Female Novel
Chapter 1642
Anne lowered her head and grabbed the quilt. Her mouth was pouting and her little face was blanched. She was unwilling to speak. It seemed thatEstella had gotten along well with her. Children did not understand who was good or bad. As long as they liked something, they would protect it.
I pursed my lips and reached out to hold her small hand, stroking it carefully. ‘Anne, I also wish for more people to treat you well, but we are theclosest to each other. Shouldn't there be no secrets? I promise that I won't be angry, okay?"
Anne pursed her lips together and then told the truth.novelbin
When Hendrix had me under house arrest, he'd once brought Anne to Roberts Group. The company was expanding at the time, and everyone wasbusy. Only Estella, who was the former receptionist, had nothing to do, so the task of taking care of Anne had naturally fallen on her. Estella was verygood at pleasing children. With just two lollipops during one morning, she had taught Anne how to use WhatsApp. She'd even helped Anne make anew account and password. It was not surprising that I hadn't found
Estella's contact in the previous account.
After thinking for a while, I still asked for the account and password from Anne. After Anne slept, I went back to my room, logged onto her WhatsApp,and checked the message records between the two of them. Anne was still incapable of typing, so her messages consisted mostly of voice noteswithout any special content. However, Estella always fulfilled Anne's wants. She would satisfy her with things that I did not agree upon. Usingdesserts for example, in the past half month, Estella had secretly sent them to Anne no less than five times.
Any mother could understand how angry I was at the moment. Without thinking much, I used Anne's account to call Estella on WhatsApp.
As expected, she answered very quickly. Her voice was soft and gentle, carrying a hint of doting. "Anne, do you still want to chat with me for a littlelonger?"
"Miss Zanes." I greeted in a cold voice, without hiding my dissatisfaction.
There was a moment of silence on the other side, and Estella's tone changed a lot. She answered respectfully and conscientiously, "Mrs. Roberts, it'salready so late, and you haven't slept..."
Initially, I had remained oblivious toward Estella
because Hendrix was happy with herwork. Now thatshe was involvingAnne, I saw.Ao reason to give herface anyrnore. I maintained a obusinesstike attitude and my tonewas harsher.

She sighed and explained in a sad tone, "Mrs. Roberts, you've misunderstood. I just think that Anne is lovely, and want to dote on her more. Iwasn't...”
“Then get yourself a baby to doteon.” I didn't give her a chance tofinish. "Shouidn't you? I remember »that Vindént had been waiting foryOu. Ifyou change your mind, andwantto get married and startyourown business, Hendrix anckhcanspeak for you." Content bélongs toNovelDrama.Org
Estella went quiet. After a long silence, she finally obliged. "I understand, Mrs. Roberts. I won't do any more unnecessary things in the future.”I said, "Good. Delete Anne's contact after hanging up. I'll check it later. That's all.”
After that. I put the phone in front of me and pressed the hang up button. After waiting for two minutes, I opened the message box and sent amessage. I was relieved to see a non- friend reminder notice.
