With that, Lucian strode out of the Farwell main residence with Estella in his arms.
Sonya was fuming as she watched her son take Estella away just like that, but there was nothing she could do about it.
For the next several days, Estella didn't go to kindergarten and just stayed home to play under Lucian's orders.
She had become a lot more stable after returning to a familiar environment.
Although she was still angry with Lucian, she was at least willing to speak to Catalina.
Lucian was aware of her temperament. After finding out that she wasn't completely refusing to speak, he no longer tried to force her.
When the weekend came around, Archie and Benny wanted to see Estella.
As they didn't know if Estella had gone home or not, they were extremely worried.
It just so happened that Roxanne was working overtime, and Lysa had taken leave to return to her hometown, leaving the two kids alone in the mansion.
Hence, it was a lot easier for them to sneak out this time.
After exiting the mansion, they called for a cab and went straight to the Farwell residence.
Archie and Benny were on tenterhooks throughout the entire journey.
The injuries they had sustained had not healed yet, and they didn't know if the juveniles were still there.
When they thought about how they were going to be able to see Estella again, all of their fears disappeared.
The car slowly rolled up at the Farwell residence's entrance.
They paid the driver and ran up to the front door.
With Catalina's previous words ringing in their ears, they weren't sure if they were going to be turned away at the door.
Deciding not to waste any time, Archie led Benny to the gap they had snuck through the previous time.
To their surprise, the gap had now been sealed, and they were no longer able to squeeze through it.
“What do we do now?” Benny asked anxiously.
Archie furrowed his brows. “We have no choice but to ring the doorbell. Even if Ms. Catalina doesn't let us in, it'll be fine as long as she tells us how Essie is.”
