Lucian's gaze darkened slightly when Elias mentioned Roxanne. However, he concealed it and recomposed himself before his parents noticed it.
“I'll ask Essie first. But if she wants to be with her mother, I won't stop her.”
Lucian only mentioned his arrangement for Estella and said nothing about Roxanne.
Sonya felt even more incredulous when she heard that Lucian had even thought about whether he was going to keep Estella or let her go.
“What's with you today, Lucian? Are you feeling sick? Do you have a fever?” Sonya asked. Although I've never liked Roxanne, I know Lucian is obsessed with her. In fact, no one knows that better than me! I was prepared for a long battle. Why is he giving up so easily? Could this be a trick or something?
Lucian looked at her with a plain expression and asked in a deep voice, “Haven't you been wishing to see me marry another woman? Why are you reacting this way now that I'm giving in?”
Sonya was rendered speechless. Nonetheless, she still felt something was amiss, so she shot Elias a glance.
Elias looked at Lucian concernedly and asked, “Did something happen? Did you have a fight with Roxanne?”
That was what Elias had in mind because he couldn't think of another reason for his son's behavior.
Lucian didn't comment on that. Instead, he urged Sonya, “I don't have her contact, so please help me contact her and ask her to come over. Or maybe I can go over to look for her.”
Sonya's eyes were filled with confusion.
“I'm only saying this tonight. After tonight, I might change my mind.” Lucian turned to meet Sonya's gaze.
Sonya was still hesitating. It's true. I've always wanted him to marry someone else. However... something is definitely wrong with Lucian tonight.
