So cold.

Lorenzo had just stepped out of the study when he saw Esme waiting for him, and his expression was grim as he remembered her previous behaviour.

"Brother," Esme called out to him, frightened. She tried to explain what had happened last time, but Lorenzo ignored her.

"Brother, don't you want to know where Fabiola has gone?" Hearing Fabiola's name, Lorenzo stopped in his tracks.

"Fabiola asked me to tell you that she has gone home first on a temporary matter." Esme knew Lorenzo wouldn't believe her, but he couldn't confirm it because Fabiola's phone was definitely out of reach.

He would only ask Diego to confirm, but it was evening and Diego wouldn't be back without an hour to go for a walk.

"Maybe you're wondering why Fabiola would ask me to deliver a message, but you know, grandpa went for a walk, so..."

Esme looked at his cold expression with great internal pain, but she thought that as soon as Fabiola was dead she would surely get Lorenzo’s heart.

So she left in triumph.
