Lucian brought Estella back to the Farwell residence after Roxanne left.
When they arrived, Sonya and Elias were already waiting in the living room. Aubree was sitting beside them with a woeful expression.
Seeing them, Aubree immediately got to her feet to welcome them. "Lucian, is Essie all right?"
She then got down on her knees to check on Estella's condition.
Estella retreated and hid behind Lucian. She grabbed the edge of Lucian's shirt and refused to look at Aubree.
Aubree remained patient and reached out to take Estella's hand. "Essie, I'm really sorry for upsetting you. I was just-"
Slap! Estella slapped her hand away abruptly.
I hate this evil Ms. Pearson! She's the reason Ms. Jarvis stays away from me!
Aubree refused to give up yet. She came closer to Estella as Sonya and Elias were watching her actions.
I can't let Essie show them that we're not close to each other!
She stretched her hand out again. "Essie, don't be afraid. I just want to check on your injury."
Without waiting for a reply, she grabbed Estella's hand to pull her closer.
Flustered, Estella burst into noisy tears.
Everyone stared at them.
