The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 931

Chapter 931 Cute Essie

By the time they finished setting up, there was still some time until noon. Hence, Roxanne brought the kids to a place nearby to play. She had prepared many toys for them, especially for Estella.

Since Roxanne did not know what toys Estella liked to play with outdoors, she simply gathered some toys and brought them along. Before leaving the tents, the children each took their favorite toy out.

Archie and Benny each chose a water gun and a camera, while Estella picked a drawing board after much contemplation.

Roxanne could not help but chuckle when she saw the children’s toy of choice. After that, she led them away from the campsite.

The further they walked, the more types of flowers and plants they saw. It was all thanks to Roxanne’s influence that the children paid special attention to the plants in the wild.

Along the way, they would ask her about the names and uses of the flowers. Even the cameras they brought along turned out handy.

Since many plants in the world had medicinal uses, it was only natural that Roxanne was familiar with them. Thus, she answered each of their questions patiently.

Estella, however, was clearly quieter than the boys. Instead of asking questions, she followed behind them and drew on her drawing board in silence.

When Roxanne noticed Estella’s unusual silence, she thought the latter was feeling awkward. Hence, Roxanne stopped in her tracks and asked, “Are you having fun, Essie? I can take you back to the tent if you’re feeling tired.”

The boys, too, cast her concerned gazes, thinking she was being silent because she was not used to such settings.

To their surprise, Estella showed them her drawing board the moment Roxanne finished her sentence.

Estella’s brushstrokes were rather childish, but the drawing was recognizable. They were the plants Roxanne explained earlier.

“I think it’s fun!” Estella said, her eyes gleaming.
