    Chapter 1060 Refusing to Transfer Schools


    Roxanne was dumbfounded since she did not expect Lucian to agree to their request so easily. She


    finally regained her senses when Este came running toward her, sobbing after her father set her


    down on the floor.


    “Ms. Jarvis…” The girl quickly wrapped her arms around Roxanne’s thigh. After caressing Este’s


    head, Roxanne looked up at Lucian, who then nodded indifferently at her and nced at the three


    children before heading to his car.


    Only after watching Lucian drive away did Roxanne take the children into the living room. “You two look


    after Essie. I need to make a phone call,” instructed Roxanne.


    Archie and Benny immediately nodded in response and did their best tofort Este while Roxanne


    hurried into a corner to call Jack, who did not take long to answer.


    “What’s up, Ms. Jarvis?” inquired Jack.


    “Sorry, but I’m afraid I’ll have to take another rain check,” replied Roxanne apologetically.


    ording to their schedule, the two were supposed to provide medical consultation at a nursing home


    that afternoon, but because of how upset Este was, Roxanne could not leave.


    In response, Jack chuckled unconcernedly. “It’s okay; we can handle things there without you. What I’m


    more worried about is you. Are you sick?”


    As soon as Jack finished his sentence, he could vaguely hear crying from the other end of the line.


    Are the boys the ones who are sick? Jack furrowed his eyebrows confusedly.


    “I’m fine. I just… suddenly have a private matter to tend to,” answered Roxanne after ncing at the


    bawling Este.


    Jack did not overthink the situation and simply assumed that he guessed correctly. “I’ll let you get back


    to your private matter then.”


    After Roxanne thanked Jack gratefully, the two ended the phone call without saying anything else.


    Then, Roxanne hurried back to the children.

    “Mommy, we couldn’t get Essie to stop crying.” Benny had disappointment written all over his face.


    After patting the boy’s head, Roxanne lowered herself to pick up Este. “It’s okay now, Essie. You


    have Archie, Benny, and me here.”


    As if she felt a sense of security in Roxanne’s arms, Este finally opened her tear-filled eyes to look at


    the woman.


    Roxanne quickly patted Este on the back when she sensed a change in the girl’s emotion, trying to


    calm her down so she wouldn’t cry too hard.


    “I d-don’t want to transfer schools!” uttered Este, choking on her tears.


    Roxanne was relieved to hear Este speak but quickly became distressed because of what the girl


    said.


    Even though Roxanne knew what Este wanted, there was nothing she could do about it.


    “Ms. Jarvis… I want you, Ms. Jarvis…” voiced Este as she continued to sob.


    Immediately, Roxanne responded, “I’m here. I’m here with you.”


    The two boys then climbed up the couch and carefully tugged Este’s sleeve. “We’re here too, so you


    don’t have to cry anymore.”


    “I…” Roxanne could not bear to see Este cry again, so she decided to tell a white lie to appease the


    girl. “I’ll speak to your father about it.”


    “I want you to be my Mommy,” added the teary-eyed Este.


    Gulping, Roxanne dared not promise Este that.


    However, her heart could not help but break a little every time she heard the girl sob.


    Only after a while did Roxanne respond, “I’ll always like you no matter what our rtionship is. Would


    you dislike me if I couldn’t be your mother, Essie?”
