Chapter 696


    Chapter 696 You Still Remember Me


    When Roxanne checked her phone and saw that it was noon, she realized she


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    had forgotten to discuss lunch with Archie and Benny when she left earlier.


    “Excuse me, I need to make a phone call,” Roxanne said apologetically as she


    stood up.


    Jack wasn’t sure what she was up to, but he didn’t bother to ask her about it. He


    simply nodded in response and watched as she made her way to a quiet corner


    of the restaurant.


    Archie and Benny were watching TV with Este at home when they heard the


    phone ringing.


    Knowing that their mother was the only one who would call thatndline, they


    immediately rushed over to answer the phone.


    “When are youing back, Mommy? Essie came over to y! We’re keeping


    herpany right now!” Benny asked while ncing at Este.


    He then passed the phone over to Este and motioned at her to say


    something.


    “Hi, Ms. Jarvis!” Este called out with a wide grin on her face.


    Roxanne’s heart melted when she heard Este’s adorable voice. “Hi, Essie!


    What brings you here today?”


    “You were drenched in the rain yesterday. I was worried that you might get sick,


    so I came over to check on you!” Este replied.


    “I’m sorry, Essie, but I probably won’t be back for a while. I’ll have someone else


    bring you some food, okay?” Roxanne said apologetically.


    “Okay!” Este answered with a nod.


    Roxanne then told Archie and Benny to take good care of Este before


    hanging up the phone. After that, she prayed that Madilyn wouldn’t be too busy


    as she dialed her number.


    “What’s up, Roxanne?” Madilyn answered the phone rather quickly.


    “Are you home?” Roxanne asked.


    Madilyn let out a huge sigh as she replied, “Of course I am! It wasn’t easy


    getting a few days off work, you know?”


    She had pestered the director endlessly for days just to get a break from work.


    Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Madilyn was home. “I’m


    outside at the moment. Archie, Benny, and Este are by themselves at my


    house. I didn’t have time to prepare lunch for them today, so could you bring


    them some food when you make lunchter?”


    Naturally, Madilyn agreed to her request since she cared deeply about the three


    kids.


    However, she wasn’t about to go through the trouble of cooking on her day off.


    After giving it some thought, Madilyn decided to just order takeout for herself


    and the kids. She soon showed up outside Roxanne’s house with the bags of


    food.


    The kids made sure to check the inte to confirm it was her before opening


    the door.


    “Hi, Aunt Madilyn!” Benny’s eyes lit up with excitement when he saw the food in


    her hands.


    As she wasn’t sure what the kids liked, she decided to y it safe and went with


    fried chicken and hamburgers.


    Sure enough, those happened to be Benny’s favorites.


    “Your mommy couldn’t make it home in time, so she had me bring you kids


    lunch. You are allowed to have deep-fried stuff, right?” Madilyn said as she


    ced the food on the dining table.


    Her gaze soon fell upon Este, who was sitting in a corner of the living room.


    As she had only seen Este once, she didn’t remember much about the little


    girl.


    Huh? Is it just me, or does this girl kind of resemble Roxanne in some way?


    “You’re Este, right? Do you remember me?” Madilyn asked as she stepped


    forward to take a closer look at her.


    Este blinked a couple of times before nodding and replying, “Yes, I do! It’s


    nice to see you again!”
