Estella’s gleeful countenance from yesterday had been replaced with a pitiful expression as she stood behind the boys. | want to stay with Archie and Benny longer! Seeing that the children had arrived downstairs, Roxanne had no choice but to put the things in her hands down and open the door.
“Mr. Fair—" Roxanne cut herself off when she realized the visitor wasn’t who she thought it was. “Why are you here, Mr. Damaris?” Jack was holding a bouquet of baby’s breath with a warm smile. “I was worried when you didn’t cyesterday or explain why you couldn't make it, so | decided to visit early in the morning. | didn’t disturb your rest, did 1?” As he spoke, he looked inside the living room and saw three children staring at him warily.
He couldn't help but be taken aback at the sight of the kids. “They are...” When the children snapped back to reality, they politely but distantly greeted Jack, “Hello, Mr. Damaris.” Estella was unfamiliar with Jack, but she still greeted him with the boys.

Just as she wondered what to do, Estella trotted toward her and tugged her shirt. “Ms. Jarvis.” Roxanne lowered her eyes.
Estella rubbed her tummy and whined, “I'm hungry.” Roxanne smiled apologetically at Estella before turning her attention back to Jack. “Sorry, | woke up a little late today. | haven't prepared their breakfasts. Please, cin and sit with us.” “Sure.”
