Chapter 44

Speaking of Estella, Roxanne couldn‘t help feeling somewhat distressed. The smile on her face turned a touch forced. 

Estella was unhappy because of her, yet she could only have Archie and Benny mollify the girl on her behalf. 

As Archie and Benny clocked her expression, their eyes dimmed. Self–reproach was written all over their faces. “We‘re sorry, Mommy.”

“Just focus on your work, Mommy. We‘ll take good care of Essie!” Archie echoed. 

Roxanne beamed in gratification. “Thank you, Darlings.”
