Estella held her book and wrote each letter carefully. When she was done, she lifted it to show Pippa.
She wrote: Ms. Ward, I also want to be excused from school.
The little girl looked at Pippa with a serious expression.
Pippa had roughly guessed Estella's intention, but she still asked, "Are you going to see Archie and Benny?"
Estella nodded vigorously.
Pippa frowned and thought for a while. "I can grant you leave from school, but you have to tell your daddy and let him take you there.”
Estella's expression fell again when she heard that. She shook her head stubbornly and wrote in the notebook: No
Daddy!
Seeing the big exclamation mark at the back, Pippa could not help but feel troubled.
Estella's situation was special in the first place. During the previous parent-child event, the little girl got lost, which scared Pippa a lot and made her even more concerned about the girl.
Normally, in such situations, Pippa should get Estella's parents to come over to take her there. She even had to hand over the little girl to her father in person.
However, for some reason, Essie displays such aversion toward her daddy.
When she did not get a reply from Pippa after a long time, Estella pouted again, and her eyes were red.
She wished to visit Archie and Benny, but she knew that if her father went with her, Roxanne and the two boys would not be happy.
Pippa noticed that the little girl was about to cry again. In the spur of a moment, she could only say, "I'll take you there, okay?"
Estella's eyes lit up again as she nodded vigorously.
