    Chapter 1139


    Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief.


    She could see that although Este was a bit out of ce, the other children approached her enthusiastically and yed with


    her.


    Yet before she could feel totally at ease, she saw Este letting out a yelp.


    The children who were skipping around also halted their actions one by one.


    Feeling her heart tighten, Roxanne instinctively looked in Pam’s direction


    Something was obviously wrong with Este, and Pam could probably see that from where she was standing


    However, there was a child who wouldn''t stop crying next to Pam. Although she did notice a smallmotion over here, she


    was upied with coaxing the child beside her


    Left with no choice, Roxanne turned back to Este and observed her worriedly.


    The girl hung her head low as she massaged her hand on herp.


    Roxanne could only see Este’s actions vaguely from her spot, but she could guess that thetter was hurt.


    Upon realizing that, Roxanne felt a little distressed. Nevertheless, she did not overthink it and assured the other kids had just


    hurt Este identally.


    Sadly, the actual situation in the ssroom was different from her assumption.


    An aggrieved Este rubbed her injured hand with pursed lips, looking evidently upset.


    Because of her behavior on the first day of school, her ssmates deemed her a weirdo.


    Este couldn''t be bothered to y with them as well, so she barely spoke in the past two days


    As a result, her ssmates started calling her a mute and a weirdo. They tried all sorts of antics in an attempt to make her speak


    and regarded her as a joke.


    The more they did that, the more resistant Este felt toward them.


    She did not expect them to treat her even worse on this day.


    Right after ss ended, a group of children surrounded Este and began singing a rhyme they made up while moving around


    her in circles.


    When Este tried to cover her ears, a little girl stepped on her hand.


    “Wow, she really is a mute!” eximed the girl upon seeing how Este remained silent even when she was hurt.


    The other kids immediately chimed in in agreement.


    Este hung her head low and couldn''t help but feel sad.


    | miss Archie and Benny. If they were here, they would definitely protect me


    “Hey, say something. It’s not like we’re going to do anything bad to you,” another girl said, even giving Este a shove.


    Caught off guard, Este staggered and wobbled for a while before regaining her bnce.


    | don’t want to speak to these mean kids!


    “Why did you transfer here if you don’t like this ce? Do you think we like you?”


    “Go to a special needs kindergarten if you’re mute. Why did you evene here?”Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    “| heard she has no mommy. No wonder she’s so weird.”


    The kids chattered on while standing around Este, throwing insults at her.


    Este had ignored them with her lips tightly pursed.


    Yet at the mention of her mother, she suddenly lifted her head with anger written all over her face.


    “| have a mommy!”


    Her sudden outburst stunned the children, but they soon regained their senses and retorted at her more. aggressively.


    “That’s not your mommy. She’s your stepmom! | heard stepmoms are the meanest.”


    “Your mommy probably abandoned you because you don’t speak. Who would like a mute?”


    The topic of mother was a sensitive matter to Este. When she heard the other kids iming she was abandoned, her face


    started to turn sour.
