonya thought she had successfully provoked Roxanne. Little did she know that the more she talked, the more ridiculous Roxanne found her. Sonya is able to overthink so much after I faked Archie’s and Benny’s ages. If she finds out who
Archie and Benny are and recalls what she said today, I wonder how she will react. Roxanne remained expressionless. “If you think so, then that’s exactly it.”
Sonya was downright infuriated by her nonchalant response. “If that’s the case, leave Lucian and Essie alone! I know of your tactics to get close to Lucian!”
Roxanne gave her a confused look. I don’t even know my tactics. Sonya bellowed, “You’re making use of the fact that Essie likes you! Do you think you can become Essie’s mother through this?
Don’t even think about it. It will never be you! You’re only lucky you have two children similar to Essie’s age. Once Aubree gives birth in the future, Essie will like her too!”
Sonya thought it was ironic when she heard what Estella called Roxanne at the restaurant. It also reminded her that Roxanne didn’t know. that Estella was her own daughter.
If Roxanne were to find out, she wouldn’t have let Estella call her Aunt Roxanne. Sonya planned to use this to drive Roxanne away from her son. “The family will do whatever it takes to find Essie’s mother.
She will be the next Mrs. Farwell. It will never be you!” Sonya sounded determined. Roxanne furrowed her brows in surprise. No matter what it takes? Does that mean that the Farwell family doesn’t know who Essie’s mother is? Does Lucian know?
Sonya was furious upon seeing Roxanne lost in thought. She suppressed her anger and enunciated, “While I’m still speaking to you nicely, you’d better be sensible. Take what you want and leave Horington. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not considering that you were once my daughter-in-law!”
Roxanne snapped back to reality, and her lips curled into a wry smile. “Since when have you ever cared about that?” Sonya had never treated her as her daughter-in- law.
It sounded like a joke to Roxanne. Sonya stiffened, not knowing how to reply to this.
Roxanne took a sip of her coffee. She didn’t even cast Sonya a glance as she uttered, “Also, you can’t give me what I want. I will pretend as if we didn’t have this conversation today. It’s getting late. You should head back.”
After a long moment, Sonya finally said stiffly, “You should know what’s good for you!” Roxanne opened the door for her calmly. “I won’t be seeing you off.”
It was so obvious she was chasing Sonya out of the house. It would be awkward if Sonya continued to stay. After a moment of consideration, Sonya walked out of the mansion with a grim expression.
Roxanne immediately closed the door behind her. She had wanted to have a proper discussion with Sonya, but she didn’t realize that the latter would be this hostile toward her.
She had had no choice but to face her head on. In fact, Sonya’s statement that she was looking for Estella’s mother left her with a deep impression.
She did not expect that the Farwell family still didn’t know who Estella’s mother was. If the woman is unwilling to reveal herself, does that mean I can truly take care of Essie in her stead?
