"Or… Do you want to give Estie's custody back to her?" Melody went straight to the possibility of remarriage between the two.Byron heard this, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.Melody said to herself, "I watched Estie grow up, and I will never allow you to hand her over to others!"Byron watched his mother’s words spiral out of bounds, he pressed his temples to calm his headache and spoke calmly."It's not what you think. Two days ago, Estie was infected with bacteria and fell ill. Now she is recuperating at Miss Jacobs'."He did not believe a single word of Melody's arrogant remarks just now. Instead, he felt that his mother knew what happened two days ago.There was nothing to hide right now.With his blunt frankness, Melody finally had a legitimate reason to get angry."Estie is sick, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?! You even put her with Rosalie Jacobs!"Byron frowned and said nothing. On this matter, he never bothered to argue with his mother."That wom
Rosalie was preparing lunch with the little ones.Suddenly, the doorbell rang.Rosalie thought it was Byron paying the little ones a visit or Mary visiting her to gossip more about what happened between her and Byron. So, she put down the stuff in her hands and answered the door.However, the person at the door made her freeze on the spot.“Long time no see.”Melody was the one who broke the silence as she observed Rosalie.Rosalie snapped out of her shocked state and greeted Melody as she drooped her eyes, “Mrs. Lawrence.”Melody answered coldly, “Well, let the guess stand outside the door for so long. Is that how you treat your guest?”Rosalie frowned and looked at Melody warily.What Melody did to the research institute last time was still fresh in Rosalie’s mind!They had not seen each other since then.So, Rosalie had no idea why Melody came looking for her this time.Moreover…Subconsciously, Rosalie thought of Estelle, who was still at her house.The last time Melo
Rosalie had expected that attitude from Melody.However, Rosalie was still annoyed when she saw Melody taking her for granted, but she did not show it.“It was Byron and Estie’s decision to let Estie stay in my place. Mrs. Lawrence, you are Estie’s grandma. I have no objections if you want to take Estie back, but I think you should respect Estie’s decision too.”Melody frowned.She had asked Estelle just now.However, Estelle seemed reluctant. She began to suspect Rosalie must have swayed Estelle into this.That was why Melody chose to ask Rosalie instead.Unexpectedly, Rosalie answered her in that way.Melody, who was already angry, heard Estie’s cute voice.“Grandma, Estie doesn’t want to go back. Estie wants to play with Estie’s brothers.”The little one tried to persuade Melody with a sad look.Melody would have given in if she had seen Estelle like this usually.However, anger had overpowered her now, and Estelle’s act had made her anger boil more.“You have no choice
Grandma was just a polite term that the little ones chose to use.Unexpectedly, Melody scolded them for it instantly.“You are not a part of the Lawrence family. Don’t call me grandma! Ask your mother to get a grandma if you want one so much!”With that, Melody wanted to walk around the little ones and leave.She suddenly snapped at the little ones, denying their relationship outright.For a moment, the little ones felt sad.However, they snapped out of their emotion when they heard Estelle crying louder. They stood before Melody with their teeth grit.Seeing the two little ones standing before her stubbornly, Melody frowned impatiently.“We don’t call you grandma anymore, but Estie doesn’t want to go with you. You can’t force her like that!”The two little ones put on a firm expression as they continued. “You know Estie’s condition. She can’t cry all the time.”Melody retorted, “You’d better take care of yourself first! I will take care of my granddaughter!”Then she turned
Melody had taken Estelle away, and they could do nothing.Rosalie could only take the little ones back to the villa.The lunch, made by the three kids together, ended up being made by Rosalie alone.Rosalie prepared the lunch absent-mindedly, with complicated feelings surging in her. She called the little boys to have lunch.However, there was no response from them even after she called twice.So, Rosalie approached the little boys in a puzzle.The two little ones sat absent-mindedly on the carpet in front of an unmoved Lego model.“What’s on your mind?”When Rosalie saw the little ones were depressed, she squatted before them with concern.Then, the little ones came to their senses and looked at each other without speaking.They were thinking about what grandma had said.The little ones were so preoccupied with getting their little sister back that they had no time for their emotions.However, grandma had gone away with Estelle, and the little ones were sad about what had
After lunch, the two little ones ran back to their room, saying they wanted to nap.Rosalie also felt a little tired. So, she also took a nap after washing the dishes.On the second floor, in the little ones’ bedroom. The two little ones who were supposed to be asleep sat opposite each other on the edge of their beds. They looked visibly sad.“Brother, I’m so sad.”Nox pursed his lips as his eyes gradually turned red.The little one had always been sensitive, not to mention being scolded by their grandma like that.Their grandma had even taken Estie away with her…Lucian glanced at his brother.Noticing the tears shimmering in his brother’s eyes, Lucian sat beside Nox.“You can feel sad but not cry.”Nox pouted his lips upon hearing that. “Why does grandma talk to us like that?”He had just called Melody grandma out of politeness, but Melody scolded him.Thinking of Melody’s stern scolding, the little one could not stop the tears from welling up in his eyes.Lucian natural
Thirty minutes later, Melody’s car pulled over slowly at the gate of Lawrence manor.The little girl was silent in the back seat.Melody thought the little one had stopped crying all the way home. She was relieved.Unexpectedly, she saw tears all over the little one’s face when she opened the back seat door.The little one was tired of crying. Even though Estelle remained silent, tears still flowed down her cheeks.When Melody opened the door, she did not respond. She did not even turn her head this way.Seeing her granddaughter sobbing silently, Melody felt sorry for her.“Why are you crying? Do you like that Jacobs woman so much? Isn’t grandma nice to you?”Melody hugged the little one in her embrace and comforted her.The little girl in her arms shook her head as she sobbed.Melody felt despair, thinking Rosalie had brainwashed the little one, making her dislike her grandma.Melody’s dissatisfaction with Rosalie grew.She was about to say more when the little one suddenl
“Estie, be a good girl. Grandma will carry you. Please don’t cry.”Melody tried to coax the little one patiently.Unexpectedly, the little one cried louder after Melody tried to coax her. She cried so hard that she was gasping for breath.Seeing the uncontrollable situation, Melody reluctantly gave the little one to Byron.When Estelle was in her father’s arms, her cry gradually faded, turning into a sob.Looking at the little girl’s sad appearance, Byron did not have to ask her why she was crying.His mother must have used despicable means to take the little girl back from Rosalie’s place forcefully.“You’ve spoiled her.”Melody started to scold Byron in displease. “That woman was the heartless one years ago, yet you let Estelle get so close to her! How many times have I asked you to stay away from that woman? Well, look! Estie is now reluctant to go back home now.”Although the little girl did not know what grandma was talking about, she could sense that grandma was telling
