When Elias and Sonya reached the kindergarten, school had not ended yet.
They went to find Jeffrey so that they could see Estella.
Jeffrey said politely, “Please wait here for a while. I'll go to the classroom and bring Essie here right away.”
Soon, Estella came skipping into Jeffrey's office as she thought she was getting rewarded.
Upon seeing her grandparents, she happily charged into Elias' embrace.
“Hahaha! Essie, did you miss me?” Elias carried Estella into his arms and smiled dotingly.
“Of course! I missed you, Grandpa!”
Elias' stubble pricked Estella, causing her to feel a little pain. “Grandpa, your beard is prickly!”
Elias laughed heartily and ignored Estella's reluctance, pecking her on her cheek. “I missed you too! It's been so long since we have seen each other.”
Sonya felt slightly uncomfortable watching their interaction. She scolded, “Don't you miss me too, Essie?”
Did that woman teach Essie not to be close to me?
Suspicion appeared on Sonya's face, causing Elias to glare at her. He reminded her softly, “What are you talking about?”
“I missed you too, Grandma! I love your pastries! It's been a long time since I ate them! I really want to eat them!” After Elias placed Estella on the ground, she went up to Sonya and opened her arms for a hug.
Sonya felt better upon hearing Estella's words and carried the latter into her arms with a smile.
Jeffrey tactfully decided to leave his office so that Estella's grandparents could spend some time with their granddaughter.
