“I’ll send you guys home.” Wearing a tender expression, Lucian stared at his four loved ones, who were visibly happy.
The children were over the moon when they heard that Lucian would be sending them home, so much so that they could not help but cheer out loud.
Initially, Roxanne was hesitant about Lucian’s suggestion. However, when she saw how happy the children were and the man’s affectionate gaze, she could not bring herself to turn him down.
Carrying Estella with one arm, she was about to reach out and take the boys’ hands when Lucian bent down to pick them up. “Wow! It’s so tall!”
Excitement was written all over Benny’s face. when Lucian carried him. Archie obediently stayed put in Lucian’s arms, struggling to suppress his excitement.
Roxanne could not help but smile when she saw how exhilarated the boys were. She picked up her pace and trailed behind Lucian. When Sonya entered the manor, Roxanne and the others were already gone.
“Where’s Lucian?” she asked Catalina coldly. Sonya was unhappy to witness Lucian’s proposal to Roxanne and wanted to have a chat with her son.
A sense of relief washed over Catalina when she thought of the rare happy smiles etched across Lucian and Roxanne’s faces when they left.
“Mr. Farwell just left, but I’m afraid I don’t know where he went,” she replied vaguely. Sonya was no fool, and she wouldn’t just let the matter go. As such, she narrowed her eyes and pressed on. “How about Roxanne?”
Catalina instantly felt uneasy. However, she had no choice but to speak the truth. “She went home.” Sonya’s expression darkened when she heard. that.
Roxanne is going home at this late hour. Do I even need to ask where my son went? He must’ve sent that woman home! She rejected his proposal, yet he’s still treating her so well!
Sonya’s rage boiled over when she thought of the possibility that Lucian had brought Estellar along. Why is the son that I raised so eager to please this woman? To make matters worse, it’s a woman that rejected him twice!
That fact alone was enough for Sonya to forbid Roxanne from stepping foot into the Farwell residence again. Deep down, Catalina heaved a sigh when she saw Sonya’s grim, infuriated expression.
Sometimes, she wanted to help Lucian convince Sonya, but she was merely a servant, and she was aware that Sonya looked down on her. Thus, nothing she said would be of any help.
Catalina was mindful not to add fuel to the fire as she carefully spoke. “Mrs. Farwell, it’s getting late. Please rest early!” Sonya shot her an icy glare. “Don’t think I don’t know you’re Roxanne’s accomplice!”
Catalina bowed her head and kept quiet. After a while, she heard Sonya’s heavy footsteps walking toward the entrance.
Catalina panicked and hurried over. “Mrs. Farwell, where are you going? Mr. Farwell instructed me to let you stay the night here since it’s late.”
Sonya stopped in her tracks and, without even looking over her shoulder, replied, “What? Are you worried that I’ll go pick on Roxanne? It’s so late. I don’t care if she’s not tired. I am!”
Catalina felt puzzled when she heard that. Then where is she storming away to? “How can I fall asleep watching my son jump. into a trap?” Sonya huffed angrily. With that, she marched out of the manor.
This time, Catalina did not get in her way. She only wished Sonya would come around as soon as possible and realize that Lucian and Estella’s happiness was of utmost importance.
Ever since Roxanne returned, Lucian, who was usually aloof and indifferent, started to express more of his emotions. Estella’s autistic condition was gradually improving as well. This family needs Ms. Jarvis….
