Inside the study, Lucian, eyebrows furrowed, was staring at his unfinished work for the day. Suddenly, he heard a set of footsteps approaching the door.
Shortly after, a loud knocking sound was heard.
He moved his line of sight away from the computer and frowned at the door.
The housekeepers of the Farwell residence normally would have rested at that time. Even if that weren't the case, no one would disturb him willy-nilly while he worked in the study.
Not only that, the knocking was really loud, which could only mean Aubree was the one at the door.
What is that woman up to now? Lucian thought.
The knocking continued. He had just gone through much trouble to tuck Estella in, so he still stood and opened the door to prevent her from being woken up by the relentless knocks.
When he opened the door, he saw an intoxicated Aubree at the entrance.
Lucian had no idea how much she had drunk, but he could tell the smell of wine was creeping into the study.
Upon seeing her, he stared at her with a frown and spoke in a deep voice. “You're drunk. You should return to your room and rest.”
He then prepared to turn around and close the door.
To his surprise, the moment he turned around, Aubree hugged his waist.
Lucian stopped in his tracks, stared at Aubree's arms around his waist, and ordered coldly, “Let go.”
She was still in a daze as she spoke. “I won't... I love you, Lucian. Don't cancel the engagement, okay? What's so good about Roxanne, anyway? She left you back then while I've waited for you for six years...”
