Chapter 445
Speaking of Estella, Roxanne couldn‘t help feeling somewhat distressed. The smile on her face turned a touch forced.
Estella was unhappy because of her, yet she could only have Archie and Benny mollify the girl on her behalf.
As Archie and Benny clocked her expression, their eyes dimmed. Self–reproach was written all over their faces. “We‘re sorry, Mommy.”
Roxanne‘s brows furrowed in bafflement when they apologized all of a sudden.
Benny muttered weakly, “We shouldn‘t have thrown a tantrum with you because of Essie. You must also be very tired every day, Mommy. Don‘t worry. We‘ll do our best to make her happy henceforth!”
“Just focus on your work, Mommy. We‘ll take good care of Essie!” Archie echoed.
Roxanne beamed in gratification. “Thank you, Darlings.”
“But it‘ll be far better if you can go and visit Essie, Mommy,” Benny added in a whisper.
After saying that, he was afraid that Roxanne heard him, so he smilingly announced, “It‘s okay even if you can‘t visit her. We‘ll help take good care of Essie on your behalf, Mommy!”
Roxanne smilingly patted him on the head. She watched as the two children went to bed before she stood up and returned to her room.
Meanwhile, at the Farwell residence, Estella had been down in the dumps ever since
she came home from kindergarten.
Lucian‘s brows knitted together.
Her mood has improved significantly after learning that Roxanne isn‘t going abroad so soon, but she‘s abruptly depressed again today for some inexplicable reason.
“What‘s wrong?” He regarded her in bewilderment.
“Ms. Jarvis...” Estella admitted sullenly.
