Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 55

After Roxanne was done tending to Estella, Archie and Benny returned downstairs while carrying Estella’s gifts.

They each had a strange-looking stuffed toy in their hands and walked up to the little girl. “We bought these with our pocket money. You can have them.”

The dolls looked adorable yet hideous at the same time and didn’t seem to suit Estella at all.

However, this was the girl’s first time receiving gifts from peers her age whom she liked very much. Thus, she joyously accepted the stuffed toys and hugged them more tightly than she did her previous doll.

After a long while, Estella finally put the toys down and scribbled a massive word of thanks on her notebook, showing her writing to Archie and Benny.
