Miss Leigh Ann had just entered the classroom when she heard the choking sounds of Estie’s sobs,
she looked over quickly, only to see that the little girl was full of tears and crying hard.
“Estie, what’s wrong?” The teacher walked quickly toward Estie.
The little girl kept crying and said nothing.
On the side, Rainer obediently got up and explained the situation to Miss Leigh Ann. “Teacher, I wanted
to play with Estelle during recess, but I seemed to have frightened her.”
Another child who witnessed the situation immediately spoke up for Rainer. “Estelle hit Rainer on his
hand, but she cried instead.”
The teacher listened to what the children told her, and she understood what had happened.
Little Estie had been under her care for so long, so she naturally understood the little girl’s situation. In
addition, she had also noticed the little girl’s moodiness the past two days.
Just like what Rainer said, he frightened Estie and Estie retaliated.
The teacher asked with concern, “where did Estie hit you? Are you alright, Rainer dear? Let me look at
your hand.”
Rainer extended his hand obediently. “It’s just a light tap here. My hand doesn’t hurt anymore.”
After inspecting the back of Rainer’s hand for a while, she felt relieved to find he was alright. “I’m so
sorry, Rainer. Let me apologize for Estie.”
Rainer nodded with understanding, then he looked at Estie with concern. “But she’s still crying.”
Miss Leigh Ann was also worried, she stood up with the little girl in her arms and said to the class, “I’ll
take Estie out of class for a while. Another teacher will come in to be with you. Be good, okay?”
When the little ones agreed in unison, the teacher carried Estie in her arms and walked out of the
classroom.
“Estie, can I call your daddy?”
The little girl’s situation was worsening, and she had to pay attention to this.
However, Estie shook her head forcefully at her.
For a while, Miss Leigh Ann was distressed.
If she went against the little girl’s intentions, she feared that her situation would get worse.
However, if she could not inform President Lawrence, she did not know what else to do with the little
girl. 1
“Then tell me why you’re crying, okay?” she was patient, trying hard to appease the little one.
Estie kept choking and stammered out two words, ” Lu, No…”
Miss Leigh Ann was moved by Estie’s words and understood what she wanted.
Lucian and Nox had been absent from kindergarten for the past two days, and that made her sad.
The teacher was relieved when she knew the reason why the little girl was crying, she explained to her,
” Nox hasn’t been feeling well these two days, so he’s resting at home. He’ll come to school when he
gets better, alright?”
Little Estie’s sobs slowed down, and with her small tearful face, she looked at Miss Leigh Ann with
distrust.
The teacher’s heart relaxed a little seeing that the little girl had finally given her some response, she
touched the little girl’s head soothingly. “I know you like Lucian and Nox very much, but the rest of the
children in the class are also very good. When Lucian and Nox are away, you can get to know the other
children better too!”
Little Estie’s eyebrows became downturned at her suggestion, she shook her head reluctantly.
She did not want to get to know the other children. She only wanted the two brothers!
The teacher said that Nox fell sick…
The little girl was not sure if she could believe that, but she could not stop worrying. Estie tried her best
to hold back her tears. She ran back to the classroom and took out a pen and paper.
Miss Leigh Ann was completely puzzled as she looked at the little girl.
