Naturally, Sonya, too, heard their exchange.
Nevertheless, she, having long decided to have her son marry Aubree, had warned Roxanne off and wasn't worried that the latter would disobey.
As a result, she couldn't care less about their interaction and continued to sip her coffee elegantly.
When Sonya heard Roxanne's leaving footsteps, a contemptuous smile descended upon her face.
Disgraceful women can always be easily frightened away. Furthermore, there's no way I'm going to allow such a woman to marry into the Farwell family.
“Have a seat.” Sonya finally turned around to give Lucian a look as she invited him to sit.
The frowning Lucian, whose eyes were burning with suppressed anger, strode up to his mother and sat down.
The cup of untouched coffee in front of him was ordered by Roxanne earlier.
Playing back in his mind the words she said to his mother a while ago, Lucian deepened his frown.
“Waiter, please get us another cup of what I'm having.” Sonya raised her hand at the waiter. “And take this cup away, please.”
After removing Roxanne's coffee, the waiter brought a new one for Lucian.
“Why are you here? Who asked you to come?” Drinking her coffee, Sonya gave her son a leisurely look.
Other than Roxanne informing him of her presence, she couldn't think of any other possibility.
After all, there was no way he would've known she was there unless someone had reported it to him.
