Mission To Remarry

“Mommy must be very angry. It’s all the two women’s fault! I won’t forgive them if they come looking for Mommy for trouble again.” Benny sounded furious.

With his cheeks puffed up, Archie agreed, “Hear, hear! We must protect Mommy.”

However, Estella seemed to be more worried than the two boys. “Mommy has just recovered, and they’ve come here to bully her. The doctor says Mommy can’t get too emotionally agitated…”

Worry was written all over her face.

Archie and Benny did not find it strange that Estella was addressing Roxanne as Mommy. They just felt that was how it should have been.

Still, the boys, too, started to worry after hearing her words.

After all, Roxanne had locked herself in the room after teaching Aubree and Frieda a lesson. And with what Estella said, they feared something might actually happen to Roxanne again.
