Naturally, Archie and Benny also knew Estella wouldn't be thrilled to attend a new school.
Nevertheless, they decided not to push that matter further when they saw Roxanne's reddened eyes.
“We got it, Mommy.”
Roxanne forced a smile at her kids. “Let's finish our meals and get rested earlier.”
The boys nodded obediently.
Subsequently, the trio had their dinner absentmindedly.
They returned to their rooms after taking a few bites of their food.
Roxanne lay on her bed, looking at the conch shell Estella gave her, with complicated emotions churning within her.
She had just been listening to Archie and Benny giving her an account of their fun time hanging out with Estella the day before.
Unexpectedly, Lucian had transferred Estella to another school that day.
She could easily imagine how hard Estella would've cried when the latter was informed of that matter.
Nonetheless, she was no longer in a position fit to comfort the little girl.
Roxanne didn't even have the courage to ask how Estella was doing.
At the thought of Estella's tear-stricken face, Roxanne felt heart-wrenching pain in her chest.
Meanwhile, inside Archie and Benny's bedroom, the two boys huddled together on the same bed.
“Don't cry. Don't soil my bed with your snot.”
Archie regarded his little brother, who was sniffling continuously, with a tense expression.
Tears brimmed in Benny's eyes. Under Archie's watchful gaze, he tried his best to suppress his urge to cry.
“Essie must be crying her eyes out,” Benny uttered in an undertone.
Archie knitted his brows and nodded. “That's why we must hurry up and go comfort her.”
