“So what's going on, exactly?” questioned Benny impatiently.
However, Estella simply stared at Roxanne, hoping to get a solid answer from the woman.
The look in Roxanne's eyes softened when she met the girl's gaze. She nodded. “Okay. I won't get angry with Lucian.”
Only after that did Estella finally reveal, “The evil woman's staying with us.”
Archie and Benny were both stunned when they heard Estella, but as soon as they regained their senses, they realized who the girl was talking about.
On the other hand, Roxanne's face was filled with puzzlement as she wondered who the person in question was.
“It's Aubree!” Benny was furious when he remembered how the woman bullied his mother. As much as he wanted to, he could not figure out why his father would take Aubree in.
Roxanne's eyebrows furrowed slightly when she got the answer to her question.
Even though the woman promised Estella she would not get upset, she still felt uncomfortable deep down. What is Lucian thinking? Why would he take Aubree in after telling me he wanted to pursue me? He even said that he'd give me an explanation. Besides, he knows how Aubree got physical with Essie. How can Essie feel safe with Aubree around when it's clear she has an aversion to that woman?
The symptoms of Estella's autism had just improved, so Roxanne was worried Aubree's presence would undo that.
Moreover, nobody could guarantee that Aubree would not take the opportunity to hurt Estella again.
The thought of Aubree bullying the little girl again left Roxanne heartbroken.
“Ms. Jarvis,” called out Estella while cautiously tugging at Roxanne's sleeve.
