The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 856 Can You Forgive Me

When Lucian returned to the Farwell residence, Estella was no longer in the living room, and Catalina was nowhere to be found.

"Mr. Farwell." He reached for his phone, about to call Catalina when she came down the stairs with a grim expression. His eyebrows drew together as he asked, "Where's Essie?"

Catalina pointed at Estella's room on the second floor and said, "Ms. Estella has locked herself in her room again. I don't know how to get her out."

Estella had been crying non-stop since the call ended. No matter how much Catalina consoled her, she refused to calm down. After bawling for a while, Estella abruptly picked herself up and dashed to her room upstairs.
