By the time they settled in their room, it was already nighttime. Pippa led the parents to the restaurant the botanical garden had arranged for them.

Roxanne took Archie and Benny to get their food.

There were far more employees of the botanical garden at the restaurant than when they first gotoff the bus, and Estella did not like that.

She followed closely behind Roxanne, never taking her eyes off the latter.

Roxanne turned around when she sensed Estella’s gaze, and a pained look appeared in her eyes upon noticing the girl’s timid expression.

All signs of timidness had vanished from her face without a trace.
