Chapter 882 Told Her To Leave
Roxanne finally arrived at the Farwell residence. She tried her best to suppress the disquiet in her heart before pressing on the doorbell.
This time around, it was still Catalina who answered the intercom. A look of helplessness showed on Catalina’s face when she saw who the visitor was.
“Catalina, is Essie back yet?” asked Roxanne as she eyed her cautiously from the screen.
Catalina sighed quietly to herself and shook her head when she recalled Lucian’s instructions. “Not yet.”
Roxanne’s gaze darkened when she heard her reply. She forced a smile and asked, “Then can I go in and wait for her?”
Catalina could not bear to turn her down. However, she still shook her head in the end and said, “It’s better that you leave.”
Lucian had looked displeased when he returned home with Estella and instructed Catalina to deny Roxanne entry if she came.
Although Catalina felt sorry for Roxanne, she dared not disobey Lucian, particularly when Lucian was obviously still very angry.
Roxanne’s eyes shimmered when her request had been denied. Somehow, she seemed to have understood something. She looked up at Estella’s room which was on the second floor.
When she was there earlier on, Catalina had told her that Lucian had taken Estella out. She had even suggested to Roxanne to give Lucian a phone call.
Yet, right now, Catalina was asking her to leave.
Catalina knows that Lucian doesn’t wish to see me. Lucian must have brought Estella back home!
At that thought, Roxanne was filled with apprehension. She looked at Catalina pleadingly.
“I won’t go in, but can you at least tell me how Essie is?”
As long as she knew how Estella was doing, she could be at ease.
Catalina sighed and shook her head again.
When Mr. Farwell left, he did not appear upset. Unfortunately, he returned with a sullen expression. He has even instructed me not to disclose any information about Ms. Estella to her. I suppose he must be angry with her. It’s only a matter of a few hours. I wonder what they’re fighting about.
Roxanne was utterly crestfallen when Catalina rejected her once more.
She stared at the second floor for a long while but did not see any movement in Estella’s room. It was only then that she turned and left.
Catalina was heartbroken as she gazed at her desolate figure.
She waited until Roxanne’s car had disappeared before she let out a sigh and went up to the second floor.
The door of Estella’s bedroom was open. Lucian was sitting on her bed and watching her sleep. His eyes were pitch-black.
“Mr. Farwell,” Catalina called out to him.
Lucian turned around.
When their gazes met, Catalina instinctively looked down at Estella, who was in bed.
Lucian frowned before walking over to the door. “What is it?”
“Mrs.—Ms. Jarvis was here just now.”
Lucian looked at her without any expression.
Upon seeing his lack of emotion, Catalina understood what he meant. She looked down before saying, “I’ve already told her to leave.”
Lucian nodded and returned to Estella’s room.
As he sat down on his daughter’s bed again, he looked out of her window.
The window of Estella’s room faced the front of the manor, and he had an unobstructed view.
Looking at the main door with no one there, Lucian sneered.
