Estella wore a blue lace top paired with a long white skirt. She looked like a little princess witha big red ribbon perched on her head and a faint blush on her fair complexion.

Moreover, everyone at the kindergarten knew she was Lucian’s precious daughter, so when they saw Estella grabbing the hem of a woman’s dress in a pitiable state, the crowd turned in the little girl’s direction.

Roxanne had a soft spot for Estella, to begin with.

With so many people staring at them, Roxanne was at a loss at that instant.

She glanced at Lucian, who was standing in the distance.

At that moment, he was surrounded by a group of parents and was politely engaged in a discussion, seemingly ignorant of the ongoing scene on Roxanne’s end.

In the end, she could only retract her gaze, crouched down, and patted Estella’s head.

“There’s no way I will dislike you.

You’re such a good girl, Essie.” Estella sniffled before complaining in a childish voice, “You never come to visit me lately, Ms.

Jarvis.

I miss you so much.” Roxanne’s heart melted at once.

She had the urge to embrace Estella and coax her.

However, because of the many pairs of watchful eyes around them, she could only hold the little girl’s hands and say, “I’ve been very busy recently and just came back from outstation work two days ago.” Upon hearing that, a hint of confusion flashed across Estella’s eyes as she looked at Roxanne in bafflement.
