Chapter 493 Meanwhile, Roxanne hesitated when she read the text message sent in the group chat.

She had just sealed the deal with the Damaris family, and it was expected of her to adjust her schedule according to the request of the Damaris family. Hence, she was not sure if she would be busy then.

Moreover, she had to attend the anniversary celebration. With that said, she would inevitably run into either Lucian or Estella; or both.

She could not bear to see the sad puppy eyes of Estella.

While Archie and Benny were discussing the anniversary celebration with her, they saw the message posted by Pippa in the group chat. Upon noticing the worrislook on Roxanne’s face, they asked cautiously, “Will you go, Mommy?” Their tone of voice put her in a quandary. “If | don’t go, would you two be able to attend the event on your own?” The boys exchanged a glance and shook their heads vigorously. “We want you to be there, Mommy!” Actually, the two kids were not bothered if Roxanne was absent. However, they thought about the chance of their mother running into Estella if she were to show up at the anniversary celebration.

It's been a long while since Mommy has paid Essie a visit. We really want to cheer Essie up.

Roxanne frowned instead of answering immediately.

Benny put up a pitiful face and stared into Roxanne’s eyes. “Mommy, this is the very first twe're going to perform on stage.” Right then, Archie chimed in, “We really want you to watch our performance. Little children like us will get stage fright if Mommy isn’t there.” Roxanne found it amusing to hear Archie express his fear so solemnly, but she acknowledged their desire to want her there.

Even though she was not sure if the boys were up to anything, she did not want to miss the kids’ first-ever performance. After mulling it over for a long time, she agreed, “Okay, | got it. I'll accompany you to the celebration.” With that, Roxanne exited the chat with Pippa.

Initially, she wanted to inform the latter that she would be absent on the day of the event. However, the eagerness of the children changed her mind. She did not have the heart to disappoint them.

When Archie and Benny heard that their mother said yes, they cheered excitedly. Both of them hugged Roxanne and exclaimed dotingly, “Thanks, Mommy! We love you the most!” Roxanne smiled and patted their heads.

Afterward, her phone buzzed. Roxanne took a peek and saw that it was a message from Pippa. Ms. Jarvis, would you be coming to the anniversary celebration? Roxanne was briefly stunned by the teacher's question and wondered why she would purposely ask her that.

During the last tree-planting event, Ms. Ward just assumed my presence. | don’t remember her personally checking up onfor a response.

Just as she was still puzzled over the strange gesture, Pippa seemed to have sensed the awkwardness.

Therefore, the latter quickly added another line to explain herself. The upcoming school event is rather important. Thus, the school leader requested the teachers to confirm with all parents.

With her question answered, Roxanne did not dwell much on it anymore. She replied: Don’t worry, Ms. Ward. I'll be there on tfor the event and participate actively. Thanks for asking Pippa heaved a sigh of relief when she received a favorable response from Roxanne. After having brief small talk, Pippa exited the chat and sent the screenshot of her conversation with Roxanne to Jeffrey, the head of the kindergarten.

Jeffrey instructed Pippa to get Roxanne’s confirmation. In the case Roxanne declined the invitation to the celebration, Pippa was asked to persuade her accordingly.

When Pippa approached Roxanne, she was worried that the latter would say no. Should that happen, the former had to cup with an excuse to make Roxanne change her mind.

Fortunately, none of her worries ctrue.

After updating Jeffrey, Pippa received an instant reply: Put Ms. Estella Farwell on the steam as her two children.

Pippa did not dare to question Jeffrey's intention. She assumed that Estella had requested to be on the steam as the boys. Hence, she agreed.
