That same night, Sonya was preparing to go to bed when Gina called her.
Right after she picked up the call, she heard Gina sniffling from the other end of the line and Samuel's shouts in the background.
“Gina, what's wrong? Did you argue with Samuel?” Sonya asked out of concern.
Gina looked at the father-daughter duo, who was acting at the side. Then, she took a deep breath and choked out, “Samuel is angry at Aubree. I think you should hurry and come over. Aubree won't listen to any of us right now, but maybe you can get through to her.”
Sonya frowned and listened carefully. Indeed, she could hear Aubree's sobs in the background.
Because of the car accident before, Sonya was very considerate toward Aubree. Upon hearing the latter crying, she felt her heart clench. “Calm down and talk to me properly. What happened? What made them so worked up?”
“It's all because of...” Gina stopped her sentence midway as if she was reluctant to speak. She then sighed loudly and continued, “You should just come over.”
Anxious, Sonya questioned, “Why are you keeping things from me? Aubree will become my daughter-in-law sooner or later. You can tell me everything.”
Gina paused for a few seconds before saying bitterly, “It's because of her engagement with Lucian. Samuel thinks that Aubree should just cancel the engagement and let Lucian go since he doesn't seem to like her, but Aubree won't listen. She even claimed that she'd marry no one else but Lucian. That's how they started arguing.”
Gina's story sounded so convincing that it made Sonya feel apologetic.
In the end, Lucian was at fault here. Not only did he make Aubree wait for so many years, but he also left her hanging and disregarded her feelings for him.
