Chapter 1137


    Roxanne was surprised by her son’s words.


    She knew they had always been very sensible and had always taken good care of Este.


    However, what she didn’t expect was that they had been thinking about this even more than she did.


    Benny chimed in sweetly, “Mommy, please talk to Mr. Farwell about this. We’re worried that Essie might


    get bullied, and we won’t be there to protect her.”


    Roxanne felt her chest tighten at the mention of Este being bullied.

    She recalled the incident when Este had been bullied by her ssmates when Archie and Benny first


    entered the ssroom.


    Back then, the boys had stepped forward to protect Este and helped her to smoothen things over


    with her ssmates.


    However, now that Este was in a new kindergarten, she no longer had any ymates she was


    familiar with. Roxanne was worried that if Archie and Benny weren’t beside Este, the past would


    repeat itself.


    There’s a possibility that it would be just like what the boys said. Este would beostracized by the


    other kids.


    Thinking about this, Roxanne relented and said, “All right, I’ll have a chat with Mr. Farwell regarding this


    soon. That being said, you guys need to prepare yourselves to transfer to another kindergarten.”


    The boys’ eyes lit up.


    Mommy’s willing to talk to Daddy! It doesn’t matter what they’ll be talking about. At the very least, this


    will end the silent war they’re waging against each other. Besides, we’re the ones who brought up the


    idea of transferring kindergartens, anyway This way, we’ll be able to keep Essie’s condition from


    deteriorating further


    With that thought in mind, the boys agreed to it without hesitation.


    Roxanne shed a smile and tousled the boys’ hair. “It’s gettingte now. Get some rest.”


    Since they had achieved their goals, the boys nodded at her obediently in response.


    As Roxanne walked out of the boys’ room, words from their conversation earlier kept reying in her


    mind, making her feel slightly guilty.


    She had always thought that matters between adults should be kept between adults and children


    should not be involved in them.


    However, because of her rtionship with Lucian, all three children had their lives affected in some


    way or the other.


    The case was especially true for Este, whose condition kept rpsing.


    At the end of the day, Roxanne reckoned this was all because of her determination not being strong


    enough


    All she wanted at first was to avoid Lucian, but somewhere down the line, she got involved with him


    again


    instead.


    She wanted nothing more than to take care of Este, but because of her rtionship with Lucian, she


    had no choice but to treat the little girl indifferently.


    Now that she thought about it, Archie’s and Benny’s words reminded her of something


    Since I’m involved with Essie now, and her condition is affected because of me, I should be firm with


    my decision. No matter what my rtionship with Lucian is, I should prioritize Essie’s condition. At the


    very least, I should make sure her condition is stabilized. This way, I will not have any regrets.


    Roxanne headed back to her room and hesitantly drew up Lucian’s number from her phone.


    She hadn’t contacted him ever since they fought that day.


    Naturally, Lucian did not take the initiative to contact her either.


    Roxanne tapped into his contact detail and hesitated.


    Even though all she needed to do was to tap her finger down on her screen, she couldn’t bring herself


    to do it.


    After all, their interactionst time had ended on really bad terms.


    Roxanne had no idea how to start the conversation with him.


    After hesitating for a while more, she nced at the time and saw that it was near midnight.


    Lucian should already be asleep at this time, right?


    Taking that into ount, Roxanne eventually put her phone away.


    Now that I think about it, there’s no need for me to go through Lucian in order to know about Essie’s


    condition. I can always find out which kindergarten Essie goes to and go check on her during her


    recess. It’ll be even better


    if I can see that she’s getting along well with the other children so that I won’t be so worried.


    That was thest thought that surfaced in Roxanne’s mind as she fell asleep.
