Chapter 1070 Do Not Do Anything Bad

“It’s our fault, Mommy. We didn’t keep a close eye on Essie.” The boys had already guessed the truth when their

mother questioned them. Even though Estella had admitted to the offense, they still wanted to take the blame for

her mistake. Roxanne did not know what to say as she watched the three of them protect each other.

I would’ve been contended to see them caring for each other in another situation, but they’re covering for each

other at the wrong time now. What do I do… Moments later, she suppressed her emotions and placed Estella on

her thighs. “Tell me the truth, Essie. Did you do this by yourself or with the boys?”

As Estella had learned that Roxanne disliked dishonest children, she, of course, wasn’t going to lie. Besides, she

never wanted to drag the brothers down with her either.

“I-I did it by myself…” she choked out. Roxanne nodded and wiped the girl’s tears away. “Why did you do it?” Even

though the girl was crying intensely, she still answered the question, “Because I don’t like Mr. Damaris.”

It was the justification Roxanne expected but didn’t want to hear.

“When Mr. Damaris gifted you flowers, you accepted it. But when Daddy did it, you tried to return it to him. Also,

you always argue with Daddy and rarely smile at him. Yet, you keep smiling at Mr. Damaris…” Estella listed

everything she despised about Jack.

The more Roxanne listened to the girl, the lower her heart sank. I have no clue Essie is capable of such fierce

jealousy at a young age, and it’s all because she’s very attached to me…

Estella tugged at Roxanne’s shirt pitifully and added, “I only want you to be with Daddy and become my mommy!

Please don’t hate me, Ms. Jarvis!”

Feeling a little dumbstruck, Roxanne patted the girl’s head. She’s too attached to me.

“It’s our fault, Mommy! If we hadn’t spoken badly about Mr. Damaris, Essie wouldn’t have had a prejudice against

him!” Archie and Benny pleaded on Estella’s behalf.

Roxanne sighed. “You two did do something wrong, but this has nothing to do with either of you.” The brothers

knitted their eyebrows and stared at their mother. They didn’t want Estella to be punished.

Roxanne turned to look at Estella, whose face was wet with tears. “I know what you’re thinking, but this isn’t right.

No matter how much you like or dislike someone, you can’t touch their stuff just because you want to. Destroying

other people’s property is even worse. Do you understand?”

Estella hiccupped and nodded obediently.

Then Roxanne turned to the boys. “As for you two…”

Archie and Benny straightened up.

“I know you care for Essie, but you can’t always cover for her. You must set good examples for her to follow. Don’t

do anything bad, and don’t speak ill of others behind their backs,” Roxanne advised.

The brothers bobbed their heads and said, “We know what we did wrong now. It won’t happen again!”

Roxanne nodded and removed Estella from her embrace. “Now that you three know your mistakes, it’s time to

accept your punishments.”
