Catalina didn't close the door when she went down. Aubree saw Lucian standing in his study upon making her way up.
“Lucian, I'm here.”
Aubree entered after knocking on the door.
Inside the study, Lucian had already heard her footsteps, but he only turned around upon hearing her voice.
By then, Aubree had already put on a gentle smile on her face.
Even though he had decided to accept her, Lucian still couldn't help but feel that something wasn't right every time he saw her. He remained silent for a long while.
Aubree didn't dare enter the study on her own accord. All she could do was repeat herself, “Is there something you want to see me for?”
Jolted back to his senses, Lucian suppressed his inner thoughts as he replied in a deep voice, “Come in and have a seat.”
Pursing her lips into a smile, Aubree walked in and settled down on the couch in the center of the room.
Lucian sat down in an armchair with a conflicted look in his eyes. He could still feel the hesitance in his heart.
In that instant, silence descended upon the study.
The anticipation Aubree had before she came gradually turned into anxiety.
She clearly remembered Sonya telling her over the phone that Lucian was over Roxanne and had decided to continue with the engagement.
Yet now, he didn't even look remotely like he had plans to get together with her.
Both of them were lost in their own thoughts when a knock on the door was suddenly heard.
