Archie and Benny chuckled in delight as the public view tilted in favor of their mother.
Estella woke up and rubbed her eyes groggily. “Archie, Benny, what are you guys doing?”
Archie and Benny closed their laptop immediately when they heard Estella’s voice. They shook their heads in unison. “It’s nothing. We’re just browsing the stock market.”
They decided to handle the chaos that was going down online themselves. Estella had no need to get involved.
Estella felt that something was off as she stared at the boys.
However, nothing came to mind, as she was still groggy from her sleep. She took a moment to gather her thoughts before getting out of bed to wash up.
Archie and Benny wanted to continue monitoring the online discussion, but Roxanne called them down for breakfast.
After Estella washed up, they put their laptop away and went down.
Roxanne noticed that her two boys were in high spirits during breakfast and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the occasion?”
Archie and Benny exchanged looks and replied, “Nothing special. We’re just glad to have our sister back.”
Estella nodded enthusiastically in agreement. “I’m very happy too!”
Roxanne didn’t dwell further on the matter upon hearing that. Her heart warmed as she stared at the kids’ smiling faces.
She scooped some food onto their plates. “I’ll take you out for some fun after breakfast, okay?”
