174The next morning, Roxanne and the three kids had breakfast togetherEstella sat beside her quictly

and allowed the boys to feed her. Fler cheeks pulled up adorably as though she were a chipmunk.Roxa

nne felt her heart sofien at the sight of the obedient little girl. She also felt bad for her.I believe Essie wa

nted to talk last night. With that thought in mind, she

gazed at Estella affectionately. “Essie, do you want some buns?”Estella nodded eagerly.Roxanne picke

d up a bun but didn‘t place it on Estella‘s plate. She said, “If you want, tell me in words.”Estella blinked,

seemingly stumped by her request.Roxanne‘s brows furrowed in disappointment. “If you don‘t talk, I mi

ght not understand what you want. That way, I’ll worry that I can‘t take

care ofyou. Essie, can you get used to talking? Don‘t worry, I‘ll help you. We can do it slowly.”Hearing h

er words, Archie and Benny placed their forks

down. “Let‘s do it together! We want to hear Essie talk, too!“.As their expectant gazes

fell on Estella, she glanced at each and every one of them. Her fists balled up as she forced herself to

grunt, “Mm!”Roxanne and the boys were pleasantly delighted by her soft and adorable voice. Their eye

s lit up in surprise.I was just trying my luck

and didn‘t expect Estella to talk for real!Despite wanting more, Roxanne knew she shouldn‘t be

impatient. She stroked Estella‘s hair adoringly before

d when she saw Explla‘s precious grin.Estella beamed at her and nodded happily,Benny chimed in, “W

e‘re helping her to learn how to talk!” Pippa assumed they were joking around. After all, she had taught

Estella for some ume but never heard Estolla talk.However, Archie and Benny

took the matter seriously. They were even discussing how to push Estella to talk during class.In betwee

n classes, Estella went to them as usual so they could play together.Nevertheless, Archie wasn‘t his us

ual self. He frowned and demanded, “What do you want from us?”Puzzled, Estella whipped her head ar

ound to look at Benny.I want to play with Archie and Benny! We play together every day, right?

Benny added sternly, “Hurry up and tell us what you want. Archie and I are busy!”Both of them were ob

viously treating her coldly. Estella recalled how she followed them everywhere back when they

first came and how they ignored her. She really enjoyed playing with them recently, so she grew fluster

ed and grabbed the pencil and paper on Benny‘s table so she could write her thoughts out.To her surpri

se, Archie pocketed the pencil. “Talk to us. Otherwise, we won‘t know what you mean.”Estella gripped t

he corner of the desk sadly.“Didn‘t you promise

Mommy this morning that you‘ll learn how to talk slowly?” Benny gazed at her. “If

you can‘t talk, you can call our names.We‘ve been calling your name, Essie, but you‘ve never said our

names!”Estella parted her lips but nothing came out of her mouth. She grew anxious and was about to

burst into tears.Seeing that, Archie and Benny gave her the pencil instead of forcing her to talk.Howeve

r, for the next few days, the two boys grew distant from her at home and at the kindergarten.Every time

Estella came to them, Benny would huff angrily, “We treated you well, but you wouldn‘t even call our na

mes! We‘re going to ignore you!”Estella was devastated.
