Roxanne felt her heart ached when she saw that. With a pat on Estella’s head, she said, “I went out today and
accidentally tore my wound open. I’m fine now.”
Estella’s eyes were already turning red. “Does it hurt?” The woman’s heart softened. “Not at all. I don’t feel a
thing.” Then, she glanced at Lucian and changed the subject to be about him. “Besides, your daddy was very
careful when he bandaged my wound. You can ask him whether my injury is severe or not.”
Estella’s attention was swiftly shifted to her father as she sought his answer. Lucian couldn’t help but raise his
eyebrow when Roxanne mentioned him. Still, he nodded at the child. “She’ll recover quickly if she gets the rest she
needs.”

Roxanne initially wanted to ask Lucian to take Estella home after letting Estella know she was fine. However, seeing
Estella like that made it hard for her to chase the girl away.
Due to Roxanne’s injury, the boys didn’t play around as they did before. Instead, they just sat next to her quietly.

Upon hearing that, Roxanne subconsciously glanced at Lucian She was about to say he shouldn’t stay for the meal,
but then she heard the boys say, “Mommy, can Essie eat with us?”
The boys saw how happy the girl was on the way back, and so they hoped she would get to spend more time with
their mother.

with her focus shifted to her sons, she said, “take her to the dining room.”
The boys understood that it meant their mother agreed to their request. They nodded obediently and guided
Estella. “Come with us, Essie!”

and insisted on staying by her side to help her walk.
Sensing the girl’s intentions, Roxanne smiled warmly. She wanted to ask Lysa for help when Lucian’s tall figure
appeared by her side.
“Essie, you should go with Archie and Benny first. I’ll take Ms. Jarvis to the dining room.” Lucian’s voice rang out.
Naturally, Estella believed her father, so she followed the boys into the dining room, leaving only the adults in the
living room.
