Chapter 76

At first, Roxanne was stunned by Estella’s actions. But after that, her heart

ached for the latter. She instinctively lowered herself and pulled Estella into

her embrace, patting her on the back.

Estella tugged at the hem of Roxanne’s clothes, sobbing uncontrollably.

A look of helplessness flashed past Lucian’s eyes as he watched the scene

before him.

When we were at home a while ago, all Estella did was avoid me. Now that

Roxanne’s here, this girl actually reached out without hesitation to ask for a

hug. Are children naturally dependent on their mothers?

“Okay. Stop crying. Can you tell me what’s wrong?” Roxanne consoled

Estella, feeling worried.

Naturally, Estella did not know how to speak.

Finally, Lucian cleared his throat and said nonchalantly, “She went to

kindergarten today and did not see your boys, so she thought they stopped

going. She went home and cried the entire night, asking to come here to

confirm their reason for absence.”.Roxanne sighed inwardly upon hearing

that. This little girl is really clingy to my boys, eh?

Realizing that, Roxanne said in a softer tone, “There, there. Don’t cry. The

boys were having an upset stomach today, so I helped them to apply for a

leave of absence. They’ll be going back to school to play with you tomorrow.”

When she heard Roxanne saying the same words as Lucian, Estella finally

believed it. Slowly, she stopped sobbing and removed herself from Roxanne’s

embrace. And carefully, she peeped into the house, wanting to see the two

boys.However, it was impossible to view the dining room from the entrance. When

she did not see the twins, she started feeling uneasy again.

Roxanne noticed Estella’s cautious looks, and her heart melted. Patting

Estella’s head, she asked, “Do you want to play with them? I can take you to

them.”

With that, she smiled and carried Estella. Just as she was about to walk into

the house, Estella

suddenly leaned back. noveldrama

It was at that moment Roxanne recalled that the man was still standing at the

door.

On top of that, he would not enter the house without her invitation.

At that thought, she turned around to look at the man.

As the night breeze blew, Lucian’s shirt clung to his body, and he stared

impassively at the girls.

Looks like he was rushing to bring Essie here that he forgot to put on a coat.

Thanks to Estella, who was in her arms, Roxanne felt bad for him, and she

said calmly, “Have a seat inside, Mr. Farwell.”

Lucian entered the house as soon as she spoke.

The boys are having their dinner. Let me bring you over to them.” Roxanne

walked slowly, comforting Estella along the way.

Soon, three of them arrived in the dining room.

Archie and Benny were enjoying their food when they saw them walking in.

They swallowed the food in their mouths, a puzzled look on their faces. “What

is Essie doing here?”

Roxanne placed Estella between them and said softly, “Essie got worried

when both of you didn’t go to kindergarten today. She cried, wanting to look

for you. Go on. Talk to her.”

As if to confirm Roxanne’s words, Estella interlaced her fingers nervously on

her dress and looked unblinkingly at Archie and Benny with her large eyes.

The tip of her nose was slightly pink, making her look like a doll.

Archie and Benny exchanged gazes when they saw Estella in such a state.

They found her cute yet pitiful at the same time.“We weren’t feeling well this morning. We’re much better now. Don’t worry,”

Archie reassured earnestly.

Benny turned to Essie and made a face. “Look at you, all scared like that.

We’re just taking a day off. Can’t you be away from us for just a day? You little

minion.”

A sense of relief washed over Estella when she heard their words, and she

broke into a smile.
