Chapter 526 – Her Sudden Departure: A Tale of Love and Redemption (Lucian & Roxanne)

That was when Archie and Benny knew Estella was really getting a transfer, and they were absolutely devastated.

Pippa knew how close the three of them were, so it pained her to see them upset like this.

However, all she could do was try her best to comfort them. “You three may not be in the same kindergarten anymore, but you can still play with each other when you’re at home.”

While Pippa knew nothing about the affairs between their families, Archie and Benny knew exactly what happened. Daddy must’ve transferred Essie because he got into a fight with Mommy! He doesn’t want to let us play with Essie anymore!

Archie’s and Benny’s eyes reddened. They had always been obedient and composed in class, so this was Pippa’s first time seeing them cry. For some reason, she found herself empathizing with them.

Pippa knelt beside them and said gently, “Don’t worry. The three of you are very close, so I’m sure Essie will come to play with you two very often. Besides, I’m sure Essie wouldn’t want to see you two crying like this.”

Although Archie and Benny were still upset, they didn’t want to cause Pippa any trouble. Archie nodded obediently and held Benny’s hand as he said, “Come on, Ms. Ward. Let’s head inside!”

Pippa breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them stop crying, but she still felt bad for what they had to go through. My goodness… These two are so mature for their age!

Apart from being a lot quieter throughout the day, Archie and Benny showed no unusual behavior. It wasn’t until class was over that their eyes turned slightly red.

Pippa could see that they were still upset about Estella leaving, but she didn’t know how to comfort them. She simply held their hands in silence.

Lysa frowned in confusion when she arrived and saw their expressions. “What’s the matter? Did you two get into a fight with the other kids?” Archie and Benny shook their heads. “Essie is transferring to another kindergarten, Ms. Lane.”

Lysa froze in shock when she heard that. As she looked at the kids in the kindergarten, she realized Estella was nowhere to be seen. And here I thought Mr. Farwell had brought Essie home. Who knows…

“That’s all right. You can have your mommy take you to Essie’s house if you want to play with her.” Lysa sounded somewhat uncertain when she said that.

Lucian and Roxanne had practically cut off all forms of communication with each other. Lysa had no idea what happened between them, let alone if Roxanne would allow Archie and Benny to visit Estella.

Even so, she could only try her best to reassure them that everything would be all right. Archie and Benny pursed their lips and shook their heads.

Mommy and Daddy are still fighting, so there’s no way they’ll let us visit Essie! The boys sniffled at the thought of that and tried their best to suppress their tears.

Unsure of what she could do to comfort them, Lysa could only let out a helpless sigh in response. Upon arriving at the mansion, Lysa brought Archie and Benny into the house as quickly as she could.

Roxanne was already waiting for them at home. The moment they came in through the door, she noticed something was off about her kids. “What’s wrong?” she asked in confusion.

Archie and Benny ran toward her upon hearing her voice. Roxanne stretched her arms out to give them a big hug. “Tell me what happened.”

“Essie is transferring away, Mommy!” Benny replied. Roxanne’s expression and arms stiffened.

Archie and Benny told me that Essie took the day off yesterday afternoon. I assumed Lucian had something urgent to do, so I didn’t give it much thought. Who would’ve known Essie would be transferring away the next day…

After taking a moment to recompose herself, Roxanne asked, “Did she cry?” Estella had cried a lot when Archie and Benny had been expelled, so she assumed Archie and Benny would also feel upset about her leaving.

Benny shook his head. “We didn’t get to see Essie. It was Ms. Ward who told us about it.” They didn’t know if Estella had cried about her transfer.

It wasn’t until they heard Roxanne’s question that they realized Estella was probably just as upset as they were, if not more. Archie and Benny tugged anxiously at Roxanne’s shirt. “Let’s go visit Essie, Mommy! She must be really sad right now!”

Roxanne wanted to visit Estella too, but the mere thought of heading over to the Farwell residence reminded her of what she had seen that night.

Lucian and Aubree were chatting happily outside the mansion. That’s probably why Lucian decided to get Essie transferred, huh… Aubree never liked us being close to Essie. If Lucian decides to be with her, then it’s only natural that he prioritizes her feelings. I feel really bad for Essie, though. I wonder if she has accepted Aubree…

Roxanne snapped out of her train of thought when she heard Lysa let out a helpless sigh. She glanced in Lysa’s direction in confusion, only to see her shake her head before she entered the kitchen.

Lysa had seen how Estella behaved when she was around Roxanne and the boys. She couldn’t stand the fact that Estella had to leave the people she liked so much.

As Roxanne shifted her gaze back toward Archie and Benny, she saw that their eyes had gotten a lot redder. They looked as though they would burst out crying at any second.

Roxanne had rarely ever seen them cry, so she knew they must be really upset. Benny tugged hard on her shirt. “Let’s go, Mommy!”

However, Roxanne brushed his hand off and said in her calmest voice possible, “Mr. Farwell must have his reasons for getting Essie transferred.” Archie and Benny weren’t having any of it. “But Essie will miss us!”

Roxanne let out a helpless chuckle. “That’s true, but the three of you won’t always be together. There will come a day when we have to say goodbye to her.”

Lucian probably knew that was coming. That must be the reason he brought Essie away as soon as possible. Roxanne continued, “Even if Essie didn’t transfer to another kindergarten, I would still be bringing you two overseas with me after my work here is done.”

Archie and Benny were at a loss. What? We’re still leaving the country? Didn’t Mommy give up on that plan?

As though Roxanne had read their minds, she patted them on the heads and said, “Honestly, I’m at fault too. I should’ve separated you two from Essie when I told her we would be leaving the country.”

Archie and Benny could not understand why they had to leave Estella.

“Why can’t we stay together with Essie forever?” Benny couldn’t help but ask. We don’t have to be separated if Daddy and Mommy reconcile.

When Roxanne heard Benny’s straightforward question, her expression stiffened a little. “That’s because…” The kids stared intently at her, waiting for her answer.

After a few moments, she braced herself and stated the reason. “That’s because Mr. Farwell will get married sooner or later. By then, Essie will also have a new family and grow attached to her mommy.”

Archie and Benny pouted after listening to that. Mommy is still unaware that we already know about our births. Why can’t Daddy’s wife be her?

Roxanne was clueless about the thoughts going through the boys’ minds as she explained, “Mr. Farwell must have his considerations for deciding to transfer Essie to another school. Perhaps he wants to provide her with a better educational environment. After all, with her family background, she should receive the best education in the first place.”

She looked away the entire time as she spoke, not daring to meet Archie’s and Benny’s gazes. Archie frowned. His voice sounded slightly hoarse as he uttered stubbornly, “If Essie is transferring to another school, we’ll move to the same school as her.”

Roxanne furrowed her brows. Before she could say a thing, Archie added, “Benny can find out about Essie’s new school, and the money I earn should be sufficient to fund our education fees.”

Archie and Benny had different talents. Roxanne’s skills in their areas of expertise were very limited, so she chose not to interfere in what they did.

Benny had displayed his outstanding hacking skills in front of her on multiple occasions. Hence, she knew he was indeed capable of discovering the school Estella would be transferring to.

However, she knew nothing about how much money Archie had earned via all those years of trading stocks and managing his finances.

With Benny’s computer skills and Archie’s wealth, they didn’t need her support at all to execute their plan.

Therefore, Roxanne didn’t know what her stance was on refusing them. As a result, she was left with no alternative but to say, “What if I don’t agree?”

A solemn expression spread across Archie’s little face. “Why do you disagree? Aren’t you worried about Essie?”

Roxanne was rendered speechless.

It wasn’t until after a while that she barely came up with a reason.

“Mr. Farwell made the decision regarding Essie’s school transfer. Since he didn’t tell you two about this, that means he didn’t want you to tag along. If you enroll in the same school as Essie and he relocates her again, will you two keep following her around?”

Considering that possibility, Archie and Benny lowered their heads in disappointment.

They yearned to tell Roxanne that they had already known about how they came to be.

However, Roxanne constantly avoided Lucian and even forbade them from divulging their actual age to him. The boys reckoned she was firm on not letting Lucian know about that matter.

Hence, they were afraid of scaring Roxanne away if they abruptly told her the truth.

If that happened, it would be even more difficult for them to meet with Estella again.

At that thought, Archie and Benny did not say anything else.

Assuming the boys had conceded, Roxanne patted their heads with her heart aching. “Be good. Essie will certainly be happy at her new school.”

After she said that, tears brimmed in her eyes before Archie and Benny even responded.

Judging from Essie’s personality, there’s no way she’ll be happy for suddenly having to get used to a new environment. Still, this is the only way I can console Archie and Benny.

    I’m done with this and I will definitely only be coming back here to see if the person has responded to my message. This is boring now and I’m done waiting for those little chapters that are basically telling the same story in a different way. I have been reading people’s comments and the writer/writers have heard our constant pleas but still chose to ignore us making reading on this site pointless.

    In the recently posted Chapters, the The book has been too harsh for the kids. They are victims of circumstances beyond their control and are helpless. This girl Essie has suffered trauma all her life. I think the author has been too harsh on her. The two boys have also suffered. However, they are twins giving support to each other. I can not wait to see the future turn of events.

        I’m intrigued as to why you can’t stop reading again and again? 🤔 if you haven’t already noticed, the author has dragged this stupid storyline out over and over she’s pretty much killed this story as a result. I won’t be surprised if the author has gone and taken other authors storylines just to keep this one going. Such a disappointment when authors play their readers like this. It’s a good thing we’re not reading it from the app. I can only imagine how many readers are getting scammed into purchasing chapters as a result. These authors really know how to scam their readers.

    The author has also punished Estella by not letting her know her biological mother. She has nowhere to run to. Each tine the two adults fight (Lucian and Roxanne), she is the worst affected. Author should find a way of making her miserable life better. She had integrated well with Archie and Benny. Now suddenly, life becomes unbearable for when she is transferred to another kindergarten because of inconsiderate adults who are always fighting. Alas, the autism condition will affect her worse this time and she may never recover. Such a novel setting portrays life as always being unfair to innocent children born from marriages of fighting adults who are just concerned about their own selfish motives. I am waiting to see how events will unfold. I also do nit understand why the author continues to harden Roxanne’s heart. It merely makes the situation unbearable for both of them and the children. In as much as Lucian wronged her, there should be time of serious reflection, forgive each other and move on. Anger, bitterness and failure to forgive does not benefit anyone. Iam anxiously waiting to see how the events will unfold.

Yep…continue dragging, I’ll continue skim reading until we get chapters that work towards reconciliation and restoration of relationships, and the kids and main characters can finally be a family.

Lucian has to learn how to court a woman and stop being so angry. Roxanne has to stop acting the fool. It is not all fools day. The boys will have to take matters in their hands because the parents are acting stupid. Frieda should soon find out that Aubree will throw her under the bus and try to get rid of both she and the p.I. guy.

    I cannot say I donn’t love the novel as I have come to this chapter. 526! However the story getting irrational when a CEO of a prominent company and a head of research institute put their kids in that devastating situation due to childish reason. and yet 6 years old boys are lots smarter than their parents.
    Better to wrap up the story and move on to a new novel
