After reassuring Estella, Roxanne walked up to Lucian with Archie and Benny. “Mr. Farwell, why was this man following Mommy?”
Archie, the most vigilant of them, had been scrutinizing Cory while Roxanne was chatting. with Estella. Hearing that, Roxanne turned to look at Cory with a frown.
She had a hunch that the reason Lucian requested their presence was tied to that man. The only thing she couldn’t figure out was why he wanted Archie and Benny to be there.
She looked at Lucian with concern. “Shall we let the children go upstairs to play?” Lucian shook his head solemnly. “This matter involves them too.”
The three children deserve Aubree’s apology the most. Hearing that, Roxanne and the children were taken aback. They’re just children. What could’ve happened for Lucian to put on such a grave look on his face?
Right then, something struck her. She turned to Lucian and asked hesitantly. “Is it-”
“Have a seat and wait.” Lucian gestured for them to sit. Roxanne had no choice but to save her questions for later. The children sat beside Lucian but not before saving the seat next to him for Roxanne.
Despite that, Roxanne still chose a seat where the children were between Lucian and her. Not knowing what was going to happen, she tried to avoid looking too high profile.
Once seated, Roxanne began to contemplate on the matter. The only thing I can think of that relates to the three of them is Essie getting an infection during the camping trip. Is the result of the investigations out?
Roxanne then recalled Lucian’s introduction of Cory. Since he has been following me, does that mean he saw what happened that day? With that possibility in mind, Roxanne gave Cory an anxious look.
Is the culprit who I think it is? Aubree? Just as she pulled the children into her. embrace and wanted to ask Lucian about it, a commotion was heard at the door.
Everyone turned to see what was going on and was greeted by the sight of Catalina ushering Sonya in. From the sullen look on Sonya’s face, it was clear that she had flown into a rage not too long ago.
And the sight of Roxanne and her boys only caused Sonya’s scowl to deepen. “Essie, come to Grandma.”
She looked in Estella’s direction. Her eyes were filled with guilt. Estella pursed her lips and tightened her grip on Roxanne’s sleeves, refusing to go over.
Sonya’s face contorted when she saw Estella’s reaction. She looked as though she was about to lose her temper. However, at the thought of something, Sonya calmed herself down again.
She gave Roxanne a look of displeasure and didn’t force Estella in the end. Instead, she turned her attention to her son. “I just came back from the Pearson residence. They should be here any minute.”
Roxanne’s expression changed when she heard that. Just as expected, the Pearsons must be the ones behind it! At the same moment, Lucian gave his mother an inquisitive look.
Sonya’s brows furrowed. “They were pleading for mercy from me, but I ignored them and told them to speak to you instead.” With that, she took her seat in the armchair beside Lucian.
For harming her granddaughter and lying to her, Sonya wanted to witness with her own eyes how the Pearsons would explain themselves in front of her son. Moreover, she wanted to make sure Aubree apologized to Estella.
