Chapter 175 She Had Felt Exactly The Same Way
That went on for a few days. Estie had Rosalie to keep her company at home, but she was all alone at the kindergarten. She watched as the boys played with the other children but ignored her. Finally, Estie mustered up the courage and ran up to them. The boys exchanged a look and said sternly, “What is it now?”
Estie gripped the hem of her little dress until it was crumpled, and she had a deep frown on her pretty brow. She looked at them solemnly, opening her mouth and trying hard to vocalize.
Lucian and Nox watched her, anxiously and worriedly.
If they had not known that Estie could speak, they would never have been willing to force her like this.
They waited until they were about to give, when suddenly they heard a miniscule sound. “Lu… No…”
Estie‘s face was red as a tomato, but she could only manage a syllable for each of them. She lowered her head dejectedly. Lucian and Nox were overjoyed, however. They wrapped her up in a huge bear hug. “That was amazing, Estie!” Their hug took her off guard, but when they praised her, she finally realized what they meant. She smiled brightly, her dimples showing. After that first time, Estie could call their names much more easily from then on. Since she seemed to have overcome one of her psychological obstacles, Lucian continued solemnly, “My Mommy‘s always so nice to you, and you really like her too, don‘t you? But you never called her before, either. She has got to be even more crushed than Nox and me.”
Estie grew anxious again, grabbing Lucian‘s clothes and just barely saying, “Lu! Lu!”
She wanted him to teach her how to comfort that pretty auntie.
A hint of craftiness flashed across Lucian‘s eyes. He said leisurely, “We forgave you once you said our names. If you can call my Mommy Auntie, I‘m sure she‘ll be really happy!”
