Mission To Remarry Chapter 175 For the next few days, Esiella played with Roxanne at home but had no playmates at the kindergarten.
She could only watch 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. âWhat do you want?â
Estella clutched the corners of her skirt until it was all crumpled up. Her brows snapped together as she stared at them solemnly. 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 wouldnât be forcing her to talk now.
A while later, they were about to give up when they heard a tiny whisper, âArch⦠Benâ¦â
Estellaâs cheeks were 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, âGood job, Essie!â
Estella was taken aback by their sudden hug. Hearing their praises, she snapped back to reality and br oke into a smile.
After the first try, it was easier for her to pronounce their names.
As she seemed to have overcome an obstacle, Archie said solemnly, âMommy treats you well, and you
adore her, too. Am I right? But youâve never called her name. I believe sheâs way more upset than Benn y and me.â
Estella grew flustered once again. She grabbed Archieâs shirt and said, âArch⦠ie!â
She wanted him to teach her how to comfort Roxanne A cunning look flashed across Archieâs eyes as he explained slowly, âYou called our names, so weâve forgiven you. If you can call Mommy Ms. Jarvis, sheâ
ll be delighted!â
Estella nodded vigorously.
She then spent the entire day at kindergarten practicing the word âMs. Jarvis.â
Roxanne was really busy these few days.
The project Harvey handed her was urgent and challenging. He mightâve 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 first time she got to work with most of the researchers in the research institute. They werenât 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 watch and realized Catalina shouldâve 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 Arc hie and Bennyâs chatter.
âMrs. Farwell?â Catalina was about to head into the kitchen when she saw Roxanne inside. âWhy are you back early today?â
Roxanne shot her a smile. âI got off work earlier than usual today. Dinnerâs almost ready. Please help them wash their hands, and we can eat soon!â
The kids ran into the kitchen and surrounded her.
Benny began telling her stories about his day in kindergarten.
Roxanneâs exhaustion faded into thin air as she took in their smiling faces.
âMiss!â An adorable voice rang out after Benny was done talking.
Stunned, 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 girlâs lips were still parted.
Once their gazes met, she repeated slowly, âMiss!â
It took Roxanne a while before she regained her composure. Squatting down, she flung her arms around Tears threatened to escape her eyes.
After taking care of Estella for a while, she was already treating the little girl as her own daughter.
When she heard Estella doing her best to address her as âMs. Jarvis,â she was transported back to the day when Archie and Benny learned how to call her âMommy.â
