Lysa and Madilyn had been sending them to kindergarten and picking them up previously because she had been busy, and the boys had never looked so disappointed before.
“Mommy, now that the issue with the research institute is settled, does that mean we're leaving the country soon?” Benny asked carefully.

You two will need to take good care of Essie in kindergarten.” The two boys immediately bobbed their heads vigorously. The disappointment instantly vanished from their faces.
As long as they were still in Chanaea, Estella would still have the chance to meet Roxanne.
