Chapter 696 You Still Remember Me

When Roxanne checked her phone and saw that it was noon, she realized she

had forgotten to discuss lunch with Archie and Benny when she left earlier.

“Excuse me, I need to make a phone call,” Roxanne said apologetically as she

stood up.

Jack wasn’t sure what she was up to, but he didn’t bother to ask her about it. He

simply nodded in response and watched as she made her way to a quiet corner

of the restaurant.

Archie and Benny were watching TV with Estella at home when they heard the

phone ringing.

Knowing that their mother was the only one who would call that landline, they

immediately rushed over to answer the phone.

“When are you coming back, Mommy? Essie came over to play! We’re keeping

her company right now!” Benny asked while glancing at Estella.

He then passed the phone over to Estella and motioned at her to say

something.

“Hi, Ms. Jarvis!” Estella called out with a wide grin on her face.

Roxanne’s heart melted when she heard Estella’s adorable voice. “Hi, Essie!

What brings you here today?”

“You were drenched in the rain yesterday. I was worried that you might get sick,

so I came over to check on you!” Estella replied.

“I’m sorry, Essie, but I probably won’t be back for a while. I’ll have someone else

bring you some food, okay?” Roxanne said apologetically.

“Okay!” Estella answered with a nod.

Roxanne then told Archie and Benny to take good care of Estella before

hanging up the phone. After that, she prayed that Madilyn wouldn’t be too busy

as she dialed her number.

“What’s up, Roxanne?” Madilyn answered the phone rather quickly.

“Are you home?” Roxanne asked.

Madilyn let out a huge sigh as she replied, “Of course I am! It wasn’t easy

getting a few days off work, you know?”

She had pestered the director endlessly for days just to get a break from work.

Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Madilyn was home. “I’m

outside at the moment. Archie, Benny, and Estella are by themselves at my

house. I didn’t have time to prepare lunch for them today, so could you bring

them some food when you make lunch later?”

Naturally, Madilyn agreed to her request since she cared deeply about the three

kids.

However, she wasn’t about to go through the trouble of cooking on her day off.

After giving it some thought, Madilyn decided to just order takeout for herself

and the kids. She soon showed up outside Roxanne’s house with the bags of

food.

The kids made sure to check the intercom to confirm it was her before opening

the door.

“Hi, Aunt Madilyn!” Benny’s eyes lit up with excitement when he saw the food in

her hands.

As she wasn’t sure what the kids liked, she decided to play it safe and went with

fried chicken and hamburgers. novelbin

Sure enough, those happened to be Benny’s favorites.

“Your mommy couldn’t make it home in time, so she had me bring you kids

lunch. You are allowed to have deep-fried stuff, right?” Madilyn said as she

placed the food on the dining table.

Her gaze soon fell upon Estella, who was sitting in a corner of the living room.

As she had only seen Estella once, she didn’t remember much about the little

girl.

Huh? Is it just me, or does this girl kind of resemble Roxanne in some way?

“You’re Estella, right? Do you remember me?” Madilyn asked as she stepped

forward to take a closer look at her.

Estella blinked a couple of times before nodding and replying, “Yes, I do! It’s

nice to see you again!”
