Roxanne had long guessed Sonya would treat her with an unpleasant attitude. Although she was displeased, she didn't show it on her face.
“It's Essie and Mr. Farwell's wishes that Essie stays here. As you're her grandma, I have nothing to say if you want to bring her back, but I hope you respect Essie's opinions.”
Sonya frowned in displeasure.
I've already asked Essie just now. I wonder what sorcery Roxanne has cast on her to make her refuse to go home. That's why I turned to ask Roxanne, but I didn't expect this woman to be so tactless!
Sonya was livid.
Just then, Estella spoke. “Grandma, I don't want to go home. I want to stay here and play with Archie and Benny.”
Estella looked at Sonya pitifully.
Usually, when Estella wore such an expression, Sonya would have gone along with her wishes. However, she was filled with rage right now, so Estella's look only added fuel to the fire.
“You have to go home even if you don't want to. You belong to the Farwell family. How can you stay at someone else's house all the time and cause them trouble?”
Cowering in fear, Estella replied forlornly, “I didn't cause trouble.” She turned to look at Roxanne, wanting to get her agreement.
Roxanne's heart softened as she met Estella's gaze and nodded with a smile. “You didn't cause trouble.”
Upon hearing that, Estella turned to look at Sonya again, hoping the latter would understand that she wasn't a trouble to Roxanne.
The fire in Sonya's heart burned even stronger when she heard their conversation, but she couldn't vent her anger at Estella.
She raised her head to look at Roxanne, who was standing at the side.
“If you're so free, you might as well spend more time on your two children. Essie belongs to the Farwell family. You don't need to pretend to be nice and look after her!” Sonya said, sweeping a cold glance at Archie and Benny.
