Chapter 1052 Below Minimum Temperature
Archie took the chance to sprint out of the mansion with Estella in tow. They then hid in a corner and waited for
Benny to leave. Inside the mansion, Catalina had just poured a cup of water for Benny and assumed he was about
to go upstairs.
To her surprise, Benny gave her a polite bow. “Thank you, Ms. Catalina. I shall take my leave now.” Catalina frowned
in puzzlement. “What about Archie?” They both came together, so she couldn’t understand why they would leave
separately.
Benny pursed his lips guiltily. “Archie left a while ago. He and I snuck in here without telling Mommy, and we were
busted. She’s probably giving him an earful right now.”
Catalina nodded understandingly. She found their antics amusing. I can’t believe they came this far just to visit a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfriend. Ms. Jarvis must be beside herself with worry.
She suddenly recalled what happened previously and offered, “I’ll ask someone to give you a ride home.” Benny
waved his hands anxiously. “N-No need for that. My mommy is waiting for me outside,” he stammered out a lie.
Catalina didn’t ponder over his words and nodded. “Be careful.” Benny bobbed his head obediently and trotted out
of the mansion. Once he was outside, he quickly ran toward Archie and Estella.

Archie waved at them. “Let’s go!” The other two agreed and trailed dutifully behind him.
After they exited the manor, Archie and Benny were especially vigilant. They had Estella with them, so it would be
bad for them to encounter the older children they previously met.
Fortunately, they didn’t come across those kids throughout their journey and successfully arrived at the junction.
After finishing her tasks, Catalina belatedly remembered that she had forgotten to invite the boys to stay for lunch.
She assumed they had arrived home by now.
Without thinking much, she went upstairs to get Estella. However, there was no response even after she knocked
on the door for some time.
“Ms. Estella? Can I come in now?” Catalina asked worriedly. She carefully pushed the door open to realize that the
room was empty. There was no one in sight.
Catalina’s heart sank to the bottom of her stomach. “Ms. Estella?” she raised her voice.
She searched the room frantically but to no avail. Just as she was about to call the bodyguards to search the
surroundings downstairs, an idea dawned on her.
Benny’s actions seemed weird. Did Ms. Estella leave with them both? The thought of that possibility startled
Catalina.
I let Mr. Farwell down by failing to look after Ms. Estella when he entrusted her to me this morning before leaving
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor work. She managed to slip away while I was on duty.
Feeling both guilty and remorseful, Catalina instantly contacted Lucian. Meanwhile, Lucian was listening to Cayden
reporting the work progress in his office.
When he received Catalina’s call, he assumed Estella was throwing a tantrum again.
“Mr. Farwell, Ms. Estella left with Archie and Benny,” Catalina told him apologetically.
A scowl appeared on Lucian’s face when he learned about that.
Cayden became aware that the temperature in the office had dropped below the minimum.
He regarded his employer’s expression warily. I wonder what happened to Ms. Estella.
A while later, he sensed the temperature rising back to normal.
Lucian said, “Got it. I’ll pick her up there later.” His voice was deep as usual.
With that, he ended the call.
Cayden was confused as he had no idea what just happened.
Why did Mr. Farwell’s mood fluctuate?
