Aubree heeded Frieda's advice. In the afternoon of the very same day, she headed to the Farwell residence.
She even bought Estella some cakes on her way there.
After arriving at the manor, Aubree pressed on the doorbell.
Catalina hesitated for a moment when she saw Aubree at the door. However, she opened the door for the woman when she recalled what Lucian said.
“Ms. Pearson,” greeted Catalina respectfully.
Lowering her head, Catalina took a step back. She was trying her best to stay away from Aubree's sight.
They weren't exactly seeing eye to eye when they met the last few times.
Though Catalina only did as she was told, she couldn't help it when Aubree still held prejudice against her.
Noticing that Catalina was trying to avoid her, Aubree pursed her lips in disapproval and sneered, “You're fast to open the door this time.”
Catalina kept quiet.
“Where's Lucian? He's not home?” Aubree did not wish to dwell on Catalina further. After all, she had already planned to fire the latter after marrying Lucian.
“Mr. Farwell headed to the office to work overtime early in the morning.”
Before leaving, Lucian had told Catalina that Aubree was allowed entry at the Farwell residence at any time.
That was the reason Catalina opened the door for Aubree.
Aubree nodded and cast a glance at the stairs leading upstairs. “How about Essie? I'm here to visit her.”
Catalina tensed up. Nonetheless, she chose to answer truthfully. “Ms. Estella is in her bedroom.”
With the cake in one hand, Aubree no longer paid heed to Catalina and headed upstairs.
Catalina followed closely behind her.
In the morning, before Lucian left, he had told her not to let Estella and Aubree be alone for the time being.
