Chapter 521
After several days of rehearsal, it was finally Friday.
When Roxanne went to pick the little ones up in the evening, she saw the children carrying a pile of clothes in their arms. Excitement was written all over their faces,
“Look, Mommy! These are our costumes!” Benny showed her the costumes as Roxanne walked toward him.
Roxanne nodded gently in response and took over the outfits from the boys.
Meanwhile, Estella was also waiting at one side while carrying two pairs of costumes
-one for her and one for Lucian.
Estella had always been physically weak. That was why she seemed to have difficulties carrying the costumes and a bag on her back.
Once Roxanne took over the costumes from Benny and Archie, the boys ran to her and helped her with the clothes.
Estella gratefully passed the garments to the boys and thanked them.
The three children then lined up in front of Roxanne, waiting for her to lead them to the car.
In the last couple of days, Roxanne would always take them back together. Estella thought it would be the same for today.
Seeing how excited the children were, Roxanne leaned forward, stroked Estella’s head, and said awkwardly, “Since the rehearsal is tomorrow, we won’t be rehearsing today anymore.”
That answer took Estella by surprise. Feeling disappointed, the little girl lowered her head.
Since there would be no rehearsal today, Estella would not be able to go to Roxanne’s place to play with the boys.
Roxanne’s heart melted when she noticed how upset Estella was. She looked at the girl and said softly, “But Essie, you can wait for your daddy in our car.”
With that said, she straightened her back and reached out her hand to Estella.
