The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1030

Chapter 1030 It Pained Her

Meanwhile, Archie and Benny were standing next to Pippa at the kindergarten. “Where did Essie go, Ms. Ward?” Pippa had no idea where Estella went, but she tried to reassure the boys. “Essie took the day off. But I’m not too sure about the reason.”

“Will we be able to see her tomorrow?” Archie asked. Pippa was hesitant to answer that question at first. Seeing how anxious the two of them were, however, she flashed them a smile. “Yes, you will.”

Only then did Archie and Benny breathe sighs of relief. When classes were almost over, Pippa received a call from the head of kindergarten.

He summoned her to his office and handed her a document and a pen. “All that’s left to do is for you to sign this.” Pippa took the pen and quickly read through the document.

“Essie is transferring to another kindergarten? But why? Is there something we’re not doing well enough?” she asked in confusion when she realized what it was.

“Mr. Farwell said it was a personal reason. He also said he would continue funding this kindergarten, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Just go ahead and sign the document,” the head of kindergarten replied with a smile. For some reason, Pippa couldn’t bring herself to sign the document.

I was the one who sent Essie out the gate today. Had I known she would be transferring to another kindergarten, I would’ve at least had a word with Mr. Farwell! Essie is in no condition to transfer right now! Besides, I just promised Archie and Benny that they’d be able to see her tomorrow. If I sign this now, how will I answer the boys tomorrow?

“Well? Hurry up and sign the document. I want to keep Essie here too because it’ll maximize the amount of funding we receive from Mr. Farwell. However, this is his decision, so there’s nothing much we can do about it,” said the head of kindergarten.

After taking a moment to recompose herself, Pippa signed her name on the document.

The next morning, Archie and Benny ran up to Pippa immediately after Lysa dropped them off at the gate.

“Good morning, Ms. Ward! Is Essie here?” they asked in unison.

With a conflicted look on her face, Pippa shook her head.
