Chapter 682


    That same night, Sonya was preparing to go to bed when Gina called her.


    Right after she picked up the call, she heard Gina sniffling from the other end of the line and Samuel’s


    shouts in the background.


    “Gina, what’s wrong? Did you argue with Samuel?” Sonya asked out of concern.


    Gina looked at the father–daughter duo, who was acting at the side. Then, she took a deep breath and


    choked out, “Samuel is angry at Aubree. I think you should hurry ande over. Aubree won’t listen to


    any of us right now, but maybe you can get through to her.”


    Sonya frowned and listened carefully. Indeed, she could hear Aubree’s sobs in the background.


    Because of the car ident before, Sonya was very considerate toward Aubree. Upon hearing the


    latter crying, she felt her heart clench. “Calm down and talk to me properly. What happened? What


    made them so worked up?”


    “It’s all because of…” Gina stopped her sentence midway as if she was reluctant to speak. She then


    sighed loudly and continued, “You should juste over.”


    Anxious, Sonya questioned, “Why are you keeping things from me? Aubree will be my daughter–


    inw sooner orter. You can tell me everything.”


    Gina paused for a few seconds before saying bitterly, “It’s because of her engagement with Lucian.


    Samuel thinks that Aubree should just cancel the engagement and let Lucian go since he doesn’t seem


    to like her, but Aubree won’t listen. She even imed that she’d marry no one else but Lucian. That’s


    how they started arguing.”


    Gina’s story sounded so convincing that it made Sonya feel apologetic.


    In the end, Lucian was at fault here. Not only did he make Aubree wait for so many years, but he also


    left her hanging and disregarded her feelings for him.


    After finding out that Aubree even had a disagreement with Samuel because of this matter, Sonya was


    more determined to give her fair treatment.


    “Aubree is right. I also object to canceling the engagement. She has waited for Lucian for so many


    years. Of course, he has to take responsibility for her. Gina, calm them down first. I’ll ask Lucian to go


    there If all else fails, Aubree can stay in our house for a couple of days so she and her father can cool


    off.”


    Right after Sonya said that, she heard the muffled sound of something falling to the ground on the other


    end.


    Her heart instantly sank, and she couldn’t help but worry for Aubree.


    It seemed like Gina was also surprised. It was only after a moment of silence that she answered, “I…


    I’ll try.”


    After hanging up the phone, Sonya called Lucian immediately.


    At the Farwell residence, Lucian had just tucked Este in and walked out of her room when his phone


    rang. Upon seeing the caller ID and recalling how Sonya had recently been so insistent about him


    marrying Aubree, he rubbed his temples. He only answered the phone after a few more rings.


    Right away, Sonya’s voice sounded in his ears. “Aubree had an argument with her father. I’m not sure


    what’s going on now, but you should go and check.”


    Lucian frowned at that. “That’s their business. It’s not appropriate for me to go there.”

    “Aubree went against her father because of you. Do you expect me to go there instead at this time of


    night? Besides, it sounded like he was being violent. I won’t be able to stop him if I go there. You


    should go there, at least for the sake of Aubree’s safety. She has just recovered, so she can’t afford to


    get hurt again!” Sonya


    chided.
