Chapter 881 Denied Entry
Meanwhile, on the way back home, the images of Lucian and Estella kept appearing in Roxanne’s mind.
After feeling troubled for a long while, Roxanne clenched her fist to calm herself down.
Before things at Herbscape Group are finalized, there’s no evidence pointing to Lucian as the person responsible. There’s certainly nothing to prove that Lucian did that for me, so there’s no need for me to feel guilty.
After trying very hard to convince herself, Roxanne finally let the matter go.
All that was left was Estella.
She wondered how the little one was doing and if she was still crying.
More so, she also wondered if Lucian had brought Estella to look for her.
Roxanne checked her phone every now and then to see if she had any missed calls or unread messages.
After a few rounds of checking, there was still nothing showing on the screen.
“Sir, please drive a little faster.” Roxanne could not help but rush the driver, feeling disappointed.
The driver acknowledged and sped up.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Roxanne’s home.
She quickly got out of the car and strode into the mansion.
At the same time, both Archie and Benny rushed to the door when they heard sounds from outside. They thought that Lucian had brought Estella there.
Since the time Roxanne left, both the boys had been waiting patiently on the couch so that they would not miss it when Lucian knocked on the door.
When the door opened and they saw who it was, the boys’ anticipation turned to worry.
“Mommy, are you done with your work?”
They noticed that Roxanne’s face was grimmer than before she left.
She swept her glance across the living room and saw no one except her sons.
Roxanne was crestfallen and felt a little lost. “Didn’t Essie come?”
Archie and Benny exchanged glances. They could not bear to tell their mother the truth.
Roxanne had always been more worried about Estella than the boys.
“Maybe Mr. Farwell is occupied at the moment, and they will come later!”
Archie was quick to come up with something to console his mother.
Roxanne mustered a smile at the boys, but she was still devastated and worried about Estella.
Archie and Benny eyed their mother with concern. They had been standing at the doorway for quite a while now, but Roxanne did not look as if she wanted to come in.
The boys had no idea if she had forgotten or if there were some other reasons.
“Mommy, let’s go in first,” said Benny in a piping voice.
It was only then Roxanne returned to her senses. With a hint of hesitation in her eyes, she declined in the end. “I’ll go to Mr. Farwell’s house and take a look. Stay at home and wait for me.”
When Archie and Benny heard that, they exchanged looks before saying in unison, “We want to go with you!”
The boys were equally anxious about Estella’s situation. Given Roxanne’s current condition, they did not think she could drive on her own.
Roxanne knew that her sons were worried about her, so she comforted them with a smile, “Both of you stay here. You can tell me if Essie comes.”
Archie and Benny hesitated for a while and nodded when they heard that.
Roxanne stroked their heads and got into her car once she saw the boys shut the door. She then made her way to the Farwell residence.
Along the way there, Roxanne felt very uneasy.
She had no idea if Estella was at home and if she would be denied entry.
