Chapter 1115


    The two of them continued discussing that matter throughout the rest of the day.


    Being the more emotional of the two, Benny simply wanted Jack to leave so Roxanne and Lucian


    would get back together


    Archie, on the other hand, was more rational and didn’t want to affect Roxanne’s career.


    However, neither of them was able to arrive at a conclusion even when school was over.


    “Archie! Benny! Look who’s there!”


    Pippa spotted Roxanne waiting at the front gate the moment they stepped out the ssroom door.


    Archie and Benny were so absorbed in their thoughts that they didn’t even notice Roxanne standing


    there until Pippa mentioned it.


    As they nced at the gate, they saw that Roxanne looked absent-minded as well.


    The look on Roxanne’s face made Archie and Benny more determined to help Lucian and Roxanne get


    back together.


    “Mommy!” Benny called out to Roxanne while running toward her.


    Having been snapped out of her train of thought, Roxanne patted him on the head before instinctively


    scanning the crowd.


    Despite having confirmed Lucian’s feelings toward her earlier that morning, Roxanne still found herself


    coming over when school was over that evening.


    She refused to give up, but sure enough, she still saw no sign of Este anywhere.


    As Archie was walking a little slower, he clearly saw Roxanne searching the crowd for Este.


    Huh. I don’t get it. Why would Mommy keep fighting with Daddy if she cares about Essie so much?


    “Let’s go home, Mommy!” Benny said softly when Archie walked up to them.


    Roxanne shed him a smile and nodded in response, but her legs refused to move.


    Maybe I should wait just a little while longer.


    Realizing her hesitation, Archie reached out to hold her hand and said, “Essie didn’te to school


    today, Mommy.”

    Naturally, that meant no one would being to pick her up.


    Roxanne froze in surprise when she realized Archie had seen right through her thoughts.


    “Come on, let’s go home!” Archie added while giving her hand a light tug.


    Having epted reality for what it was, Roxanne replied with a wry smile, “All right, let’s go.” She then


    walked hand in hand with Archie and Benny as they made their way toward her car. It wasn’t until they


    entered the car that Benny realized Roxanne was looking for Este earlier.


    After discussing it with Archie the entire day and witnessing Roxanne searching for Este, Benny


    couldn’t help but ask, “Mommy, could you give Mr. Farwell a call and ask him how Essie is doing?”


    That question caught Roxannepletely off guard and caused her to tighten her grip on the steering


    wheel “Mommy?”


    Roxanne had wanted to tell them that it wasn’t convenient for her to call Lucian, but she couldn’t bring


    herself to say that when she saw how worried they were about Este.


    After hesitating for a bit, Roxanne replied, “I’ll give him a call tonight and tell you boys about it


    tomorrow.”


    “Okay!” Seeing how Roxanne had agreed to it so easily, Benny assumed the conflict between her and


    Lucian wasn’t that serious.


    As he leaned back against his seat, however, Archie jabbed at his arm and gave him a look.


    Because of how well they knew each other, that look was all Benny needed to understand what Archie


    was trying to say.


    Mommy’s lying! She’s not going to actually make that phone call!


    Benny pursed his lips in disappointment when the sudden realization dawned upon him.


    He then remained silent throughout the rest of the ride home
