Chapter 1061 Something Is Off
Estella was clearly alarmed by what Roxanne said. She couldn’t stop crying and shaking her head. Roxanne wiped the girl’s tears away and uttered softly, “In that case, don’t cry anymore.” Archie and Benny helped do the same.
After Roxanne said she liked Estella, the two of them repeated their mother’s sentiment. “It doesn’t matter what our relationship is. We’ll still like you, Essie!”
While that stopped Estella from sobbing further, she still felt quite upset. “But… if I change school, I won’t be able to see you two anymore.”
Benny promised, “Even if you do, we’ll still visit you to play with you! If Mr. Farwell and the others forbid us from doing so, we’ll just sneak our way in!”
Having listened to the conversation among the children, Roxanne thought, I don’t think I’ll let them meet each other again after this.
However, Estella seemed to be moved. Roxanne didn’t want to burst their bubbles, so she agreed with her silence.
The three of them talked with Estella for a long while, and only then was her mood finally lifted again.
Benny recounted everything interesting that had happened in the kindergarten over the past two days.
When Roxanne finally saw Estella smiling from listening to Benny’s story, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“You should keep her company for a while, Archie. I have something I need Benny’s help with.” She was still wondering why Benny had called Lucian Daddy and wanted to ask him about it.
The kids were in a happy mood at that moment, so none of them gave her statement much thought.
Benny merely thought his mother needed his aid to decoding something again, so he followed her upstairs enthusiastically.
It wasn’t until he noticed that his mother was heading toward their bedroom instead of the study that he started to feel guilty.
