Despite her attempt to tone down her tone, Roxanne's voice remained cold and harsh when it came to matters related to Archie and Benny.
Sonya was left speechless, her fork hanging mid-air as she paused to process what was said. Finally, she spoke up, “Well, I hope you'll look after your sons and ensure they don't address Elias however they want.”
Benny looked at Roxanne before turning to Sonya and defending his mother without any hesitation. “But Grandpa is very happy when we address him as such. We can address you in another way since you don't like us calling you Grandma.”
Sonya turned red with anger at Benny's remark, knowing he was right.
The dinner table was suddenly heavy with tension.
Roxanne was taken aback by Benny's comment but acknowledged that he was right. After all, Elias and Sonya were their grandparents in reality.
Instead of calling Benny out for ridiculing his grandmother, she gave Elias an apologetic look.
Elias nodded reassuringly, “Let's calm down and enjoy our meal. We're adults, so we shouldn't let kids' words get the best of us.”
After that, Elias served some food to Sonya's plate to calm her down. “Relax. After breakfast, I'll take you out shopping. Didn't you mention that you liked a particular bag last time?”
A combination of different emotions played across Sonya's face as she stared at the food Elias served her.
“Hmph. You're taking their side,” she grumbled. “I can't eat this meal anymore. You can continue eating if you like.”
She then shot Roxanne a cold glare before heading upstairs.
After a while, Sonya came back downstairs dressed in different clothes and quickly left the house.
