Because of Sonya's order, Lucian spent his time in Aubree's ward after he got off work for the next few days.
As for Sonya herself, she visited Aubree on time every day. Although, it would be more appropriate to say she was there to check if Lucian was taking care of Aubree.
“How is he taking care of you?” Sonya asked with a caring smile since Lucian was still at work.
Aubree lowered her eyes shyly. “Quite well.”
Seeing her like that made Sonya relax. Sonya comforted, “I told you that Lucian isn't a cold-hearted person. Both of you share a relationship that has lasted for years, after all. He'll always see you.”
Aubree pursed her lips and smiled, though she felt a pang of irony in her heart.
Lucian's attitude toward her did change for the better, but it was only because she said she hoped they could both still be friends.
And so, he treated her as nothing more than a normal friend.
However, she wasn't satisfied with that.
What she really wanted was to be his wife.
On the other side, Roxanne's job at the research institute had been going smoothly.
As the collaboration had been underway for quite a while, the research institute staff were eventually able to keep up with her pace. Additionally, with Colby's help, work was no longer as busy as it initially was.
There was no way she could get back with Lucian. If his future wife isn't Aubree, maybe I wouldn't have needed to distance myself from Essie. However, that person just has to be Aubree, and I can tell how much she detests me. I've always said that children are innocent, yet their relationship has been affected by the matters of us adults. I can't help but feel guilty about this. Hmm, now that I think about it, I hadn't brought them to play outside ever since I came back here, aside from the times when they asked me to do it.
