Estella had always kept to a fixed daily routine.
While at Roxanne's house, she had started getting drowsy at around nine o'clock in the evening and only became a little more awake while on the way home.
Now, she had been sitting on the couch for a long time. Although she dearly wanted to wait for Lucian to return, she could not fight off the sleepiness that washed over her, and her eyes slowly closed.
Catalina knew Estella's routine like the back of her hand. Upon seeing Estella's head droop lower and lower, she quickly hurried over to the girl's side, preparing to catch her at any time.
Just as Catalina anticipated, Estella fell fast asleep within a few minutes, and her body tilted to one side.
Fortunately, Catalina was well-prepared. She caught Estella in her arms, then carefully carried the latter upstairs.
When she finally left Estella's room and checked the time, she saw it was already late at night.
Ms. Estella was so stubborn just now. It seems as though she really does have something important to discuss with Mr. Farwell.
Catalina took out her phone and was about to call Lucian when she suddenly heard a noise from downstairs.
Craning her neck to take a look, she saw Lucian walk into the house with long strides. He was radiating a cold aura. By the looks of it, he must've been swamped with work tonight to the point that he still has a frown even after getting home.
“Mr. Farwell,” she called out hesitantly, hurrying down the stairs to greet him. As she took his coat, she said, “Ms. Estella waited for you all night and only just fell asleep.”
Lucian's frown deepened when he heard that.
