Chapter 759 Argument
“Mommy.” Right when Roxanne turned around, Archie tugged at the hem of her shirt. Roxanne lowered her eyes in confusion. Archie glanced at Benny before saying earnestly, “Benny and I will talk to Essie. She’s upset now, so she probably won’t listen to you.”
It was then that Roxanne realized she was one of the reasons Estella was upset. Since the boys had offered, Roxanne immediately agreed, “I’ll leave it to you boys, then.”
Archie and Benny nodded obediently, then ran to Estella’s side before looking at the two adults mysteriously. The next second, they disappeared behind the couch.
Roxanne was perplexed about how serious they looked, but she did not disturb them. Instead, she stood in the same spot helplessly and faced Lucian’s look of condemnation.
She had no idea what she had done to make him look at her that way. In the living room, the three children gathered together and whispered among themselves.
“I don’t want to go home.” Estella knew that the two boys were there to persuade her to leave, so she spoke first. Archie and Benny shared a look. Then, Archie said solemnly, “You have to go home with Mr. Farwell.”
Estella was disheartened to hear that. “Do you also not like me anymore? I don’t want to go home. Ms. Pearson is there.” Archie’s and Benny’s hearts softened when they saw how sad Estella looked. However, they had to look at the big picture.
Benny caressed Estella’s hair and told her, “We like you a lot; that’s why we want to be family with you.”
