Chapter 175

Chapter 175 For the next few

days, Esiella played with Roxanne at home but had no playmates at the kindergarten.She could only w

atch as Archie and

Benny played with the other children and ignored her entirely. Finally, she plucked up her courage to ru

n to them.The boys shared a look and put on stern expressions. “What do you want?”Estella clutched t

he corners of her skirt until it was all crumpled up. Her brows snapped together as she stared at them s

olemnly. Parting her lips, she tried to make a sound.

Archie and Benny were both worried and anxious.If they had no idea she could actually talk, they would

n‘t be forcing her to talk now.A while later, they were about to give up when they heard a tiny whisper, “

Arch… Ben…”Estella‘s cheeks were NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

flushed, but she only managed to utter a syllable from each of their names. She hung her head low des

pondently.Both Archie and Benny were elated. They gave her a hug

and exclaimed, “Good job, Essie!”Estella was taken aback by their sudden hug. Hearing their praises, s

he snapped back to reality and broke into a smile.After the first try, it was easier for her to pronounce th

eir names.As she seemed to have overcome an obstacle, Archie said solemnly, “Mommy treats you wel

l, and you adore her, too. Am I right? But you‘ve never called her name. I believe she‘s way more upset

than Benny and me.”Estella grew flustered once again. She grabbed Archie‘s shirt and said, “Arch… ie

explained slowly, “You called our names, so we‘ve forgiven you. If you can call Mommy Ms. Jarvis, she‘

ll be delighted!”Estella nodded vigorously.She then spent the entire day at kindergarten practicing the w

ord “Ms. Jarvis.”Roxanne was really busy these few days.The project Harvey handed her

was urgent and challenging. He might‘ve informed her about the details, but there was

still stuff he missed. Thus, Roxanne and her team had to figure out those by themselves.This was the f

irst time

she got to work with most of the researchers in the research institute. They weren‘t familiar with each ot

her, and thus their project was behind schedule.Fortunately, Colby was around to help her catch

up.By the time the first phase was completed, Roxanne was depleted of energy.She glanced at her wat

ch and realized Catalina should‘ve picked the kids up from kindergarten already.Thus, Roxanne drove

back home to prepare dinner for them.Shortly after, the door to the mansion was pushed open. A series

of footsteps sounded followed by Archie and Benny‘s chatter.“Mrs. Farwell?” Catalina was about to he

ad into

the kitchen when she saw Roxanne inside. “Why are you back early today?”Roxanne shot her a smile.

“I got off work earlier than usual today. Dinner‘s almost ready. Please help them wash their hands, and

we can eat soon!”The kids ran into the kitchen and surrounded

her.Benny began telling her stories about his day in kindergarten.Roxanne‘s exhaustion faded into thin

air as she took in their smiling faces.“Miss!” An adorable voice rang out after Benny was done talking.St

unned, Roxanne lowered her head to look at Estella, who

was standing beside her.Estella was hugging her leg and staring at her intently. The little girl‘s lips were

still parted.Once their gazes met,

she repeated slowly, “Miss!”It took Roxanne a while before she regained her composure. Squatting do

wn, she flung her arms around the little girl and replied happily, “Yes, I‘m here! That sounds amazing, E

ssie!”Tears threatened to escape her eyes.After taking care of Estella for a while, she was already treati

ng the little girl as her own daughter.When she heard Estella doing her best to address

her as “Ms. Jarvis,” she was transported back to the day when Archie and

Benny learned how to call her “Mommy.”
