The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 1053 Heart Softened

Mere moments after Catalina hung up, Sonya arrived at the Farwell residence. "Mrs. Farwell." Both Lucian and Estella weren't around, so she didn't know how to deal with Sonya.

Sonya gave a curt nod and glanced around the living room. "Where is Essie?" Catalina was at a loss for words. She could tell Lucian that the boys had taken Estella away, but she was too afraid to tell Sonya the truth.

After all, she knew that Sonya disliked Roxanne. "Uh, Ms. Estella..." Catalina hesitated. Sonya grew impatient. "Where is she? Is she upstairs? I'll go take a look myself."

With that, she strode upstairs. Catalina dared not stay anything and could only watch as Sonya headed upstairs to Estella's room. A while later, Sonya stormed downstairs wearing an unhappy scowl.

"I thought Essie is supposed to be homeschooled. Why isn't she around on a weekend?" she demanded. Giving Catalina a dubious look, she asked, "Did Lucian take her out?"

She pulled out her phone to call Lucian. Knowing it was impossible to hide the truth, Catalina revealed honestly, "Archie and Benny came earlier. I think... Ms. Estella left with them." Playvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen
