Chapter 1140


    “You''re speaking nonsense!”


    Este got up from the floor and furiously pushed the kid who hadst spoke.


    Amused at her courage to fight back, the other kids began running their mouths off even more.


    The girl whom Este pushed stepped forward and shoved her in return.


    “Did | say anything wrong? You''re just a mute! If we hadn’t yed with you today, would you have spoken on your own? Adults


    hate kids who can’t speak, Little Mute!” After saying that, the girl raised her arm in fury and yelled, “How dare you push me! Not


    even my mommy and daddy have ever hit me.”


    Este was no match for that girl in terms of strength. Not only that, there were lots of kids watching them from the side.


    Despite her anger, Este couldn’t help but feel scared at the sight of the girl lifting her arm. In her helplessness, she nced at


    Pam.


    If Ms. Ward was here, she would surelye here and help me


    Unfortunately, Pam was busy dealing with the wailing kid, and she couldn’t see what was going on since Este was encircled


    by the children.


    As the girl’s hand was about to fall on Este, thetter closed her eyes out of reflex. At that moment, she missed Archie and


    Benny dearly.


    “What are you doing?”


    Just as despair filled Este, Roxanne pushed the ssroom door open and strode in.


    She had been watching from the outside for quite a while and finally realized Este was being bullied.


    She had thought that the teacher would intervene and help Este, but it seemed that Pam was unaware of what was going


    on atall.


    Seeing that Este was about to get hit, Roxanne barged in in a panic and hurried over to the group of children


    At the sudden arrival of an adult, the children were shocked.


    The girl who had her arm raised stepped backward in fright. She swiftly hid her hand behind her back, ncing at Roxanne


    nervously.


    These kids were the best at pretending to be nice and obedient in front of adults.


    “Miss, you’ve misunderstood. She pushed me first...” the girl mumbled with an aggrieved expression.


    Roxanne was bewildered to see the girl acting so innocently. If she hadn’t witnessed the entire situation. earlier, she would have


    been fooled.


    Nevertheless, she wasn’t in the mood to scold the girl. She crouched down instead and pulled Este into her arms.


    Este was clearly terrified, as she couldn’t stop trembling.


    “Don''t be scared, Essie. You''re okay now,” Roxanneforted Este while stroking her head.


    Upon hearing her voice, Este looked up cautiously


    Her face crumpled when she saw that it was Roxanne. She sniffled loudly, tears welling up in her big eyes.

    Having been triggered by the children’s words earlier, Este wrapped her arm around Roxanne’s neck and choked out,


    “Mommy...”


    That word made Roxanne’s heart skip a beat, and she subconsciously tightened her hold around Este.


    She knew very well that she did not deserve that title, but she could more or less guess what the children had been talking about


    earlier from the way their mouths moved.


    One of the biggest reasons they bullied Este was that they thought she didn’t have a mother.


    That thought pained Roxanne. In the end, she did not refute Este’s way of addressing her.
