Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1071

Chapter 1071 All My Fault

The children stood in line uneasily when they heard the word “punishment.” Solemnly, Roxanne swept her gaze past the three of them and remained quiet for a while. Then she pointed at the wall. “All of you will stand there for fifteen minutes.”

Although the boys were usually well-behaved, they had been punished before. They made their way to a corner and stood facing the wall. Estella moved exceptionally slowly.

When Roxanne saw that, she furrowed her eyebrows. Thinking that Estella still thought herself innocent, she urged, “You’ll need to stand there longer if you walk this slow.”

Upon hearing that, the girl gathered the courage to turn back to Roxanne. Roxanne was puzzled. Is the punishment too severe? Is that why she’s looking at me?

Aggrievedly, Estella asked, “If I accept the punishment, will you still like me, Ms. Jarvis?”

The girl’s question melted Roxanne’s heart into a puddle. “If you learn from your mistake and don’t repeat them, I’ll continue to like you, just as I always did.”

Estella’s eyes lit up as she promised, “Okay, Ms. Jarvis! I’ll definitely behave myself!” She quickened her pace and arrived next to the boys. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault for getting us punished.”

Archie and Benny shook their heads. “We’re best friends, and best friends share the joys and sorrows in life together!”

When she heard that, Roxanne wasn’t sure if she should laugh or cry.

Those in the know would know that they were being punished, but those not in the know would think they had done something incredible.
