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
Byron noticed the guilty look on his mother’s face and his face turned gloomy as he warned the last time.“Whether it is Estie or my marriage, I will take care of it. What you think is good for me may not be the correct choice for me.”What he meant was to ask her to stay out of the matter.Melody was both angry and guilty. “I’m doing this for you.”Byron said nothing more.His mother was so obstinate that whatever he said was pointless.“Estie is my granddaughter. Of course, I care about her. I wanted to take her back to my side, but she was crying for you, so I sent her here!”Melody regained her confidence and said, “Even if Estie accepted Rosalie, she has two other kids. How about the two children if you are planning to marry her again? Are you going to hand over the Lawrence family’s property to two unknown...children?”She tried hard not to use the word ‘brats’.Melody had not considered so much before this.However, now it worried her to see Byron care so much about th
After comforting Estelle, Byron walked out of her room.While walking back to his study, he recalled Melody’s attitude toward Estelle. He frowned as he took his phone.He could imagine that his mother must have been unkind when she brought Estelle home. After all, Estelle had been crying so much.However, Byron had no idea what Melody had said to Rosalie.He could not ask Estelle because that might make her cry again.After thinking about it, Byron felt he needed to call Rosalie.If his mother had said something harsh, he could apologize on her behalf....Rosalie had been having dreams in her nap because of Melody’s sudden visit.In her dream, Estelle cried out for her, but Estelle was out of her reach.The dream hurt so much that Rosalie still felt gloomy after waking up.Before she could sober up, her phone on the desk rang.Rosalie picked the phone up and saw it was a call from Byron.She could only think of two possibilities since Byron called her at this hour.He mi
Rosalie squinted her eyes.If she kept a distance from Byron and Estelle, Wendy and even Melody might not make things difficult for her.The closer she got to Byron, the crazier the stuff Wendy would do.The thought of the woman putting the bacteria in Estelle’s food twice made Rosalie feel fear.“All this time, you haven’t been thinking?” Byron’s forehead puckered as he asked.Rosalie’s attitude was strange. He would not let her hang up the call so soon.At the camp, Rosalie seemed like she had already suspected someone.However, she was not willing to share it with him.Something else must be going on.Rosalie was moved when she heard his question, but she insisted.“Haven’t you sent someone to keep an eye on the situation? I don’t think I’ll be able to notice anything if you didn’t.”Byron frowned and did not reply immediately.He found nothing because he had sent someone to follow Kevin secretly.Therefore, Kevin did not appear around Rosalie’s side and was not anywher
