She squatted down to check on the little girl.
Little Estie retreated behind Byron almost immediately, her little hands tightly grasping the hem ofByron’s clothes. She was unwilling to look at Wendy.
“Estie, I’m sorry that I made you upset, but I just…” Wendy squatted, feigning her patience while tryingto hold Estie’s hand. Estie, like a terrified kitten, swatted the woman’s hand away with a smack. Hertiny face was full of resistance.
‘I hate this bad aunt the most! It’s all this bad aunt’s fault that the pretty aunt left me!’ Wendy refused togive up. Thinking about the Lawrence couple behind her, she continued to approach the little girl.
