Chapter 1061 Something Is Off Estella was clearly alarmed by what Roxanne said. She couldn't stop crying and shaking her head. Roxanne wiped the girl's tears away and uttered softly, “In that case, don’t cry anymore.” Archie and Benny helped do the same.

After Roxanne said she liked Estella, the two of them repeated their mother’s sentiment. “It doesn’t matter what our relationship is. We'll still like you, Essie!” While that stopped Estella from sobbing further, she still felt quite upset. “But... if | change school, | won't be able to see you two anymore.” Benny promised, “Even if you do, we'll still visit you to play with you! If Mr. Farwell and the others forbid us from doing so, we'll just sneak our way in!” Having listened to the conversation among the children, Roxanne thought, | don’t think I'll let them meet each other again after this.

However, Estella seemed to be moved. Roxanne didn’t want to burst their bubbles, so she agreed with her silence.

The three of them talked with Estella for a long while, and only then was her mood finally lifted again.

Benny recounted everything interesting that had happened in the kindergarten over the past two days.

When Roxanne finally saw Estella smiling from listening to Benny's story, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“You should keep her company for a while, Archie. | have something | need Benny's help with.” She was still wondering why Benny had called Lucian Daddy and wanted to ask him about it.

The kids were in a happy mood at that moment, so none of them gave her statement much thought.

Benny merely thought his mother needed his aid to decoding something again, so he followed her upstairs enthusiastically.

It wasn’t until he noticed that his mother was heading toward their bedroom instead of the study that he started to feel guilty.

After he entered the room, she closed the door.

“Mommy...” Benny lowered his head guiltily.

Seeing that, Roxanne felt something was amiss.

She knew the children too well. She could tell from a glance what he was feeling.

Suddenly, she panicked a little.

However, lest she misunderstood the boy, she asked, “Earlier, why did you suddenly call Mr. Farwell Daddy?” Benny lowered his head and was at a loss for words.

He was great at computers, but not confrontations like those.

In the past, his brother would always help him navigate through situations like those, but at that moment, he was alone.

He knew his mother was smart. If he answered her question too slowly, she would get suspicious.

At that thought, he could only steel himself and utter, “I didn’t call Mr. Farwell Daddy. | just wanted to say that he’s Essie’s Daddy and that he can’t make her cry.” He raised his head to look at Roxanne’s countenance. “But | got a little too anxious and only remembered to say the words ‘Daddy.” Roxanne knitted her eyebrows slightly, unsure of what to believe. The children were shocked by what happened earlier, and Benny's answer does make sense. However, | can’t help but feel that something's off.

“Also...” Seeing that his mother was still skeptical of the matter, Benny had a brilliant idea and started acting pitifully. “When | saw Mr. Farwell hugging Essie, | thought Archie and | would be hugged the sway if our daddy was still alive!” That hit a soft spot in Roxanne’s heart. She put away her suspicions and stared at her boy apologetically.
