Encounters and Unspoken Tensions

The boys thought they guessed it right and stopped being angry. Instead, they comforted Roxanne, “Mommy, if you don’t want to see Mr. Farwell, then don’t. We will take good care of Essie!”

Since Lucian was cruel enough to leave the boys and Roxanne behind, they didn’t want to see him either.

Proud of her two sons, Roxanne smiled gently and said, “I know you will. I saw.”

When the boys heard her, they took the credit proudly.

The atmosphere in the car became lively.

Roxanne’s mood also became relaxed. She would respond to the boys patiently no matter what they said to her.

After they got home, Roxanne even cooked with Lysa, which was considered a rare occasion, and prepared a sumptuous dinner for the children.

After dinner, Roxanne played with them for a while. Then, she returned to her room when the boys were fast asleep.

Her emotions ran wild when she thought of the look on Estella’s face when she saw her in the afternoon.

When Estella came to see me before, she was full of joy.
