Catalina instinctively thought that the two of them were fighting again, so she started trying to patch them back.
“Mrs. Farwell, Mr. Farwell really cares for you. He must have lost control of himself out of worry if he accidentally said something wrong or had been acting terribly. Please don't be mad at him...”
Roxanne realized that Catalina had misunderstood their situation, but she did not have the time to explain. She only said, “I got it. I'll call him now, so don't worry.”
With that, she hastily ended the call and called Lucian instead. Right as she was about to tap the call button, she abruptly thought about something.
Glancing at the three children, she said, “I'm going to head out for a while, so be good at home, okay? Rest earlier.”
The children had overheard her conversation with Catalina, and Benny asked, “Mommy, are you going to meet Mr. Farwell?”
Roxanne did not plan to hide it from them. She nodded and said, “Take care of Essie. Don't open the door for anyone and don't sneak out either!”
The children nodded obediently. “Don't worry, Mommy, and go and meet Mr. Farwell. We'll be good!”
It was only after they promised did Roxanne feel at ease enough to leave the house.
She hoped to get clear answers from Lucian after meeting him in person.
At the Farwell residence, Catalina was worriedly looking upstairs, wondering how Roxanne and Lucian's conversation had gone.
She wondered if the two of them were fighting again, for Lucian had not yet come downstairs.
Right then, someone rang the doorbell.
Turning over, Catalina saw that it was Roxanne. The latter looked anxious by the gate.
Catalina quickly opened the gate and the door before waiting for Roxanne by the doorway.
“Mrs. Farwell, it's late. Why did you come here in person?” Catalina asked in concern.
