    Chapter 820 Console Essie


    For a moment, Roxanne did not know how to respond to Este’s deration of love. | mean, | like Essie too, but | have never


    entertained the thoughts of bing her mother.


    After all, she has her own biological mother. If anything, children would probably prefer their biological parents more...


    Agood example will be Archie and Benny. Although they don’t know the truth of their births yet, their attitude toward Lucian is


    clearly different from the rest.


    “You can’t?” Having received no answer from Roxanne, Este lowered her eyes in disappointment and despair.


    Roxanne’s heart ached when she saw the girl''s disappointment, but there was nothing she could do besides giving her a


    merciless rejection. Patiently, she exined to the girl, “Essie, you''ll have your own mommy, and once you have your mommy,


    you''ll find out that liking mommy and liking me don’t feel the same.”


    Este tightened her fists stubbornly and looked at Roxanne with tearful eyes. “I only like Ms. Jarvis!”


    “You won’t—” Roxanne said in resignation when she saw Este’s tears.


    However, before she could finish her sentence, the girl gave her a heart wrenching look.


    Her gaze seemed as though it was capable of seeing through people’s souls, and that made Roxanne stiffen.


    In the next second, Este let go of her shirt and ran outside.


    “Essie!” Roxanne cried out when she returned to her senses. Right as she was about to run after the girl, the man beside her


    had already sped off after her.


    Staring at Lucian’s back, Roxanne ran for two steps, then stopped hesitantly.


    Essie dashed off because of me. If she sees me again, will she feel worse? Should |... not show up around her for a while for


    now?


    The boys had never thought that things would turn out this way either. They froze for a few seconds before they recollected


    themselves.


    When they saw their mother’s pale face, they decided not to go after Este. Instead, they went to their mother’s side silently


    and muttered, “Mommy...”


    They could see that their mother seemed sad as well, but they did not know how to console her. They held their tongues after


    that and merely kept herpany at the side.


    Roxanne gradually came back to her senses a whileter. She lowered her gaze to look at the boys and whispered, “Should | not


    have rejected Essie just now?”Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The boys shared a look, but neither knew what to reply to her.


    If Mommy hasn''t epted Daddy, then it’s nothing unusual for her to reject Essie. But who knew Essie would be that


    disappointed and run out without a word?


    Truth be told, Roxanne was not expecting an answer from them. After saying that, she hung her head in silence as waves of


    panic and frustration washed over her.


    She could see that Este was hoping for a mother with the way she had raised that sudden question.


    She wondered how Este’s mother could bear to abandon the girl.


    Roxanne was already distressed enough when Este had gone missing previously.


    She''s not familiar with her surroundings. | wonder if she''ll lose her way like she did thest time.


    Archie and Benny could see the anxiety on their mother’s face. They consoled her, “Don’t worry, Mommy. Mr. Farwell will surely


    find Essie.”


    Roxanne’s eyes flicked toward the boys, and she forced a smile.


    “We''ll help youfort Essie once Mr. Farwell is back with her.”


    To distract their mother, the boys changed the topic back to the earlier phone call. “It’s gettingte. Didn’t you promise to meet


    Mr. Damaris? If you don’t leave now, you''re going to bete.”
