    Chapter 1054 Mindful of Your Words


    Upon realizing Roxanne didn’t feel any animosity towards her, Este leaped into her arms happily.


    Smiling, Roxanne wrapped her arms around Este and asked gently, “Why are you with Archie and


    Benny?”


    Hearing her question, Archie and Benny exchanged a sheepish nce before directing their gaze


    toward Este.


    Should we let Essie tell Mommy we sneaked her out, or should we tell her ourselves? It has been a


    while since Mommy and Essiest met. She won’t get mad at Essie!


    Este didn’t disappoint them, for she quickly revealed, “Archie and Benny came to visit me. I wanted


    to visit you, so I asked them to bring me here!” Her voice sounded smug.


    Luckily, I followed them back. Otherwise, there is no telling when I’ll get to meet Ms. Jarvis! Roxanne


    stiffened when she heard Este’s answer.


    Essie ran away from home with Archie and Benny. If Lucian finds out about it, how should I exin it to


    him? He’ll most probably assume the boys persuaded Essie to follow them back to my house.


    With that thought in mind, she released her hold on Este slowly. Panic shed across Este’s face.


    “Ms. Jarvis, don’t get mad!” Roxanne patted her headfortingly and exined, “I have to inform


    your dad that you’re here. Otherwise, he’ll be concerned.”


    Este muttered reluctantly, “I don’t want Daddy…”


    Daddy was the one who refused to let me see Ms. Jarvis, Archie, and Benny! Upon seeing Este’s


    reaction at the mention of her dad, Roxanne felt troubled.


    She could finally understand Sonya and Aubree’s feelings. Este had a much stronger attachment to


    her than she did to Lucian. Therefore, it was understandable that they did not want the little girl to


    continue getting in touch with Roxanne.


    Roxanne even came to the conclusion that they were correct, as Este would soon be someone else’s


    daughter. As a mother herself, she wouldn’t want her child to have a close rtionship with another


    woman.


    However, Roxanne couldn’t bring herself to ignore Este, especially when thetter was pouting


    pitifully. “Be good. I’ll talk to your daddy nicely,” she said and forced out a smile.


    Roxanne stood up to make a call to Lucian.


    She had just scrolled through her contacts and found Lucian’s number when the doorbell rang.


    Hearing that, Roxanne paused in her tracks.

    Este clung to Roxanne’s leg like a frightened little animal and hid behind her.


    She thought Lucian was here to bring her back home.


    Roxanne gave her head a reassuring pat and went to answer the door.


    The sight of the neer caused them to nch in shock.


    Este was so flustered that she grasped the edge of Roxanne’s clothes tightly, desperately wanting to


    conceal herselfpletely behind Roxanne.


    Archie and Benny pursed their lips and went to join Roxanne at the door.


    Sonya’s lips twisted mockingly as she observed their actions. She then directed her gaze toward


    Roxanne. “Catalina informed me that your boys had sneaked Essie out of the house, so I came here to


    verify if it was true. Turns out Essie is indeed at your house.”


    Roxanne furrowed her brows and refuted, “Archie and Benny simply brought Essie back here so that


    they could y together. They are just children, so please be mindful of your words.”


    iming that the kids “sneaked” Este out of her house was too serious an usation.


    Sonya pinned her with a withering stare. “Why? Did I say anything wrong?”
