Chapter 747 Drunk

Inside the study, Lucian, eyebrows furrowed, was staring at his unfinished work for the day. Suddenly, he heard a

set of footsteps approaching the door.

Shortly after, a loud knocking sound was heard. He moved his line of sight away from the computer and frowned at

the door.

The housekeepers of the Farwell residence normally would have rested at that time. Even if that weren’t the case,

no one would disturb him willy-nilly while he worked in the study.

Not only that, the knocking was really loud, which could only mean Aubree was the one at the door. What is that

woman up to now? Lucian thought.

The knocking continued. He had just gone through much trouble to tuck Estella in, so he still stood and opened the

door to prevent her from being woken up by the relentless knocks.

When he opened the door, he saw an intoxicated Aubree at the entrance. Lucian had no idea how much she had

drunk, but he could tell the smell of wine was creeping into the study.

Upon seeing her, he stared at her with a frown and spoke in a deep voice. “You’re drunk. You should return to your

room and rest.” He then prepared to turn around and close the door.

To his surprise, the moment he turned around, Aubree hugged his waist. Lucian stopped in his tracks, stared at

Aubree’s arms around his waist, and ordered coldly, “Let go.”

She was still in a daze as she spoke. “I won’t… I love you, Lucian. Don’t cancel the engagement, okay? What’s so

good about Roxanne, anyway? She left you back then while I’ve waited for you for six years…”

That was the same thing Sonya said to him.

Even though Aubree meant what she said, Lucian was still unmoved by her words. In fact, a touch of disdain even

flashed past his eyes. For six years, this woman put up an act in front of me and bullied Essie behind my back, yet

she has the gall to mention it!

“Lucian…” She hugged him from behind, putting all her weight on him. Every single breath of hers sprayed the

stench of alcohol on his body.

Sensing her movements, his face fell, and he grabbed her wrists forcefully without hesitation. “Ugh…” She

grimaced and let go of him reflexively. Holding her injured wrist, she stumbled backward with a pained expression.

Expressionlessly, Lucian turned around and stared down at her before warning in a cold voice, “The only reason I

let you stay is because of my mother. If you behave yourself, I’ll allow you to stay until you can return to your

home. If you continue acting as you please, don’t blame me when I ask someone to chase you away!”

Aubree regained some of her senses because of the pain. Fear filled her eyes when she heard what he said, and

she apologized instinctively, “I’m sorry, Lucian. It’s my fault. I drank too much earlier. Don’t chase me out…”

Gazing at her coldly, he ordered, “Get back to your room!”

Aubree still didn’t want to give up as she stared at him pitifully. “My legs are so weak right now. Can you send me

back to my room?”

When she finished her sentence, the man before her didn’t immediately reply. Instead, he just raised his eyebrow

wordlessly.

For a moment, she was delighted because she thought he was going to say yes.

However, to her dismay, Lucian asked a housekeeper to send her back to her room.

She scowled in response because she didn’t want a housekeeper to see her wretched state. Nevertheless, she

didn’t dare to say anything after seeing his frosty expression. Thus, she allowed the housekeeper to bring her back

to her room.

He promptly returned to the study after that. His eyebrows furrowed when the stench of alcohol rushed into his

nose. To get rid of the smell, he opened the windows.
