Chapter 493
Meanwhile, Roxanne hesitated when she read the text message sent in the group chat.
She had just sealed the deal with the Damaris family, and it was expected of her to adjust her schedule according to the request of the Damaris family. Hence, she was not sure if she would be busy then.
Moreover, she had to attend the anniversary celebration. With that said, she would inevitably run into either Lucian or Estella; or both.
She could not bear to see the sad puppy eyes of Estella.
While Archie and Benny were discussing the anniversary celebration with her, they saw the message posted by Pippa in the group chat. Upon noticing the worrisome look on Roxanne’s face, they asked cautiously, “Will you go, Mommy?”
Their tone of voice put her in a quandary. “If I don’t go, would you two be able to attend the event on your own?”
The boys exchanged a glance and shook their heads vigorously. “We want you to be there, Mommy!”
Actually, the two kids were not bothered if Roxanne was absent. However, they thought about the chance of their mother running into Estella if she were to show up at the anniversary celebration.
It’s been a long while since Mommy has paid Essie a visit. We really want to cheer Essie up.
Roxanne frowned instead of answering immediately.
Benny put up a pitiful face and stared into Roxanne’s eyes. “Mommy, this is the very first time we’re going to perform on stage.”
Right then, Archie chimed in, “We really want you to watch our performance. Little children like us will get stage fright if Mommy isn’t there.”
Roxanne found it amusing to hear Archie express his fear so solemnly, but she acknowledged their desire to want her there.
Even though she was not sure if the boys were up to anything, she did not want to miss the kids’ first-ever performance. After mulling it over for a long time, she agreed, “Okay, I got it. I’ll accompany you to the celebration.”
