Chapter 752 This Cannot Go On
In truth, Lucian was stifling a hint of a laugh as he noticed that Roxanne’s lipstick was drawn out of line. It seems like she was still in a daze when she was doing her makeup. She doesn’t have a clue that her lipstick is out of line.
He felt the urge to tease the woman when he saw the blank expression on her face. Lucian let his mischievous side get the better of him and reached out his hand.
Upon noticing that Lucian’s hand was mere inches away from her face, Roxanne flinched and hurriedly took a step back to keep some distance between them.
His hand was left hanging mid-air, and he titled a brow in displeasure. “Do you have anything else, Mr. Farwell?” Roxanne asked warily.
A ghost of a smile fleeted across his eyes as he noticed Roxanne getting all flustered. “Your lipstick is out of line,” he said impassively.
Roxanne’s face was tinged pink as she instinctively lowered her head to avoid meeting Lucian’s gaze. “Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Farwell. I’ll deal with it myself.”
Then, she inclined her head at him as a sign of goodbye before turning around to head inside the house with the kids.
As he watched the four of them go back inside the house, Lucian could not help but replay the way Roxanne blushed when he tried to touch her. Pleased with her response, he grinned.
It was almost time for his meeting after he dropped Estella off. Hence, Lucian turned around and headed for the office.
In the meantime, opposite the mansion, Aubree was sitting in a taxi parked by the roadside with a dark look on her face.
She had just witnessed Lucian’s interaction with that wretched woman.
He’s always cold and indifferent toward me, but he’s like a whole different person when he’s in front of that b*tch!
When she saw that Lucian’s hand was about to touch Roxanne’s lips, Aubree almost could not restrain her urge to storm over and push her away from Lucian.
“Miss, do you still want to follow the car?”
As Lucian’s car started to drive away, the driver did not know whether he should continue tailing him.
Aubree snapped out of her daze and glared at Roxanne’s door. “No. Just send me back,” she said in a cold voice.
Then, the driver headed back to the Farwell residence via the same route.
When Aubree arrived home, Catalina was surprised to see her return so soon.
Aubree then recalled the way Catalina tried to defend Estella the night before. Frustrated, she shot a daggered look at Catalina.
Catalina could sense Aubree’s hostility. Though bewildered, she said nothing and retreated to the side as she watched Aubree head upstairs.
As Aubree ascended the stairs, her mind was filled with the infuriating images of Lucian being gentle toward Roxanne.
And that little b*tch! She acts so meekly in front of me, and yet she throws herself at that d*mned woman the first chance she gets! If not for her, Lucian would not have gone to see that wretched woman so early in the morning! It’s all that little b*tch’s fault.
Aubree’s face contorted with a deranged look.
She thought that a little threat would make Estella behave and listen to her. However, she did not expect Estella to grow so brazen with Roxanne backing her up, even to the extent of ignoring her completely.
I can’t let this go on… I have to teach that little b*tch a lesson so that she knows whose side she should take!
With that thought in mind, Aubree turned her attention to Estella’s room with a grim look in her eyes.
