Chapter 967


    ventually agreed to allow her to go upstairs.


    Aubree responded with a nod. After stering a smile on her face, she took the stairs and went up. Sonya had just woken up


    from her nap in the master bedroom upstairs. Upon hearing a knock on the door, she opened it right away.


    “Mrs. Farwell.” Aubree grinned politely. “I hope I’m not disturbing you.” Sonya, too, responded with a smile when she realized it


    was Aubree. “Not at all. | just woke up.”


    Aubree walked up to her and held her arm affectionately. “I brought you lots of gifts. Let''s go down and check them out.”


    “Aww, you''re too sweet.” Sonya nced at her. “You didn’t have to do that. I’m happy that you''re here.” Aubree pressed her lips


    and smiled. “I have to since | haven''t visited you in a while.”


    They continued to exchange pleasantries as they made their way down to the living hall. Sonya nced at the gifts and looked


    away as she had no intention of opening them.


    The butler collected the gifts and put them aside. After they sat on the couch, the butler served them coffee.


    While Aubrey was taking a sip from the cup, her eyes flickered when an idea shed across her mind. “I was nning to take


    you to the suburbs as thendscape is gorgeous. Many of my friends have been there for a walk.”


    Her suggestion aroused Sonya’s interest. But before Sonya could respond, Aubree continued, “But | heard bacteria in the wild is


    growing fast as the weather has turned warm. People who have visited the ce have fallen ill and suffered from vomiting and


    diarrhea.”


    Upon hearing that, Sonya decided to put the trip on hold. “Let''s not risk it. We can always visit the suburbs some other time.”


    Aubree nodded in agreement.


    A few secondster, she started frowning as if something was bothering her.


    Sonya could tell something was on her mind. She asked, “What are you thinking about?”


    “Oh...” Aubree acted as if she hade to her senses. “If I’m not mistaken, Ms. Jarvis took Essie on an outing a few days ago,


    so I''m not sure...”


    Aubree left her sentence hanging and studied Sonya’s expression carefully.


    Sonya’s face turned grim when she heard her granddaughter hanging out with Roxanne again.


    Aubree gloated inwardly upon noticing the look on Sonya’s face.


    “How did you know they went out together?” Sonya asked.


    Aubree had an answer for that. “I''ve been worried about Essie since thest time she went missing, so | have my men to watch


    over her whenever she leaves the house.”


    Upon realizing what Aubree had done for her granddaughter, Sonya put her guard down against her and began to develop a


    hostile attitude toward Roxanne. I’ve warned her many times to stay away from Essie. How dare she defy me?


    Aubree continued adding fuel to the fire. “Perhaps Ms. Jarvis was merely thinking of taking Essie for a stroll and didn’t pay much


    attention to the environment. Now, I’m worried...”


    Once again, she paused right there and did not continue.


    Sonya knitted her brows and asked, “Worried? What are you worried about?”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “Essie seemed to have caught an infection. | wonder how she is feeling now.” Aubree expressed her concern.
