Chapter 887 Is Essie Okay
Thinking of that, the boys felt sorry for Este.
“s, Daddy doesn’t allow us to visit her,” Benny grumbled in a piping voice.
Yet, his brother refuted almost immediately, “No. It’s not that he doesn’t allow us to see her.”
Benny looked at his brother in puzzlement upon hearing that.
After ncing in the direction of the kitchen, Archie expounded dejectedly, “Daddy just doesn’t want
Mommy to visit Essie.”
His words left Benny stunned for a moment. As realization dawned on thetter, his expression
instantly changed.
I wonder what happened to Daddy and Mommy. Is he still angry about what happened yesterday? But
that’s just a trivial matter… Even Essie has forgiven Mommy.
Meanwhile, Roxanne, who was in the kitchen, felt uneasy as well.
Earlier, when she was on the phone with Lucian, she overheard the sound of Este’s sobs.
Este was wailing miserably, and Roxanne even heard the little one uttering her name.
At that moment, Roxanne was racked with guilt and full of remorse for the decision she had made.
If I had known this beforehand, I would’ve rushed to her and stayed by her side. I wouldn’t even
hesitate. s, I didn’t know Lucian would stop me from seeing Essie. She matters more to me than
anything else in the world. Those medicines are nothingpared to her…Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
“Mommy, what’s that smell?” Archie and Benny asked as they walked toward Roxanne.
The boys were puzzled to detect a strange smell in the air.
As the unpleasant smell seemed to be wafting from a pot, the boys stood on their tiptoes to take a look.
However, they were too short to look into the pot.
As the boys’ voices pulled Roxanne out of her stupor, she lowered her gaze to check the ingredients in
the pot.
Unfortunately, everything in the pot was fully ckened and burnt. Even the air was permeated with the
odor of burnt food.
Gosh! I’ve been thinking about Essie all this while and forgotten that I’m cooking!
Roxanne hurriedly turned off the stove. She looked apologetic as she looked downward at Archie and
Benny. “Sorry, Mommy was lost in thought, and the food got burned. We shall head out for lunch.”
After that, she turned around and took off her apron.
Eventually, the three of them went to a restaurant nearby their house.
As the trio was still worried about Este, they did not have much appetite. They had something light
for lunch and returned home right after.
“Mommy, are you tired?” Archie and Benny asked as they noticed how absent-minded their mother
was.
“Why don’t you go upstairs to get some rest?” one of the boys suggested with great concern.
Roxanne knitted her brows when she heard that. Although she was indeed tired, she could not help but
worry about leaving the children all by themselves.
“Don’t worry, Mommy. We’ll take good care of ourselves!” the boys reassured with a loveable smile.
As Roxanne massaged the bridge of her nose, she uttered softly, “All right. Mommy will head upstairs
to get some rest. Be good, and stay right here, okay?”
In truth, she felt totally exhausted after what had happened.
After the boys nodded obediently at her in response, she turned around and went upstairs.
Her mind was mired in chaos as she locked herself in the bedroom.
As she did not feel sleepy, she stared nkly into space while sitting on the bed.
However, it wasn’t long before she got up and strode toward the study. She thought staying busy with
work could keep her out of her inner turmoil.
Meanwhile, the little ones downstairs kept quiet until there was no rustling sounding from upstairs.
“Archie, let’s head to Daddy’s house,” Benny suggested in a low voice.
The little boy looked immensely serious, and his eyes sparkled with anticipation as he spoke.
Mommy couldn’t even concentrate while cooking. She was also absent-minded when we were eating
just now. I’m sure Mommy is very worried about Essie. Since Daddy won’t allow Mommy to visit her,
the two of us can go, no? We can tell Mommy about Essie’s condition after the visit!
