His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 343

Chapter 343 Were You Worried About Me

After asking a few more questions out of concern, Pippa checked the time and appeared troubled.

Although she agreed to excuse Estella from school, she did not take any leave, and it was not good to stay outside for too long.

“Since you’ve visited Archie and Benny, Essie, let’s go back,” Pippa asked the little girl for her opinion.

However, Estella stared at Roxanne and the boys, pursed her lips, and shook her head.

Seeing Estella’s reaction, Pippa knew it would not be easy for her to take the little girl back that day. Not knowing what to do, she could only shoot Roxanne a beseeching look.

Roxanne smiled at her. “Let Essie stay. I’ll send her home later. You can go off first.”

Hearing those words, Pippa sighed with relief and got up to say goodbye.

Roxanne and the children saw Pippa out before returning to the living room.

Estella clutched the woman’s hand tightly the entire time and did not want to let go even though her hand was sweating.

Although Roxanne’s heart softened at the sight, she had to force herself to be firm.

The reason why she told Pippa to let Estella stay was that she knew the little girl would not leave easily. Secondly, she also had something to say to the girl.

Roxanne crouched down, looked into Estella’s eyes, and was about to speak when suddenly, the little girl’s stomach growled.

“Essie is hungry, Mommy,” Benny innocently reminded his mother.

Roxanne’s eyebrows knitted slightly. However, looking at the innocent and pitiful little face in front of her, the words she intended to speak could not come out. She merely said, “It’s lunchtime. Have lunch with us, Essie.”

Estella bobbed her head obediently.
