Upon seeing Este crying her eyes out and Lucian leaving all of a sudden, Roxanne clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. "Ms. Jarvis..." Even Pippa was trying to speak up for Este.


    Cassandra quickly got up and said anxiously, "I''m sorry, Ms. Jarvis, but I won''t be changing teams anymore. You should go calm Essie down!" Her eyes were filled with fear.


    All I wanted was a chance to get closer to Lucian, but the arrangement ended up making Este cry instead! If the Farwell family decides to pursue this matter, I''ll definitely be med for it! Eventually, Roxanne clenched her teeth and lowered her gaze as she gave in to the pressure. She then walked up to Este and said, "Stop crying, Essie. I won''t change teams anymore, okay?"


    Este was crying so hard that she couldn''t stop sobbing as she looked up at Roxanne.


    Roxanne felt her heart ache when she saw Este''s face all covered in snot and tears.


    As she reached out to help wipe those tears, Este simply stood there obediently and let her do it.


    Roxanne was still trying to think of a way to calm Este down when Lucian''s voice rang out from behind her. "You don''t have to force yourself if you don''t want to do this, Ms. Jarvis. Essie practically never attends ss activities like this anyway."


    Roxanne''s feelings of guilt intensified even further after hearing that.


    I want Essie to get better. She''s finally starting to adapt to being around her ssmates, and yet, she got so upset because of me...


    With that in mind, Roxanne caressed Este''s chubby cheeks as she said, "I''m sorry, Essie. I take back what I said earlier, okay?"


    Este nodded and let go of Lucian''s hand before throwing herself into Roxanne''s embrace.


    Roxanne felt her heart soften up even further when she held Este in her arms.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    "Now that the grouping issue has been resolved, let us start discussing the change in the plot!" Pippa suggested while breathing a sigh of relief.


    Everyone agreed and began discussing among themselves.


    Roxanne stood up and led Este back toward her seat.


    Archie and Benny, who were sharing a chair, quickly got up and let Este have it when they saw hering.


    Este smiled at them with her nose still red as she sat down next to Roxanne.


    Roxanne had a conflicted feeling in her heart as she watched Pippa, hoping that they could change the plot for Sleeping Beauty.


    "As you may have noticed, we have chosen fairy tales with different themes for this activity. The reason we chose these fairy tales was to help the kids understand the different rtionships between people," Pippa exined with a friendly smile.


    She then nced at Roxanne and Lucian as she added, "Romantic rtionships are no exception."


    Roxanne felt her heart sink a little when she heard that.


    "As such, we do not n on making any changes to the plots of these fairy tales. Is there any parent who objects to this decision?"


    Naturally, no one else had any objections.


    Roxanne was the only one with an awkward look on her face.


    If they don''t change the plot, then Lucian and I will have to share a kiss at the end of the story!


    She instinctively nced at Lucian at the thought of that, only to meet his unfathomable gaze at the same time.


    The two of them locked eyes for a few seconds before Roxanne averted her gaze and tried to look natural.
