Chapter 1095
Catalina couldn’t bear to see Estella suffer. “Ms. Pearson, Ms. Estella has just woken up and might still feel sleepy. Why don’t you let her sleep a little while longer?”
Estella hurriedly nodded along and even feigned a yawn.
The innocent looks on her face made her acting look convincing.
A furious look fleeted across Aubree’s face, but she managed to regain her composure
“It seems my timing is not right then. Go on and rest, Essie.”
Feeling utterly relieved, Estella didn’t even say anything before hastily closing the door.
The smile on Aubree’s face faded as the door shut in her face
She wanted to scowl at Catalina and tell her to mind her own business.
However, she thought that Catalina must have followed her on Lucian’s order. Surely, the woman had been tasked with observing how she was getting along with Estella.
Aubree reckoned that since she was putting up an act, she might as well put in more work to make it believable.
With that in mind, Aubree recomposed herself. She got up and cast a glance at Catalina.
“I’ll come over more often these two days to accompany Essie. I only brought cakes because I thought she liked them. Anyway, it seems like I’m mistaken. You’ve been taking care of Essie for many years. Do you know what she likes?”
Then she flashed Catalina a rare smile.
Catalina lowered her head as the disdain for Aubree festered in her heart.
She had been taking care of Estella for many years, and all these years, Aubree had always taken the liberty to come uninvited.
Yet, the wretched woman had the cheek to ask her what Estella liked.
