Chapter 1120
Aubree called Lucian when it was almost Este’s dismissal time and requested to pick the little girl up
from
school.
Lucian did not give it too much thought and assented to it as he thought there wouldn’t be a problem
since the two were getting along fine earlier that morning.
Ever since Este got spooked out in ss the other time, her ssmates started to see her as a
weirdo.
For the entire day, many of her ssmates shot her a look of disgust.
Because of that, Este did not want to y with them too.
The arduous day at school made her miss Archie and Benny even more, and she was extra dejected
after
school.
When the little girl followed behind the teacher and saw the person waiting for her at the entrance, her
face immediately fell.
“Essie!”
Aubree, not noticing the expression on the little girl’s face, went up to her warmly.
Pam politely greeted Aubree and took the initiative to share Este’s performance in school. “Essie
is a good girl in ss today. It’s just that she’s not very familiar with the other children and so she isn’t
very enthusiastic during games. But I’m sure she’ll do better after a few days.”
Hearing that, Aubree bobbed her head in acknowledgment. “Thank you so much.”
Pam quickly stered a smile on her face. “It’s what I should do. The credit should go to her parents
for bringing her up well.”
Only after exchanging a few pleasantries with Pam did Aubree recollect that she had yet to finish
her task -to fetch Este back home.
By then, the little girl was so hungry that her tummy had gone t, and her gloomy mood became
worse than before.
Aubree bade goodbye to Pam apologetically and brought Este into the car.
“Ms. Yaxley says you’re not enthusiastic during games. Is it because you don’t like the other kids in
ss?”
Este’s behavior that morning had probably given Aubree the illusion that she could converse with the
little girl casually.
“I know you want to y with those two boys, but they can’t possiblye over to apany you.
That’s why you have to try to make new friends soon.”
As soon as Aubree finished speaking, Este blew her top off andshed out, “I don’t want to!”
Archie and Benny wille to visit me! I will still y with them in the future! I don’t need new friends!
Aubree was taken aback by Este’s attitude. “I’m saying it for your own good. You will only get well if
you make more friends.”
“I am not sick!” Este retorted.
it was only then Aubree realized she had said the wrong thing. “I don’t mean it that way. I merely
thought…”
She wanted to make things right again, yet did not know how to continue.
After all, that was exactly what she meant.
It was just that she had forgotten to cover it up.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. Can you forgive me, Essie?” Aubree carefully apologized after a
short pause.
Sadly, Este did not bother to give her any form of response.
Aubree was undoubtedly in deep regret.
It had not been easy for her to stop Este from ignoring her. Yet now, their rtionship had returned to
square one because of her wrong choice of words.
On their way home, Aubree tried her best to salvage the situation. Despite her umpteen attempts at
exining herself, she failed to garner a response from the little girl again.

As the car slowly rolled up at the Farwell residence’s entrance, Aubree felt an inexplicable sense of
remorse surge within her.
She recalled how Lucian said himself just that morning that her rtionship with Este had improved.
Hence, she did not want him to see how things were between her and the little girl now.
Unfortunately, Este had absolutely no intention of cooperating with her and strode into the house with
her bag.
Lucian had just returned home from work as well. The minute he saw Este walking in, he noticed the
expression on her face.
“What’s wrong?” Lucian asked concernedly as his brows knitted into one line.
Este, however, only pursed her lips and nced at him silently. Without spouting a word, she headed
upstairs with her bag.
