    Chapter 902 I Will Bring You Camping


    Roxanne didn’t want to tarry after dinner, so she took her leave with Archie and Benny.


    “Can’t you y with me for a while longer, Ms. Jarvis?”


    Este clutched at the hem of her shirt with all the reluctance in the world.


    Leaning down, Roxanne stroked her head and cajoled gently, “It’ste, so I’ve got to go home.”


    After saying that, she added in a moment of weakness at the sight of Este’s reluctant expression, “I’ll


    come and keep youpany another day.”


    She merely wanted tofort the little girl, but thetter unexpectedly took it seriously.


    “When will that be?” Este gazed at her pitifully with solemnity written all over her face.


    Upon hearing that, Roxanne was inexorably stunned for a while.


    When will that be?


    On instinct, she lifted her eyes an

    In that instant, Roxanne couldn’t quite bring herself to tell Este the truth as she stared into her


    hopeful gaze.


    Meanwhile, Este continued in utter ignorance, “Archie and Benny told me that you often bring them


    out to have fun. Can I tag along, Ms. Jarvis?”


    Roxanne’s eyes flickered, and she

    Back when they were abroad, Roxanne always brought them camping with her colleagues from the

    At that, the light in Este’s eyes dimmed, and she dipped her eyes in disappointment.


    Helplessness deluged Roxanne as she eyed them both. She had no other choice but to suppress the


    disgruntlement within her and first coax Este.


    “I promise I’ll bring you camping with Archie and Benny next week.”


    It wasn’t until then that Este raised her head once more. But still, skepticism lingered in her eyes.


    Archie and Benny hurriedly chimed in, “Mommy never lies!”


    Este had always trusted them unconditionally, so the smile entered her eyes again since they had


    said as much.


    Bobbing her head obediently, she held her little finger out at Roxanne.


    Roxanne was startled for a moment, not quite sure what Este wanted to do.


    “A pinky promise,” Este urged in her cute voice.


    At that, understanding dawned upon Roxanne. She found it rather amusing, yet her heart melted at the


    same time.
