Chapter 503
Upon seeing Estella crying her eyes out and Lucian leaving all of a sudden, Roxanne clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.
“Ms. Jarvis…” Even Pippa was trying to speak up for Estella.
Cassandra quickly got up and said anxiously, “I’m sorry, Ms. Jarvis, but I won’t be changing teams anymore. You should go calm Essie down!”
Her eyes were filled with fear.
All I wanted was a chance to get closer to Lucian, but the arrangement ended up making Estella cry instead! If the Farwell family decides to pursue this matter, I’ll definitely be blamed for it!
Eventually, Roxanne clenched her teeth and lowered her gaze as she gave in to the pressure. She then walked up to Estella and said, “Stop crying, Essie. I won’t change teams anymore, okay?”
Estella was crying so hard that she couldn’t stop sobbing as she looked up at Roxanne.
Roxanne felt her heart ache when she saw Estella’s face all covered in snot and tears.
As she reached out to help wipe those tears, Estella simply stood there obediently and let her do it.
Roxanne was still trying to think of a way to calm Estella down when Lucian’s voice rang out from behind her. “You don’t have to force yourself if you don’t want to do this, Ms. Jarvis. Essie practically never attends class activities like this anyway.”
Roxanne’s feelings of guilt intensified even further after hearing that.
I want Essie to get better. She’s finally starting to adapt to being around her classmates, and yet, she got so upset because of me…
With that in mind, Roxanne caressed Estella’s chubby cheeks as she said, “I’m sorry, Essie. I take back what I said earlier, okay?”
Estella nodded and let go of Lucian’s hand before throwing herself into Roxanne’s embrace.
