By the time they arrived at the Farwell residence, Lucian still had not woken up.
Cayden took Lucian by the arm and helped him into the mansion.
As they went up the stairs, Cayden accidentally staggered a little, and Aubree reprimanded him immediately. “Watch it!”
Knowing that it was his fault, he did not say anything.
Meanwhile, Estella was wide awake and waiting inside her room as she hoped to talk to her father.
When she heard Aubree's voice, she seemed to sense something as though she was telepathic. She went to open the bedroom door and peeked out cautiously.
As soon as she did so, she saw Lucian being helped up the stairs by Cayden.
She ran over worriedly and tugged at Lucian's sleeve cautiously. “Daddy?”
Aubree was in buoyant spirits after what happened in the car.
Seeing how concerned the little girl looked, she smiled and said reassuringly, “Your daddy had too much to drink, but you don't have to worry. I'll take good care of him.”
However, Estella did not even bother to spare her a glance. Instead, she fixed her gaze on Cayden, waiting for him to explain.
The smile on Aubree's face froze as she followed Estella's gaze and looked toward Cayden.
He felt a sense of helplessness with both of them staring at him.
In the end, however, he was considerate of Estella's feelings and smiled as he repeated what Aubree had said. “Ms. Estella, Mr. Farwell just had too much to drink. He'll be as right as rain after a good night's rest. It's getting late, so you should quickly go to bed.”
Estella pressed her lips together and shook her head, stubbornly following close behind them.
