Chapter 157
Chapter 157 As soon as those words fell, everyone in the Qucen residence turned toward the
mansion’s entrance. Roxanne also did the same instinctively.Lucian was dressed in a tailored ck
suit. The suit was so well-lined that it was showcasing the man’s toned figure. With most of his hair
combed to the back, his perfectcial features were for everyone to see. At the same time, those few
stray strands of hair hanging down from his forehead prompted his gaze to appear even more icy-cold
than they were. All in all, he looked cold and distant.Everyone’s gazes fell on him at once.Aubree
appeared behind him wearing a ck dress. Her curly hair was hanging down on her chesi, and her
red lips were exceptionally eye-catching. Al that moment, her arm was seen wrapping around Sonya’s
affectionately as they followed Lucian from bchind. With their matching outfits and the affectionate
interaction between Aubree and Sonya, it was as if they were telling the world that Aubree was bound
to be the future daughter-inw of the Farwell family.Upon seeing that scene, Frieda nced at
Roxanne from the corners of her eyes. Sull, she was dissatisfied when she saw Roxanne’s
unperturbed facial expression. Right then, she deliberately held her mother’s hand and eximed,
“Wow! Lucian and Aubree look so great together!”Henrietta didn’t know what they were up to, but she
was aware of the close rtionship between the Pearson family and the Farwell family. Besides,
Aubree was always seen together with Lucian. She nodded in agreement and ultered, “It seems like
they might get married soon.”Roxanne’s expression changed slightly when she heard that. However,
she quicklyposed herself and lifted her head once again.Jonathan was standing next to Roxanne
when he remembered the conflict between her anded at her. He was surprised when he saw how calm
she looked.Lucian wasn’t happy with the attention he had gotten from the crowd. His gaze turned cold,
and he walked straight toward the center of the birthday banquet. He wanted to just greet Alfred before
coming up with an excuse to separate from Aubree. Henrietta and Zachary were closely acquainted
with the Farwell family. Hence, they went up to wee the guests with a smile. “Hi! Wee. This
is…”As they spoke, both of them nced at Sonya.Sonya merely smiled in response.Next to her,
Aubree seemed slightly shy when she greeted the elders politely. After that, she just listened as they
chatted.As they were chatting, they were walking toward Alfred.Roxanne panicked when she saw them
approaching. She averted her gaze and wanted to just bidAlfred goodbye before leaving.Just when she
wanted to do that, some guests came up to her and greeted her. Roxanne had no choice but to
exchange greetings with them. I’ve missed the perfect opportunity to get out of here.Secondster,
Lucian and the others had arrived in front of her.Roxanne kept her head hung low to make herself look
as inconspicuous as possible.First, she heard the man greet Alfred in a deep voice before hearing the
latter respond joyfully.Right after that, she felt the man’s gaze fixate on her.Roxanne clenched her fists
and raised her gaze to look at the man. When Alfred mentioned her to them, she politely nodded at
them.The whole time, Lucian couldn’t take his eyes off of her.When Henrietta and Zachary went up to
greet him earlier on, Lucian had already noticed Roxanne’s presence.When he saw her standing next
to Alfred, she looked elegant but slightly disinterested. With the long white dress on, she looked as
graceful as a swan. Although she didn’t put in much effort to dress up, she was still rather
captivating.On the other hand, she had been avoiding eye contact with him from the moment he
showed up.The more she avoided him, the more Lucian wanted to take a closer look at her facial
expression.Sonya noticed her son was distracted, so she followed his line of sight. Her expression
turned grim when her gazended on Roxanne.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
