The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 348

I won't be able to see Ms. Jarvis ever again. Estella was too heartbroken to listen to what she was told. Knowing that Roxanne was leaving, she couldn't help but sob again.

Roxanne smiled wryly and caressed Estella's head. “This could be the last time I see you, Essie. Don't cry anymore. Please smile more, okay?”

Estella cried and shook her head. “Don't leave, Ms. Jarvis.”

Roxanne let Estella cry for a while and comforted her when she got less emotional. “Get well soon, Essie. Once you're all grown up, you can come and visit me abroad.”

Deep down, Estella knew there was no way she could convince Roxanne to stay. Upon hearing her words, she grew hopeful. She then looked at Roxanne innocently and asked, “Really?”

Roxanne smiled and nodded.

Estella was still unconvinced. “But when I'm all grown up, will you still remember me, Ms. Jarvis?”

Roxanne shook her head firmly and answered, “Why wouldn't I? You're so cute, Essie. Why would I forget you?”

Archie and Benny quickly chimed in, “We'll remember you as well, Essie. Get well soon, okay?”

After getting her assurances, Estella went quiet for a while before nodding and wiping the tears off of her cheeks. “I'll stop crying now.”

Since this is going to be the last time Ms. Jarvis sees me, I must leave a good impression. I don't want her to only remember me crying. At that thought, Estella tried her best to smile.

Seeing that, Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was heartbroken, she put on a straight face and said, “Let's play Lego, okay? After that, I'll send you home.”

The kids nodded obediently.

Roxanne sighed inwardly and blamed herself for being so heartless. She's still so little. I should be nice to her, but she's still Lucian's kid.
