Chapter 148 Making It Up To Her
Feeling bad for making the boys sad, Lucian didn’t show up for the next few days. Instead, he would occasionally send a message to check in on Estella.
As for Roxanne, she heightened her vigilance after what happened and was secretly relieved that he didn’t drop by.
When she saw that his messages were not related to the boys, she replied to all of them accordingly.
From the frequent messages that he sent, Roxanne could see how much he cared for Estella.
Since he cares so much about her, why hasn’t he made an appearance? Is he not worried about leaving her with me just like that? I really have no idea what’s going through that mind of his.
Luckily, Estella was adorable. Not only did she have exquisite features, she was also exceptionally obedient.
Every time she cozied up to Roxanne, Roxanne would be reminded of the daughter she had lost. If she managed to grow up safely, she would be Essie’s age.
With that thought in mind, Roxanne treated Estella as if she was family. Deep down, she felt that being nice to the latter was her way of making it up to her lost daughter.After spending a lot of time together, Archie and Benny began to see Estella as their own sister. Whether they were at home or in kindergarten, they would constantly protect her.
Meanwhile, Estella smiled all the time during her stay with Roxanne.
When Roxanne saw how happy Estella was, she could feel her heartstrings being tugged.
At the rate they were progressing, Estella’s condition quickly stabilized. In other words, she would be able to go home soon.
Holding that thought, Roxanne began to feel reluctant to part with Estella.
During the weekend, Roxanne planned to take them out for the day, as they have not gone on an outing ever since Estella started staying with them.
“Mommy!” Archie and Benny approached her enthusiastically. “Let’s take Essie to the aquarium!”
Hearing that, Roxanne looked in Estella’s direction to seek her opinion.
