Estella's eyes were downcast, cheeks puffed out, and sadness was written all over her face. Archie and Benny exchanged a helpless look, but they promised Roxanne they would coax Estella.

If you like Mommy, try harder to help Mr. Farwell woo her!" She glanced at him with a pout, her attention piqued. He dabbed at the tears pooling in the corner of her eyes and frowned worriedly. "We wanted Mommy and Mr. Farwell to get closer, but it seems like he's upset with her again."

Benny interjected, "Mommy is in the wrong here, but we can't be a family if Mr. Farwell continues to be angry."
