Chapter 683 What Happened
Lucian was about to reject Sonya, but she cut the call before he could do so. For a moment, he stood there in silence with a scowl. Then, he kept his phone and headed downstairs.
Although he was unwilling to obey his mother, he had no choice but to do so after hearing what she told him. “Mr. Farwell?” Catalina called out tentatively when she saw Lucian heading out at such a late hour.
Lucian gave her a nod. “I need to go somewhere for a while. Make sure to check on Essie from time to time.”
Catalina nodded and watched him leave the mansion. Half an hour later, Lucian appeared before the Pearson residence and pressed on the doorbell.
He presumed he would have to wait for a while since the people inside were quarreling. To his surprise, the door was opened almost immediately.
“Lucian, what brings you here?” Gina looked surprised and a bit uneasy to see Lucian. “It’s late already, so I won’t ask you to come in—”
At that moment, the sound of glass shattering came from the house, followed by Samuel’s roar. “Since you’re so stubborn, then get out of here! Don’t stay in the Pearson residence. I don’t know you!”
A troubled look flashed across Gina’s face. She acted like she was about to close the door and said, “I suppose you heard that. Samuel is arguing with Aubree. You should hurry and leave.”
That was precisely the reason Lucian came. Naturally, he couldn’t leave after hearing how severe the situation was. “I know. My mom asked me to come and check on you all,” he admitted. “Please let me in.”
With that, he took a few steps forward, intending to enter the house. Gina hesitated for a moment. Finally, she stepped aside and let him in. As she watched Lucian climb the stairs, a sly look fleeted across her eyes. Leisurely, she followed him upstairs.
The two of them came to a stop before the study. The door was wide open, and it was a mess inside. Books, pens, and pieces of a shattered vase littered the floor.
Aubree stood in the corner, her stubborn face wet with tears.
Meanwhile, Samuel stood behind the study table and glared at her. “How many times have I told you? Had you listened to me, you wouldn’t have ended up like this! Lucian—”
“Samuel!” Gina hurriedly stepped out from behind Lucian. “Stop talking. Lucian is here!”
Samuel’s angry expression remained unchanged as he turned to the door. Upon meeting Lucian’s gaze, he furrowed his brows and stayed quiet.
Aubree also looked up. She was surprised to see Lucian actually standing there, but she quickly got ahold of herself and turned her face to the side, wiping her tears miserably.
“Lucian, why did you come here at this time?” Samuel cleared his throat and questioned gloomily.
Glancing at Aubree, Lucian scrunched his brows. “Mr. Pearson, my mom told me that you and Aubree are arguing, so I came over. What happened?”
Samuel glowered at Aubree and rubbed his temples, explaining, “It’s nothing serious. It’s just about your engagement. I noticed that there was no progress between you two after so many years, so I advised her to give up. Yet, she won’t listen.”
Aubree and Gina looked quite embarrassed about how easily Samuel brought up the topic.
Lucian was also slightly surprised.
Before, the Pearson family did almost everything they could to proceed with this marriage. What are they up to now?
