NovelEnglishChapter 765 Something Was Moved Archie and Benny ran to a corner. They glanced furtively over their shoulders at Roxanne, making sure she was out of earshot before asking in a whisper, “Well? What did Mr. Farwell say?” Upon hearing their question, Estella recalled her conversation with Lucian during their journey and answered, “Daddy said it was his fault, and he won't do it again.” The two boys heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that. Then they remarked chidingly, “Hmph! Mr. Farwell is the one who wants to pursue Mommy, yet he made her angry.” If it weren't because he has appeared sincere up until now, we wouldn't bother helping him.
Despite Lucian being the one in the wrong, Estella could not help feeling guilty. She said softly, “Daddy already knows he made a mistake, so don’t stop helping him...” She sounded so pitiful that Archie and Benny also softened their tones as they replied, “Don’t worry. We'll help him.” Then, they could not resist asking curiously, “By the way, did you call Mommy at such a late hour just to tell us this?” There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, and the boys started getting worried.
After a while, Estella finally spoke again. “I want to be with the two of you and Ms. Jarvis. | don’t want Ms.

If we'd known, we would've said something to Mr. Farwell so that you could stay.” Estella shook her head. “I don’t blyou. It’s all Ms. Pearson’s fault.” “That evil woman... If she dares to bully you, you must let us know. We'll get back at her for you,” the boys replied indignantly.
Their response made Estella press her lips together in a shy smile. She sounded much more relaxed as she murmured, “Thank you, Archie. Thank you, Benny.” The children chatted for a while before reluctantly ending the call.
After hanging up, Estelle remembered what Roxanne had said earlier. She took skraft paper and started making paper roses for her.
Just imagining the look on Roxanne’s face when she received the flowers filled Estella’s heart with anticipation.
Seeing that it was getting late, Catalina went upstairs to give Estella a bath.
She had to knock stbefore getting a response.
As Estella stood in the doorway, Catalina gazed at her and asked curiously, “What were you busy with, Ms.
Estella?” Estella’s eyes crinkled as she pointed at the paper roses on the table.

Catalina had not seen Estella smile since Aubree moved in, let alone smile so brightly.
Her heart could not help but melt when she saw how happy Estella looked. “It’s getting late. Let's get you cleaned up and tucked into bed. You can pick up where you left off tomorrow, okay?” Estella nodded obediently, and Cataline led her into the bathroom.
Inside the bathroom, Catalina sensed something amiss as she helped Estella undress.
| could be imagining it, but it seems as though something in this bathroom has been moved. The only people who cinto this bathroom are Mr. Farwell and me. Oh, and Estella, too. Maybe one of them moved something.
Catalina put it out of her mind and gave Estella her bath as usual. Then, she waited until Estella fell asleep before getting up and leaving.
