The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 283

Meanwhile, having been chased away by Lucian in the afternoon, Aubree arrived at the Farwell residence to look for Sonya.

Sonya thought that there was news of Estella when she saw her and asked anxiously, “Why are you back? Has Essie been found?”

Aubree shook her head dejectedly.

Sonya chided, “Why are you here if Essie hasn't been found? Why aren't you helping to search for her?”

Even though she had always favored Aubree, the woman had indeed gone overboard this time.

Aubree answered remorsefully, “Mrs. Farwell, I'd love to help, but—”

“But what?” Sonya asked furiously.

Aubree looked at Sonya with teary eyes, and with a pitiful expression, she replied, “But Lucian blamed me for not taking good care of Essie and asked me to leave. I didn't want to stay and be a burden to him because he was already anxious enough.”

In fact, Sonya had only heard about the incident from Aubree briefly over the phone, learning that Estella had run out because Aubree did not take good care of her. However, she did not know much about the details.

As such, she did not understand why her son would flare up at Aubree because of that. “What exactly happened? Why did Essie suddenly run away?”

Aubree looked down and sounded as if she was on the verge of bursting into tears as she replied, “When I reached the hotel, I found out that Lucian and Roxanne were staying in the same room as there were not enough rooms. I wanted to check if the hotel could make any alternate arrangements.”

What spell did that woman cast on Essie? Even if they are mother and daughter, Roxanne has not taken care of Essie ever since she was born. Why is Essie so attached to her?

Besides... When Sonya recalled Aubree's words from before, she furrowed her brows and asked, “Lucian and Roxanne were staying in the same room?”
