Chapter 343 Is It Because You Are Worried About Me?
Miss Leigh Ann chatted and shared a few kind words with Nox, then she looked at the time with a littleembarrassment on her face.
She had agreed to give Estie a day off, but she was still on duty at work. It was not good for her to stayoutside for too long.
“Estie, we’ve visited and checked on Nox. Should we go back now?” Miss Leigh Ann asked for the littlegirl’s opinion.
Estie looked eagerly at Rosalie and the brothers. She pursed her lips and shook her head.
Looking at the little girl’s response, Miss Leigh Ann knew that it would not be so easy for her to bringthe girl back today, she was flustered for a while, so she could only look at Rosalie for help.
Rosalie smiled at Miss Leigh Ann. “Let Estie stay. I’ll take her home in a moment. You can go and dowhat you need to.”
Hearing this, Miss Leigh Ann breathed a sigh of relief and got up to say goodbye.
Rosalie and the kids watched Miss Leigh Ann leave before returning to the living room.
Estie held onto Rosalie’s hand tightly throughout. Her tiny hands even became sweaty. Even then, shewas still unwilling to let go. 1
Rosalie’s heart turned to mush, but she had to be ruthless.
The reason why she asked Miss Leigh Ann to allow the little girl to stay was that she knew the childwould not leave easily. Secondly, she also had something to say to Estie.
Rosalie squatted down, looked into the little girl’s eyes, and was about to speak when suddenly, thegirl’s stomach growled abruptly.
“Mommy, the little sister is hungry,” Nox innocently reminded his mommy.
Rosalie frowned slightly. Looking at the innocent and pitiful little face in front of her, she pushed backthe thoughts in her mind and said, “It just happens to be lunchtime. Estie, why don’t you join US?”
Estie nodded with no hesitation.
On the way to the restaurant, the little girl continued to hold Rosalie’s hand tightly. Her big eyes werestaring at Nox, her face full of concern.novelbin
Nox knew that Estie was worried about him but noticed that she had not spoken since she entered thedoor. Thinking of letting her try to speak, Nox pretended not to understand and sat down quietly at thedining table.
Estie could not help but feel a little anxious when she saw that Nox had clearly met her gaze but hehad not spoken to her yet.
Opposite her, Nox deliberately showed discomfort on his face. Then, he would peek at the girl fromtime to time.
Little Estie was so anxious that she stuttered, “Noh…
Nox!”
Nox then slowly met her gaze. “What’s wrong, Estie?”
Little Estie frowned and pointed at his stomach. “Not well.”
After Nox heard her speak, he smiled and reassured her, “I’m already better now! Didn’t Mommy justsay that? We’re going back to the kindergarten soon! ”
Little Estie finally felt relieved, she nodded obediently, and a smile appeared on her face.
However, Nox could not help but ask, “Did you cry just now? Was it because you were worried aboutme?”
Rosalie and Lucian also looked over consciously after hearing this.
From the moment the little one entered the door, they noticed the wet streaks on her face and her redeyes. They just never asked.

She did not expect that there would be such warmth between them.
Hearing Nox asked about the little girl’s well-being, she still could not help but care.

She nodded and admitted that she had cried because she was worried aboutNox.
