Roxanne was preparing lunch with the kids when the doorbell to their mansion rang.
Believing it might be Lucian wanting to see the children or Madilyn coming to ask her about the progress, Roxanne did not think much and put down her things to open the door.
Upon opening the door and seeing who was behind it, she suddenly froze.
“It's been a while,” Sonya began, looking Roxanne up and down.
Roxanne regained her senses, and lowering her eyes, she greeted, “Mrs. Farwell.”
Sonya hummed coldly in response. “Is this how you treat your guests? Having them stand at the door?”
Furrowing her brows, Roxanne gazed at Sonya cautiously as she remembered clearly what Sonya had done to the research institute.
We haven't met since then. I wonder why she came to see me today. Moreover, Essie is here. Last time, Sonya destroyed the research institute because I got too close to Essie. I'm afraid of what she will do if she sees Essie here. But perhaps Sonya already knew, and that's why she's here.
At that thought, Roxanne stepped aside to let Sonya in. “Please.”
Sonya strode in and looked around the living room. “Where's Essie?”
Roxanne's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, she came because she knew Essie was here.
Before she could reply, the three kids had already run out of the kitchen.
Thinking that Lucian was here, they all beamed happily, but the smiles on their faces froze at the same time when they saw the person sitting on the couch.
“Grandma...” Estella called out hesitantly.
