The next morning, Roxanne and the three kids had breakfast together

Estella sat beside her quictly and allowed the boys to feed her. Fler cheeks pulled up adorably as thoug

h she were a chipmunk.

Roxanne felt her heart sofien at the sight of the obedient little girl. She also felt bad for her.

I believe Essie wanted to talk last night.

With that thought in mind, she gazed at Estella affectionately. “Essie, do you want some buns?”

Estella nodded eagerly.

Roxanne picked up a bun but didn‘t place it on Estella‘s plate. She said, “If you want, tell me in words.”

Estella blinked, seemingly stumped by her request.

Roxanne‘s brows furrowed in disappointment. “If you don‘t talk, I might not understand what you want.

That way, I’ll worry that I can‘t take care of

Hearing her words, Archie and Benny placed their forks

down. “Let‘s do it together! We want to hear Essie talk, too!“.

As their expectant gazes

fell on Estella, she glanced at each and every one of them. Her fists balled up as she forced herself to

grunt, “Mm!”

Roxanne and the boys were pleasantly delighted by her soft and adorable voice. Their eyes lit up in sur

prise.

I was just trying my luck and didn‘t expect Estella to talk for real!

Despite wanting more, Roxanne knew she shouldn‘t be impatient. She stroked Estella‘s hair adoringly

Estella beamed at her and nodded happily,

Benny chimed in, “We‘re helping her to learn how to talk!”

Pippa assumed they were joking around. After all, she had taught Estella for some ume but never hear

However, Archie and Benny

took the matter seriously. They were even discussing how to push Estella to talk during class.

In between classes, Estella went to them as usual so they could play together.

Nevertheless, Archie wasn‘t his usual self. He frowned and demanded, “What do you want from us?”

Puzzled, Estella whipped her head around to look at Benny.

I want to play with Archie and Benny! We play together every day, right?

Benny added sternly, “Hurry up and tell us what you want. Archie and I are busy!”

Both of them were obviously treating her coldly. Estella recalled how she followed them everywhere bac

To her surprise, Archie pocketed the pencil. “Talk to us. Otherwise, we won‘t know what you mean.”

Estella gripped the corner of the desk sadly.

“Didn‘t you promise Mommy this morning that you‘ll learn how to talk slowly?” Benny gazed at her. “If

you can‘t talk, you can call our names.

We‘ve been calling your name, Essie, but you‘ve never said our names!”

Estella parted her lips but nothing came out of her mouth. She grew anxious and was about to burst into

Seeing that, Archie and Benny gave her the pencil instead of forcing her to talk.
