Chapter 687
Aubree watched as the elevator slowly descended to the ground floor. The moment it came to a stop, Aubree dusted herself off and went back to her room.
She was not aware of how long she had been sitting in a daze when her phone suddenly rang, breaking her out of reverie.
Aubree immediately returned to her senses as she glanced at the caller ID. It was her mother calling, and it did not take long for her to figure out what the call was for.
The phone continued to ring, but Aubree had no intention of picking up. All she could do was watch helplessly as the screen kept flashing before everything went quiet.
Shortly after, the phone rang again.
This continued for a while before Aubree finally picked up out of annoyance.
“Aubree, why didn’t you answer the phone? What’s happened? Are you not at his place yet?” As soon as Aubree picked up, Gina’s concerned voice filled her ear.
Mockery flashed on Aubree’s face after she heard this. Even now, her mother still thought that she was going to the Farwell residence.
When Aubree remained silent, Gina asked, “Aubree? Are you there? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“I’m at a hotel,” said Aubree, her face devoid of expression.
As soon as she said this, nothing but a heavy silence hung about the air.
Aubree continued, “Lucian isn’t here anymore. He booked me a presidential suite, asked me to get some rest, and then left on his own.”
Gina was shocked that Lucian did not bring her daughter back to the Farwell residence. She then noticed how crestfallen Aubree sounded and tried to comfort her. “Don’t worry. The fact that he was willing to take you away is enough. After all, he booked the room, didn’t he? I think he’ll visit you often.”
