The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 988

Chapter 988 Just Wait Patiently

The two ladies went downstairs, one after another. Catalina placed Aubree’s thermal container on the table. She was about to say something when she heard the latter’s cold voice ring out behind her. “Since Lucian can’t eat that, you can finish it for him.”

Catalina was momentarily stunned. Then she figured out what was going on. She’s venting her anger on me because of what I said earlier.

Realizing that, she suppressed the helplessness in her heart and answered politely, “Thank you. You’re too kind, Ms. Pearson.” Aubree shot her an icy glare. The more she looked at Catalina, the more furious she was.

As soon as I received Mrs. Farwell’s call this morning, I had my housekeeper prepare the broth. I waited until the broth was done and brought it here, thinking of buttering Lucian up and getting in his good graces. However, I never expected my efforts to be ruined by this woman! And if I remember correctly, when Roxanne was still in this house, the two seemed to get along well.

At the thought of that, Aubree looked even more upset. “Do you also wish for Roxanne to come back?”

The question came out of the blue and stunned Catalina for a few seconds. Finally, she replied, “That’s Mr. Farwell’s personal matter. As a subordinate, it’s not my place to comment on it.”

Aubree snorted coldly. “It’s good that you know that. In the future, you’d better stay far away when I’m talking to Lucian.”

Catalina gave a bitter smile as she nodded, missing the time when Roxanne had been around even more.

Since Lucian was ignoring Aubree, Catalina thought the latter would leave.

The last thing she expected was for Aubree to stay the entire afternoon.

Neither of the two women uttered a word to the other.

It was not until school was over for Estella that Catalina felt a sense of relief.

“Ms. Pearson, I’m going to pick up Ms. Estella from school. Would you—”

She was about to ask Aubree if the latter would like to join her.
