Chapter 1080 Thank You Darlings The sound of the door downstairs being opened and closed was heard. Roxanne froze where she stood as she glanced at her empty hands. Lucian is gone just like that...
She rushed out to the balcony and looked down and managed to catch a glimpse of Lucian carrying Estella to the car before their car slowly pulled away from the mansion. Roxanne felt inexplicably aggrieved as she watched their car gradually disappear from sight.
All I wanted was to discuss with him the issues with Estella’s character, so how did the matter take such an unexpected turn? If we were to never see each other again, wouldn't Estella’s final impression ofbe terrible? By the tshe regained her senses, her cheeks were already wet with tears. Archie and Benny, who had been waiting for their mother downstairs, went up to check on her when they didn’t see her cdown.

For sreason, they could sense the sadness just by looking at her silhouette.
“Mommy?” Benny called out warily.
Roxanne didn’t respond at all as if she didn’t hear a thing.
The boys, upon exchanging a glance, ran up to her side, where Archie gave her sleeve a tug.
His gesture jolted Roxanne back to her senses. Surprised by the sight of her sons, who had arrived unnoticed, she frantically wiped her tears away with her hands.
Unfortunately, it didn't escape the boys’ notice.
“Mommy, are you crying?” Benny looked up with an anxious expression.

Archie extended his hand to wipe her tears away. “We were concerned when you didn’t cdown, so we decided to check on you. Mommy, are you worried about Essie?” Smiling at Archie through the tears that clouded her vision, Roxanne choked out, “I'm fine. Sorry to have made you boys worry.” Benny comforted her anxiously, “Don’t cry, Mommy. Even Essie didn’t shed tears when she left just now.” There was a glint in Roxanne’s eyes when she heard that.
Essie didn’t cry? | clearly saw her tears just now.
Noticing the suspicion on Roxanne’s face, Archie said in a childish voice, “Essie told us she would definitely cand play with us again!” Thereafter, the boys gave Roxanne a long hug to comfort her, and only then did Roxanne regain her composure.
“Am I... not nice to Essie?” Roxanne asked hesitantly after a long pause.
The boys were surprised by her words. “Mommy, no one treats her better than you do!” Daddy and Grandma don’t concern themselves with Essie’s feelings. Only Mommy cares about what she thinks.
Moreover, the boys could see that Roxanne treated Estella the sway as she did to them even though she didn’t admit it.
The love she has for Essie is on par with the love she has for us! “This is all our fault. Not only did we not set a good example, but we also failed in taking good care of her.” “Mommy, we're the ones to blame!” Roxanne pulled the boys into her arms and expressed her gratitude in a raspy voice. “Thank you, Darlings.”
