Chapter 173


    Mission To Remarry


    “I‘m sorry. Something came up at night, so I couldn‘t fetch you, ve you calon yet?” Roxanne asked


    gently in concern as she released the three children.


    Archie, Benny, and Este nodded obediently. “Yeah! We‘ve eaten! We have been ying for a long


    time!”


    She secretly sighed with relief when she heard that. After that, she stood up. “What were you ying?


    Show me.”


    Benny dashed toward the living room excitedly. “We were ying with the Lego bricks that Mr. Farwell


    gave us! It‘s really fun!”


    On the other hand, Archie and Este stayed by Roxanne‘s side. She was holding hands with the


    children, with one at each side as she watched Benny with a smile on her face.


    Obviously, the Lego bricks that Lucian had given them met their expectations in terms of the design


    and level of difficulty, and they loved the gift.


    In just one night, the three children had already made a base.


    However, no matter how Roxanne looked at it, that Lego set seemed boyish to her.


    She looked at Este with concern in her eyes. “Essie, do you like this toy?”


    Este‘s eyes lit up as she nodded fervently.


    As long as I can y with Archie and Benny, I‘m fine with ying anything!


    Seeing that, Roxanne felt relieved. After taking a look at the time, she yed with them for a while


    more since it was still early.


    Archie and Benny were used to ying Lego with her, so each of them started to build their models


    seriously. Roxanne also decided to make something after she selected a model.


    When she was looking for a piece, she felt someone lug the hem of her sunt twice.


    Roxanne turned around in confusion and saw Este looking at her with a pitful and helpless look. The


    little girl was holding a picture with the building instructions as she pointed at one of the pieces in it.


    It was obvious that she couldn‘t find the piece she wanted


    Roxanne smiled in adoration. Just as she was about to help Este look for the piece together, she


    remembered how thetter had spokenst time.


    If Roxanne had guessed it correctly, Este would only asionally utter one or two words when she


    was emotional.


    Thinking of that, Roxanne pretended to look confusedly at Este. “What‘s wrong?”


    Este pointed at the piece in the picture again and again, but Roxanne continued to stare at her in


    confusion.


    After some time, Este got anxious and pouted.


    Roxanne‘s heart softened at that, and she caressed Este‘s head. “If you want me to do something,


    you should say it out loud and tell me.”


    Este blinked innocently as she opened her mouth.


    Roxanne thought that she was about to say something, so she looked at thetter expectantly.


    Este seemed to be trying hard, but after a few attempts, not a single word came out of her mouth.


    Feeling discouraged, she poked Archie and Benny, who were concentrating on building their models.


    Since Archie and Benny had spent some time building the models together with Este, they could tell


    what she meant based on her movements. When they wanted to help her out, they saw that Roxanne


    was shaking her head at them behind Este.


    Seeing that, Archie and Benny obediently sat back down again despite not knowing what Roxanne was


    trying to do.


    Roxanne said again patiently, “Essie can speak, right? Come on. Tell us. What do you want us to do?”


    Archie and Benny understood her intentions and nodded in response. “Essie, what‘s the matter?”


    All three of them looked at Este expectantly.


    Este sensed their anticipation, so she tried hard to speak until her face flushed red, but still, no words


    came out of her mouth.


    After some time, she began to panic and felt aggrieved. Soon, her eyes reddened.


    Roxanne had been observing Este‘s expression the entire time. Seeing that, she quickly caressed


    Este‘s cheeks and apologized, “I‘m sorry, Essie. I was rushing things. Let‘s take it slow, Essie.


    Shhh… Don‘t cry. Don‘t cry.”


    Meanwhile, Archie and Benny had already found the piece that Este wanted from the pile of Lego


    pieces, and they happily showed it to her with their outstretched hands. “Essie, look! Is this what you


    wanted? We found it for you!”


    She took it from them with a sniffle before she smiled again gradually.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
