Chapter 1031 So Mature For Their Age
While Pippa knew nothing about the affairs between their families, Archie and Benny knew exactly what happened. Daddy must’ve transferred Essie because he got into a fight with Mommy! He doesn’t want to let us play with Essie anymore!
Archie’s and Benny’s eyes reddened. They had always been obedient and composed in class, so this was Pippa’s first time seeing them cry. For some reason, she found herself empathizing with them.
Pippa knelt beside them and said gently, “Don’t worry. The three of you are very close, so I’m sure Essie will come to play with you two very often. Besides, I’m sure Essie wouldn’t want to see you two crying like this.”
Although Archie and Benny were still upset, they didn’t want to cause Pippa any trouble. Archie nodded obediently and held Benny’s hand as he said, “Come on, Ms. Ward. Let’s head inside!”
Pippa breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them stop crying, but she still felt bad for what they had to go through. My goodness… These two are so mature for their age!
Apart from being a lot quieter throughout the day, Archie and Benny showed no unusual behavior. It wasn’t until class was over that their eyes turned slightly red.
Pippa could see that they were still upset about Estella leaving, but she didn’t know how to comfort them. She simply held their hands in silence.
Lysa frowned in confusion when she arrived and saw their expressions. “What’s the matter? Did you two get into a fight with the other kids?” Archie and Benny shook their heads. “Essie is transferring to another kindergarten, Ms. Lane.”
Lysa froze in shock when she heard that. As she looked at the kids in the kindergarten, she realized Estella was nowhere to be seen. And here I thought Mr. Farwell had brought Essie home. Who knows…
“That’s all right. You can have your mommy take you to Essie’s house if you want to play with her.” Lysa sounded somewhat uncertain when she said that.
Lucian and Roxanne had practically cut off all forms of communication with each other. Lysa had no idea what happened between them, let alone if Roxanne would allow Archie and Benny to visit Estella.
Even so, she could only try her best to reassure them that everything would be all right. Archie and Benny pursed their lips and shook their heads.
Mommy and Daddy are still fighting, so there’s no way they’ll let us visit Essie! The boys sniffled at the thought of that and tried their best to suppress their tears.
Unsure of what she could do to comfort them, Lysa could only let out a helpless sigh in response. Upon arriving at the mansion, Lysa brought Archie and Benny into the house as quickly as she could.
Roxanne was already waiting for them at home. The moment they came in through the door, she noticed something was off about her kids. “What’s wrong?” she asked in confusion.
Archie and Benny ran toward her upon hearing her voice. Roxanne stretched her arms out to give them a big hug. “Tell me what happened.”
“Essie is transferring away, Mommy!” Benny replied. Roxanne’s expression and arms stiffened.
