Chapter 46


    Roxanne gave him a nomittal nod, before leading the boys over to greet the teacher.


    Just before she left, her gaze subconsciously fell upon Este again.


    When she saw that the three of them were about to go, Este stood up anxiously while staring intently


    at them.


    Worried that she would fall, the teacher quickly held onto her.


    After a brief hesitation, Roxanne couldn’t help inquiring out of concern. “Is she”


    Well aware of what she was about to ask, the boys answered right away, “Mommy, she’s a student


    here too. In fact, she’s in the same ss as we are. Since her daddy and mommy have yet to pick her


    up, she was waiting together with us.”


    Nodding in acknowledgment, Roxanne’s heart melted slightly at the sight of Este.


    Nevertheless, she didn’t intend to stay, for it will either be Lucian or Aubree who would be picking


    Este up soon, neither of whom she had any intention of seeing again.


    However, Este was visibly reluctant to see her go.


    Not wanting to disappoint her, Roxanne stroked Este’s head with a smile. “Your parents will be here


    soon. As I need to go first, you must obey the teacher and wait together with her, all right?”


    Just as Roxanne was about to leave, Este grabbed her sleeve tightly.


    Halted by Este’s reaction, Roxanne lowered her gaze and saw the former shaking her head with


    slightly reddened eyes.


    The look on Este’s face caused Roxanne to feel so heavy-hearted that she couldn’t bring herself to


    move.


    When the teacher saw Este refusing to let Roxanne leave, she sighed in resignation before


    approaching thetter to exin, “Este has recently been very close to Archie and Benny. Due to her


    autistic character, very few students are willing to y with her. But the very first day the brothers came


    to ss, they ended up protecting her. That’s why she has grown to rely on both of them. And now,


    she’s probably scared that they’re leaving.”


    After hearing about Este’s situation, Roxanne could feel the difort within her intensify.


    Not only is the little girl mute, but she’s also autistic. No wonder the teacher let the boys wait by the


    side.


    Unfortunately, the thought of running into Lucian and Aubree caused Roxanne to feel hesitant about


    staying behind.


    Despite the teacher’s coaxing, Este refused to let Roxanne go no matter what.


    After a while, the teacher appealed, “Ms. Jarvis, are you rushing for time? If not, shall we chat a


    little? Ever since Archie and Benny came to school, I have yet to speak to you about their progress.”


    It was clear to Roxanne that the teacher was just getting her to wait with Este under the pretext of


    discussing the boys’ performance in school.


    At the same time, Este, too, threw her a hopeful gaze.


    Faced with the look in Este’s eyes. Roxanne, who was about to decline, couldn’t bring herself to say


    it. In the end, she swallowed her words and nodded at the teacher.


    In response, Este’s eyes glistened as she discreetly leaned into Roxanne while holding thetter’s


    sleeve


    From afar, it looked as if she was leaning in Roxanne’s arms.


    Sensing the slight movement, Roxanne didn’t stop her nor show her any attention. Instead, she


    discussed the boys’ affairs with the teacher as if she didn’t realize anything.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.
