NovelEnglishCHAPTER 1115 The two of them continued discussing that matter throughout the rest of the day.
Being the more emotional of the two, Benny simply wanted Jack to leave so Roxanne and Lucian would get back together Archie, on the other hand, was more rational and didn’t want to affect Roxanne’s career.
However, neither of them was able to arrive at a conclusion even when school was over.
“Archie! Benny! Look who's there!” Pippa spotted Roxanne waiting at the front gate the moment they stepped out the classroom door.
Archie and Benny were so absorbed in their thoughts that they didn’t even notice Roxanne standing there until Pippa mentioned it.

The look on Roxanne’s face made Archie and Benny more determined to help Lucian and Roxanne get back together.
“Mommy!” Benny called out to Roxanne while running toward her.
Having been snapped out of her train of thought, Roxanne patted him on the head before instinctively scanning the crowd.
Despite having confirmed Lucian’s feelings toward her earlier that morning, Roxanne still found herself coming over when school was over that evening.
She refused to give up, but sure enough, she still saw no sign of Estella anywhere.
As Archie was walking a little slower, he clearly saw Roxanne searching the crowd for Estella.
Huh. | don’t get it. Why would Mommy keep fighting with Daddy if she cares about Essie so much? “Let's go home, Mommy!” Benny said softly when Archie walked up to them.
Roxanne flashed him a smile and nodded in response, but her legs refused to move.
Maybe | should wait just a little while longer.
Realizing her hesitation, Archie reached out to hold her hand and said, “Essie didn’t cto school today, Mommy.” Naturally, that meant no one would be coming to pick her up.
Roxanne froze in surprise when she realized Archie had seen right through her thoughts.

Having accepted reality for what it was, Roxanne replied with a wry smile, “All right, let's go.” She then walked hand in hand with Archie and Benny as they made their way toward her car. It wasn’t until they entered the car that Benny realized Roxanne was looking for Estella earlier.
After discussing it with Archie the entire day and witnessing Roxanne searching for Estella, Benny couldn't help but ask, “Mommy, could you give Mr. Farwell a call and ask him how Essie is doing?” That question caught Roxanne completely off guard and caused her to tighten her grip on the steering wheel “Mommy?” Roxanne had wanted to tell them that it wasn’t convenient for her to call Lucian, but she couldn’t bring herself to say that when she saw how worried they were about Estella.
After hesitating for a bit, Roxanne replied, “I'll give him a call tonight and tell you boys about it tomorrow.” “Okay!” Seeing how Roxanne had agreed to it so easily, Benny assumed the conflict between her and Lucian wasn't that serious.
As he leaned back against his seat, however, Archie jabbed at his arm and gave him a look.
Because of how well they knew each other, that look was all Benny needed to understand what Archie was trying to say.
Mommy's lying! She's not going to actually make that phone call! Benny pursed his lips in disappointment when the sudden realization dawned upon him.
He then remained silent throughout the rest of the ride home
