Chapter 174


    Mission To Remarry


    The next morning, Roxanne and the three kids had breakfast together


    Este sat beside her quictly and allowed the boys to feed her. Fler cheeks pulled up adorably as


    though she were a chipmunk.


    Roxanne felt her heart sofien at the sight of the obedient little girl. She also felt bad for her.


    I believe Essie wanted to talkst night.


    With that thought in mind, she gazed at Este affectionately. “Essie, do you want some buns?”


    Este nodded eagerly.


    Roxanne picked up a bun but didn‘t ce it on Este‘s te. She said, “If you want, tell me in words.”


    Este blinked, seemingly stumped by her request.


    Roxanne‘s brows furrowed in disappointment. “If you don‘t talk, I might not understand what you want.


    That way, I’ll worry that I can‘t take care of


    you. Essie, can you get used to talking? Don‘t worry, I‘ll help you. We can do it slowly.”


    Hearing her words, Archie and Benny ced their forks down. “Let‘s do it together! We want to hear


    Essie talk, too!“.


    As their expectant gazes fell on Este, she nced at each and every one of them. Her fists balled up


    as she forced herself to grunt, “Mm!”


    Roxanne and the boys were pleasantly delighted by her soft and adorable voice. Their eyes lit up in


    surprise.


    I was just trying my luck and didn‘t expect Este to talk for real!


    Despite wanting more, Roxanne knew she shouldn‘t be impatient. She stroked Este‘s hair adoringly


    before cing the bun on her te.


    Estetio n to learn that she could tak, 100. She was still bearing joviully when Ruxanne opedihemi o


    llie kindergarten


    “Essie, youre in a jovial mood today, huh?” l‘ippa romarked when she saw Exp‘s precious grin.


    Este beamed at her and nodded happily,


    Benny chimed in, “We‘re helping her to learn how to talk!”


    Pippa assumed they were joking around. After all, she had taught Este for some ume but never


    heard Esto talk.


    However, Archie and Benny took the matter seriously. They were even discussing how to push Este


    to talk during ss.


    In between sses, Este went to them as usual so they could y together.


    Nevertheless, Archie wasn‘t his usual self. He frowned and demanded, “What do you want from us?”


    Puzzled, Este whipped her head around to look at Benny.


    I want to y with Archie and Benny! We y together every day, right?


    Benny added sternly, “Hurry up and tell us what you want. Archie and I are busy!”


    Both of them were obviously treating her coldly. Este recalled how she followed them everywhere


    back when they first came and how they ignored her. She really enjoyed ying with them recently, so


    she grew flustered and grabbed the pencil and paper on Benny‘s table so she could write her thoughts


    out.


    To her surprise, Archie pocketed the pencil. “Talk to us. Otherwise, we won‘t know what you mean.”


    Este gripped the corner of the desk sadly.


    “Didn‘t you promise Mommy this morning that you‘ll learn how to talk slowly?” Benny gazed at her. “If


    you can‘t talk, you can call our names.


    We‘ve been calling your name, Essie, but you‘ve never said our names!”


    Este parted her lips but nothing came out of her mouth. She grew anxious and was about to burst


    into tears.


    Seeing that, Archie and Benny gave her the pencil instead of forcing her to talk.

    However, for the next few days, the two boys grew distant from her at home and at the kindergarten.


    Every time Este came to them, Benny would huff angrily, “We treated you well, but you wouldn‘t even


    call our names! We‘re going to ignore you!”


    Este was devastated.
