Chapter 341 Only Want Archie And Benny
Pippa heard Estella’s sobs as soon as she entered the classroom. She quickly looked over, only to see the little girl crying her heart out with a tearful face. “What’s wrong, Essie?” Pippa hurried to the little girl’s side.
Estella simply continued crying without saying a word.
Beside her, Yoel obediently stood up and explained the situation to Pippa, “Ms. Ward, when class was over, I wanted to invite Estella to play, but I seemed to have scared her.”
Soon, someone could not stand it and spoke up for Yoel. “It was Estella who hit Yoel first, but she ended up crying herself.”
Pippa listened to the children’s words, and understanding dawned upon her.
Having been Estella’s teacher for such a long time, she naturally was aware of the girl’s condition. Moreover, she had also noticed Estella’s gloomy mood for the past two days.
It should be as Yoel said. He scared Essie, so she hit him.
At that thought, Pippa looked at Yoel with concern. “Where did Estella hit you? Are you okay? Let me have a look.”
The boy stretched out his hand obediently. “She just hit the back of my hand. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Pippa looked over him, and after confirming that he was fine, she finally felt at ease. “I apologize to you on Essie’s behalf.”
Yoel nodded indifferently before looking at Estella with concern. “But she’s still crying.”
Pippa was equally worried. She lifted Estella, stood up, and said to the other students, “I’ll take Essie out for a while. Another teacher will come to watch you. Be good.”
When the children agreed in unison, Pippa walked out of the classroom with Estella in her arms.
“Essie, I’ll give your daddy a call, okay?”
