Chapter 1186
Aubree's face held an urgent expression; she seemed determined to deliver Estella to Lucian personally. Lucian had been treating her coldly since Estella's bullying incident at kindergarten, and they hadn't spoken in several days. She saw an opportunity: using Estella as an excuse to await Lucian's return. To her dismay, he didn't return, instead sending Cayden to collect Estella. Aubree, naturally, seized the moment. However, Cayden coldly apologized, "I'm sorry, Ms. Pearson. I'm not authorized to disclose Mr. Farwell's schedule."
Aubree's face darkened. "What do you mean you can't reveal his schedule? Don't you forget I'm Lucian's fiancรฉe! Why are you hiding his schedule from me?" she demanded, glaring furiously.
Cayden remained unfazed. "I know you're Mr. Farwell's fiancรฉe, but I would say the same even if Mrs. Farwell were present."
Aubree gritted her teeth. "Don't push it, Cayden!" This man had thwarted her plans before, and now he was concealing Lucian's schedule.
Cayden simply lowered his head. "If you believe there's no need for secrecy, call Mr. Farwell. He still has time for calls; he can tell you if he thinks you should know." He turned to Estella. "Let's go, Ms. Estella."
Estella immediately jumped off the couch, ran to him, and took his hand. Cayden led her away. Aubree, watching them go, flushed with fury. "I'll come with you!"
After seating Estella in the car, Cayden firmly closed the door. "Mr. Farwell only instructed me to bring Ms. Estella. If you wish to join us, please call Mr. Farwell. I'll take you if he instructs me to."
Aubree's expression froze. Remembering Lucian's call that afternoon, a flicker of confidence arose. She called him, but the call was immediately declined. Her vicious expression was reflected on her phone's screen.
Cayden, incredibly polite, said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave with Ms. Estella. I'll pick you up if Mr. Farwell instructs me." He then drove toward the hospital.
Watching his car disappear, Aubree grabbed a handful of flowers at the mansion entrance, watching the petals fall as she crushed them in a fit of rage.
En route to the hospital, Estella looked at Cayden, puzzled. "Mr. Lawson, where are we going?"
Cayden's face pained at the question. After a moment, he replied awkwardly, "You'll find out when we arrive. Don't worry, Mr. Farwell is waiting."
Estella pouted, then asked, "Is Ms. Jarvis there, too?" She missed Roxanne terribly.
Cayden offered a bitter smile, unsure how to respond. Estella continued, "Can we see Ms. Jarvis first? Just for a little while, then we can go to Daddy."
