Due to Benny's health, although he felt better after taking his medicine, Roxanne was still worried, so she got him excused from school to rest at home. Archie also stayed home to accompany him.
Meanwhile, having not seen the two brothers in kindergarten for two days in a row, let alone Roxanne, Estella became very depressed.
Originally, with Archie and Benny acting as examples, the children in the class would take her along to play. However, because of her aversion in the past two days, they also began to alienate her again.
After class, Estella often sprawled on her desk, pouting while staring at Archie and Benny's seats, hoping they would suddenly appear in their seats.
“What are you doing, Estella?” A kid could not suppress his curiosity anymore, so he came over and asked her.
Estella, however, seemed to have not heard his voice and carried on clawing at the table.
“Come and play with us!” he invited.
On the side, someone called out to him in a childish voice, “Ignore her, Yoel. Estella won't play with us!”
Yoel looked at Estella with some hesitation.
As early as before Archie and Benny came, he often invited Estella to play with him.
At that time, although Estella did not pay much attention to him, she would still have some reactions when she heard him speak, and sometimes, she would write and chat with him.
However, these two days, no matter what he said, she still acted as though she could not hear his voice.
The boy felt that her behavior was very strange and was a little worried about her.
Seeing his hand reaching over, Estella finally reacted, frowning and dodging it in displeasure.
Yoel's eyes lit up. Thinking that Estella was playing with him, he reached out again to grab her arm.
The back of Yoel's hand was all red, and he was momentarily stunned. I just wanted to play with her. Why did she hit me?
