Roxanne had two bowls of soup but found it difficult to finish the second. Despite that, she eventually managed to drink it all.
When Sonya came down after tidying up the study, she was delighted to see that Roxanne had finished all the soup.
“Mrs. Farwell, your soup is really well-made and delicious.” Roxanne praised the soup once again, causing Sonya to feel a little shy.
Suddenly, Roxanne's lower abdomen started to ache again, so she decided to go upstairs and lie down.
“If you like it, I can make some more later. You can have it for lunch or dinner,” Sonya offered.
Hearing that Sonya wanted to make more, Roxanne didn't want to refuse Sonya's kind offer, so she quickly changed the subject.
“Mrs. Farwell, this soup is so good. Why don't you send some over to Lucian? He's been working hard lately and hasn't had a chance to get proper nutrition.”
Sonya thought it was a good idea and decided to make some more soup while Roxanne rested in her room.
Over an hour later, Roxanne was dozing off when Sonya suddenly knocked on her door. “Roxanne, Roxanne...” she whispered softly, not wanting to disturb her.
“Mrs. Farwell, what's the matter?” Roxanne asked.
“Well, my car suddenly broke down, and I don't know what's wrong with it. I've called the body shop to come and take a look. But the soup is ready, and I thought I could bring it over to Lucian while it's still hot. Lucian's cars in the garage are either too uncomfortable or too big for me to drive. So, I was wondering if I could borrow your car for a bit?”
Roxanne thought it was a small matter and that the car keys were already hanging in the hallway, so there was no need for Sonya to ask her for them.
However, she still politely replied, “Sure, no problem. The keys are hanging in the hallway. Mrs. Farwell, please drive safely.”
Sonya nodded and left the room.
