Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 54

Given how well-raised the boys were, they shook their heads despite liking the toys, knowing how expensive these things were. “We can’t accept these. They’re too expensive.”

Estella tilted her head in confusion before placing the toys next to them and scribbling on her notebook again: For you. Thank. Help.

Benny peered at her writing in bewilderment.

Archie was initially perplexed as well, but realization quickly dawned on him. “Are you trying to say you’re thanking us for our help that day?”
