Chapter 1194
Archie and Benny quickly put in a good word for Lucian.
“Mommy, Mr. Farwell was worried about you and he also took good care of us.”
Roxanne felt a wave of helplessness overwhelming her heart when she realized the kids were siding with him.
She couldn’t help but notice Lucian’s worn–out appearance. It was clear to her that he was really worried about her.
However, that didn’t mean that she could accept him without any reservations.
As Roxanne struggled to think of a way to respond to the children, Lucian interjected, “This is a matter for us adults, so stay out of it. Your mommy has just woken up. You should talk to her.”
Roxanne felt a sense of relief deep down, grateful for Lucian’s intervention in the situation. Despite that, she still dared not look up at him and only offered the children a tremulous smile.
The kids stopped pressuring Roxanne for an answer. They gathered around her and began recounting the amusing occurrences at their kindergarten.
Archie and Benny talked for some time when they realized Estella was silent.
Growing curious, they asked, “Essie, are you happy at your new kindergarten?”
They had always pondered about that, yet they never got the opportunity to meet up with Estella.
When they finally met up, Roxanne got sick, and it wasn’t until now that they finally had the chance to ask her this long–awaited question.
Roxanne’s heart sank upon hearing their question.
The previous time I visited Essie, she was bullied by the other kids. I wonder how she’s doing there now.
Lucian had taught the parents a lesson, but Roxanne was worried that the kids would hold a grudge and ignore their parents‘ warnings.
She cast Estella a worried look.
Estella blinked twice before turning over her shoulder to look at Lucian.
