tongue and replied to the nasty woman, “Thank you for your advice.I’ll be more mindful in the future.”

The woman took Roxanne’s meekness as a sign of her victory.She made a mental note to tell Aubree

about that night’s incident and used it to butter up the future Mrs.Farwell. As that thought crossed her

mind, the woman stared at Roxanne scornfully and spat, “Good.You would never be a good match for

Mr.Farwell.” Their conversation had lasted so long that Estella began wondering why Roxanne had not

come searchingfor them.She peeped out from behind a tree and noticed a fierce-looking woman

standing in front of Roxanne.Estella thought the woman was bullying Roxanne and hastily clambered

toward them.“Don’t bully Ms.Jarvis!” Estella yelled after latching onto Roxanne’s legs.She even shot

the nasty woman a glare for good measure.The young girl’s sudden appearance stunned the woman,

who quickly smiled and knelt down.She tried to stroke Estella’s head and cooed, “Isn’t this Ms.Estella?

You’re such an adorable girl.” Estella shied away from strangers because of her autism.When she saw

the unfamiliar woman trying to touch her head, Estella pushed her hand away and stared cautiouslyat

her.The woman’s expression froze at Estella’s rejection.The young girl’s closeness to Roxanne vexed

her as well.Still, the woman stubbornly tried to approach Estella.“Don’t worry, Ms.Estella.I mean no

harm.I just think that you look adorable.” As she spoke, she stretched her hand toward Estella once

more.Panic filled Estella’s gaze, and she hid behind Roxanne, wrapping her arms around the latter’s

leg.Roxanne scrunched her brows in concern and stopped the woman from coming closer to

Estella.She said, “Essie’s scared of strangers.If you really like her, it would be much better to keep a

distance from her.”Estella’s repeated rejection and Roxanne’sadvice enraged the woman, who stood

up and argued, “I’m close to Ms.Pearson, and she’s going to become Essie’s mother soon.My

relationship with Essie has nothing to do with you.” Roxanne’s expression shifted when she heard

Aubree’s nameagain.This woman’s telling the truth.I don’t deserve to interfere in Essie’s relationships,

but Essie seems truly frightened by this stranger.She’s shaking so much even as she hugs my leg.With

that in mind, Roxanne said, “Since your daughter and Essie are in the same class, you should know

about Essie’s condition.She doesn’t like it when strangers touch her.Thank you for your earlier advice,

but if there’s nothing else, please take your leave.Essie’s still a bit shaken.” After that, Roxanne

tenderly pulled the frightened girl into her arms.Upset and scared, Estella glared at the unfamiliar

woman behind Roxanne with tears in her eyes.Naturally, the woman ignored Roxanne’s words.With a

hostile expression on her face, she was about to say something more when footsteps approached

them.Lucian’s cold baritone soon followed.“What happened to Essie?” When she saw her father,

Estella ran toward him and hugged him tightly,wailing, “That lady doesn’t like Ms.Jarvis.”Lucian frowned

slightly.He had planned on following Roxanne and the children but was unfortunately held up by idle

chitchat with some parents along theway.He never expected to come across Estella crying when he

finally arrived.Lucian quickly deduced that “the lady” his daughter mentioned was the unfamiliar woman

standing in front of Roxanne.
