Chapter 1109 No Trouble
Unlike Pippa’s disdainful attitude toward Aubree, Pamela was respectful.
In response, Aubree discarded her haughty attitude and nodded courteously at Pamela while pushing Estella toward her teacher.
At the recollection of the child’s prior performance in class, Pamela could not help but feel slightly worried.
Though it was indeed an honor for her to have the heiress of the Farwell family in her class, she would not escape the consequences if any misfortune should befall the child under her care.
Aubree seemed to have seen through her concerns and smiled at her. “Essie’s condition is rather unusual as she is sensitive to a change in environment. Please take care of her, Ms. Yaxley. I’ll treat you to a meal one of these days.”
Then, she lowered her gaze to Estella. “Say hello to your teacher, Essie.”
Aubree was trying her luck when she did that.
Earlier, in the car, the child had only been nodding or shaking her head in response to her words.
She was unsure if the child would heed her and greet the teacher.
If she defied me in public…
At the thought of that possibility, Aubree regretted her action at once and wished she had never uttered those words.
However, the child’s voice sounded the next second. “Hello, Ms. Yaxley.”
The child even bowed politely as she spoke.
Aubree and Pamela were stunned by the child’s response and only regained their composure a moment later.
“It seems that you got through to Essie. She has made remarkable progress.”
Pamela smiled as she delivered her compliment.
Aubree was even more pleased that Estella did not disappoint her. “Essie has always been a good child. She just needs time to get used to a new environment.”
