Chapter 1047 Was She Good
On Monday, Sonya sent Estella to the new kindergarten herself. The new kindergarten was not far more luxurious than the old one. The only difference between them was the different teachers and classmates.
In spite of that, Sonya was delighted with her arrangement. My granddaughter is finally away from Roxanne’s kids! She’ll still be able to make new friends here, anyway.
Sonya was so preoccupied with thinking about Estella’s future that she completely neglected Estella’s feelings. After handing the girl off to the teacher, Sonya turned and left.
The teacher drew her brows together as she looked at the tear-stricken face of Estella. The children who were admitted into the kindergarten were either from rich families or powerful families, so they had to be carefully handled.
Their parents were even more troublesome to deal with than them. If those parents were to find out that their children had cried at kindergarten, she might be fired from her job the next day.
With that thought in mind, the teacher quickly crouched down to console the girl. “Be good, Essie. The kids are waiting for you in the classroom. You’re such a pretty girl; I’m sure everyone will like you!”
It was only when the teacher was talking to Estella did she realize the girl had delicate features and was a silent crier. Hence, her crying did not frustrate anyone—it only made others feel bad for her.
The teacher’s words did not reach Estella at all. Estella just kept crying with her head hung low.
The teacher was stumped. The only thing she could do was lead the girl into the classroom and introduce her to the other children.
As Estella looked sweet and cute, some of the other children soon gathered around her to console her.
Yet, Estella ignored them all, wringing her hands as she continued to sob.
Anxious, one of the children hurriedly grabbed her hand, hoping for Estella to stop ignoring them.
However, the touch startled Estella. As she moved away from the child, she screamed.
“What’s the matter?” the teacher cried out, swiftly approaching the crowd to find out what happened.
Even the children were stunned by Estella’s response. Once they came back to their senses, they began treating her in a completely different manner.
“She’s so strange!”
The children started thinking of Estella as a weirdo. Not only was Estella ignoring them, but she was even screaming non-stop.
At that, the teacher frowned as certain thoughts made themselves known in her mind.
This girl… doesn’t seem normal.
A headache formed in the teacher’s head when she realized that. In the end, she asked the other children to return to their seats as she tried to console Estella herself.
Unfortunately, Estella was unresponsive to anything she said.
Luckily, Estella had stopped screaming; she was now only ignoring everyone.
The teacher gave up, thinking, This is fine as long as she doesn’t disrupt the other kids.
Estella barely participated in any group activities that day.
Even during break times, she continued to sit on her chair in silence.
The teacher started to panic but did not know what to do.
When classes were over, Sonya came to pick Estella up. At the same time, she asked the teacher, “How was Essie? Was she a good kid today?”
The teacher pursed her lips.
She figured that Estella had some kind of psychiatric disorder, but she did not dare to say it to Sonya, a woman from a rich and powerful family.
Hence, she said in as much of an indirect manner as she could, “I… don’t think Essie can adapt to the new environment. She’s quite rejecting of the kids.”
Sonya patted Estella’s head, unfazed. “Didn’t I tell you that you should make more friends? Why are you ignoring them?”
