Chapter 173 We Can Take It Slowly

“Sorry, something came up tonight and I couldn‘t pick you up. Have you had dinner?»

Rosalie let them go and asked them gently. The three children nodded obediently. “Yes, we have! We‘ve

been playing for a long time!” Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief, standing up as she said, “What have you

been playing? Show me.”

Nox ran to the living room excitedly. “We were playing with the Lego Mister Byron bought us! It‘s really

fun!”

Lucian and Estie stayed with Rosalie. She held one of their hands in each of hers, watching Nox in

amusement.

The kids obviously liked the Lego Byron had bought for them. The type and difficulty of the sets he

bought suited them perfectly. The three children had built a base over the course of a single evening. No

matter how she looked at it, though, the Lego set was very boyish. Rosalie looked at Estie worriedly. “Do

you like this Lego, Estie?” Estie‘s eyes sparkled and she nodded hard. She liked everything as long as

she was with the boys. Rosalie was finally reassured. Seeing as it was still early, she played with the

children for a while longer. Lucian and Nox were used to playing Lego with her. They focused on building

their own parts, while Rosalie chose a section of her ownn to work with. As she was looking for the tiny

pieces, she felt someone tug on her hem twice.

She turned around in confusion and saw Estie looking at her pitifully. The girl held the blueprint in her

hand and pointed at a small block, looking utterly helpless.

That obviously meant she could not find the piece she needed.

Rosalie laughed and was about to help her find it when she suddenly remembered how the girl had

spoken a while ago. If she was not mistaken, Estie would only speak a few sentences on the rare

occasions she became agitated.

As such, Rosalie pretended to look at Estie blankly. “What‘s the matter?”

Estie pointed at the piece she needed again, but Rosalie looked as confused as ever. After a while, the

girl became a little anxious. Her little mouth began to tremble. Rosalie could not bear to see her like that.

She patted the girl‘s head and said, “What do you want me to do? Go on, tell me!”

Estie blinked and opened her mouth. Rosalie thought she was going to start talking, so she looked at the

girl, full of anticipation.

Estie did seem to try, but after a few attempts, she still could not manage to say anything. Disheartened,

she poked at the two boys, who were wholly focused on their Lego blocks.

Lucian and Nox had been playing with Estie for a long time now, and they could guess what she wanted

from her gestures. When they were about to help her, though, they saw their Mommy shaking her head

at them from behind the girl‘s back. They did not know why Mommy was doing this, but they still settled

back down nevertheless. Rosalie said patiently, “You can talk, can‘t you? Come on, Estie. Tell us what

you want us to do.”

The two boys understood, and they nodded as well. “What‘s the matter, Estie?”

All three looked at her anticipation.

Estie could feel the weight of their expectations. She tried so hard to speak that her face turned red, but

she just could not make a sound. After a while, she felt so anxious and hurt that her eyes started to

redden. Rosalie had been carefully watching her expression the entire time, and she quickly caressed

Estie‘s cheek, saying, “Sorry, I was being to hasty. We can take it slowly. It‘s alright, Estie, don‘t cry.”

Lucian and Nox had found the piece she was looking for from the pile of blocks, and they offered it to her

as a consolation. “You were looking for this one, right? We found it for you!” Estie took the piece and

sniffled a bit, her smile gradually returning to her face.
