Feeling a lot better after hearing what Archie said, Benny nodded profusely in response.
The two of them then went silent after that.
The silence was broken when an adorable voice called out to them from behind, “Archie! Benny!”
Upon turning around, they saw a little girl with pigtails leaning against their desk.
“When will Essie come back?” she asked nervously.
Although she and Estella were pretty close, she knew nothing about Estella transferring to another school. Since Estella was often seen being around Archie and Benny, she figured she would try asking them about it.
Her question made Archie and Benny, whose mood had just improved, feel depressed again.
Even so, they couldn't bring themselves to burst the little girl's bubble when they saw the expectant look in her eyes. “She should be back soon,” they replied.
The girl's eyes instantly lit up with joy. “I knew Essie would come back! Ms. Ward said Essie wouldn't be coming back anymore, but I didn't believe her! I'm so smart!”
The little girl then happily returned to the crowd while Archie and Benny exchanged glances.
“We need to have Mommy and Daddy get back together as soon as possible!” Archie said with a serious look on his face.
Of course, Benny understood what they had to do.
“What did Daddy tell Mommy the other day? She looked really upset! As for Daddy, he...”
Benny felt his heart ache as he recalled Lucian's expression when he left the other day.
It's like Daddy won't be coming to see us anymore! Mommy and Daddy have gotten into fights in the past, but things have never gotten this bad before!
Archie shook his head as he didn't understand the situation either.
