Elektra was a touch puzzled. Mrs. Farwell has always been very particular about manners and etiquette. Isn't it impolite to put on a facial mask while receiving guests?
On second thought, she supposed that Sonya not acting prim and proper in front of her was the latter's way of getting close to her.
Recalling that Elias was still beside her, Elektra immediately laughed and stated, “Mr. Farwell, there are some tasty fruits in the stuff I brought here. Let me go wash them for you!”
Elias immediately waved a dismissive hand. He told Elektra there was no need and that he would do it instead.
As he turned around, he came to a sudden realization. So, this young lady is purposely using this excuse to make me leave. What does she want to tell Sonya? Hopefully, Sonya won't make the wrong judgment and make the same mistake as Aubree's case.
After watching Elias walk into the kitchen, Elektra turned to look at Sonya while wearing a smile on her face.
Elektra's motive was simple for this visit—to get Sonya to help create an opportunity for Lucian to spend time with her.
Because of that, she had found a perfect excuse.
“Mrs. Farwell, I learned of a piece of news today. Mr. Valentine, the principal of the middle school Lucian and I went to, has fallen severely ill. It's probably cancer or something. He's a nice man, but a pity he's poor and doesn't have much savings, so he's delaying his treatment right now. Could you help me explain the situation to Lucian? I was thinking of asking him to go and visit Mr. Valentine with me and donate some money to him for his treatment,” Elektra explained slowly.
She believed Sonya would be smart enough to read between the lines and understand what she was trying to say.
In other words, she wanted to spend time and do something together with Lucian. That way, it would pull them closer and build a stronger relationship.
For that reason, she was not too worried that Sonya would refuse.
“Is that so? You should help him out, of course. Then again, Elektra, I'm occupied with health examinations lately. Lucian is probably busy with work matters too. Regarding this matter, you can look for him and ask him directly. I believe he'll be able to make time for it.”
Sonya's answer left Elektra wholly floored.
It was a tactful refusal. Not only did Sonya not express her agreement with Elektra's idea, but the former also had no intention of helping her to convey those words.

GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
