    Chapter 148 Making It Up To Her


    Feeling bad for making the boys sad, Lucian didn’t show up for the next few days. Instead, he would


    asionally send a message to check in on Este.


    As for Roxanne, she heightened her vignce after what happened and was secretly relieved that he


    didn’t drop by.


    When she saw that his messages were not rted to the boys, she replied to all of them ordingly.


    From the frequent messages that he sent, Roxanne could see how much he cared for Este.


    Since he cares so much about her, why hasn’t he made an appearance? Is he not worried about


    leaving her with me just like that? I really have no idea what’s going through that mind of his.


    Luckily, Este was adorable. Not only did she have exquisite features, she was also exceptionally


    obedient.


    Every time she cozied up to Roxanne, Roxanne would be reminded of the daughter she had lost. If she

    managed to grow up safely, she would be Essie’s age.


    With that thought in mind, Roxanne treated Este as if she was family. Deep down, she felt that being


    nice to thetter was her way of making it up to her lost daughter.


    After spending a lot of time together, Archie and Benny began to see Este as their own sister.


    Whether they were at home or in kindergarten, they would constantly protect her.


    Meanwhile, Este smiled all the time during her stay with Roxanne.


    When Roxanne saw how happy Este was, she could feel her heartstrings being tugged.


    At the rate they were progressing, Este’s condition quickly stabilized. In other words, she would be


    able to go home soon.


    Holding that thought, Roxanne began to feel reluctant to part with Este.


    During the weekend, Roxanne nned to take them out for the day, as they have not gone on an


    outing ever since Este started staying with them.


    “Mommy!” Archie and Benny approached her enthusiastically. “Let’s take Essie to the aquarium!”


    Hearing that, Roxanne looked in Este’s direction to seek her opinion.


    Thetter nodded obediently.


    As long as I can stay with Ms. Jarvis, Archie, and Benny, it doesn’t matter where I go.


    With that, Roxanne got the children to pack up before heading to the aquarium together.


    Since Lucian was usually busy with work, he seldom brought Este out. As for Archie and Benny, it


    was the first time both of them visited an aquarium in the country.


    The moment the children entered the aquarium, they were captivated by the smorgasbord of marine life


    in it. From time to time, they would stop to interact with the fishes.


    Roxanne would patiently wait and take pictures for them. Furthermore, she would also provide an


    exnation of the fish that she recognized.


    As a result, the children had a st inside.


    Afterward, Roxanne took them to the children’s activity center where she sat by the side and waited.


    Just then, her phone rang.


    When she saw who it was, her brows slightly knitted.


    Lucian? He has only been sending messages recently, so why is he calling now?


    Lucian’s voice rang out once the call connected. “Where are you?”


    Roxanne was briefly stunned. “Did somethinge up?”


    Lucian replied in a deep voice. “I brought Essie something, but Catalina told me that you guys have


    gone out. Where are you? I’ll go over instead.”


    He dropped by early in the morning to see Este but didn’t find her there. When Cayden asked him


    whether he wanted to go home, Lucian hesitated before giving Roxanne a call.


    Since it was about Este, Roxanne pondered briefly before replying, “We’re at the aquarium.”


    Over the line, Lucian’s voice rang out at once. “I’ll head over right away.”
