Roxanne finally arrived at the Farwell residence. She tried her best to suppress the disquiet in her heart before pressing on the doorbell.
This time around, it was still Catalina who answered the intercom.
A look of helplessness showed on Catalina's face when she saw who the visitor was.
“Catalina, is Essie back yet?” asked Roxanne as she eyed her cautiously from the screen.
Catalina sighed quietly to herself and shook her head when she recalled Lucian's instructions. “Not yet.”
Roxanne's gaze darkened when she heard her reply. She forced a smile and asked, “Then can I go in and wait for her?”
Catalina could not bear to turn her down. However, she still shook her head in the end and said, “It's better that you leave.”
Lucian had looked displeased when he returned home with Estella and instructed Catalina to deny Roxanne entry if she came.
Although Catalina felt sorry for Roxanne, she dared not disobey Lucian, particularly when Lucian was obviously still very angry.
Roxanne's eyes shimmered when her request had been denied. Somehow, she seemed to have understood something. She looked up at Estella's room which was on the second floor.
When she was there earlier on, Catalina had told her that Lucian had taken Estella out. She had even suggested to Roxanne to give Lucian a phone call.
Yet, right now, Catalina was asking her to leave.
Catalina knows that Lucian doesn't wish to see me. Lucian must have brought Estella back home!
At that thought, Roxanne was filled with apprehension. She looked at Catalina pleadingly.
“I won't go in, but can you at least tell me how Essie is?”
As long as she knew how Estella was doing, she could be at ease.
Catalina sighed and shook her head again.
