Archie and Benny had only addressed Sonya as grandma out of politeness, but in the next instant, Sonya snapped, “You two don't belong to the Farwell family, so you shouldn't be calling me that! If you want to see your grandma, ask your mom to take you to her!”
Having said that, Sonya was about to walk around them and leave.
Archie and Benny felt dejected and pained to hear Sonya scold them and deny their relationship. But upon hearing Estella's wails get louder, they regained their senses and stood before Sonya, gritting their teeth.
Seeing Archie and Benny blocking her way, Sonya furrowed her brows, irritated by their persistence.
“We won't call you Grandma anymore, but it's obvious Essie doesn't want to leave. You can't force her! You also know about her situation. She can't continue crying like this!” the two said stubbornly.
“Mind your own business! I will naturally take care of my granddaughter well!” Sonya replied icily before turning to speak to Roxanne. “Control your sons. Tell them to stop blocking my way!”
Seeing Archie and Benny argue with Sonya while she stood in her original spot, Roxanne felt touched.
My heart aches too when I see Essie crying so badly. But as Sonya said, Essie belongs to the Farwell family, so I have no reason to stop Sonya. However, even Archie and Benny have stepped forward. I cannot stand idly by any longer. Moreover, Sonya is treating Estella in such a manner. I wonder how Archie and Benny would feel if they knew their biological grandmother had been refusing to acknowledge them as her grandsons. I would feel aggrieved too if I were in their shoes.
“Although Archie and Benny are not part of the Farwell family, they are just as concerned about Essie as you!” Roxanne walked forward and pulled Archie and Benny behind her. “Essie is crying so badly. If you really care about her, have you considered the consequences of her crying like this?”
Roxanne's and her sons' words rendered Sonya speechless.
After a brief pause, Sonya replied impatiently, “I will bear responsibility for my own granddaughter. There's no need for you to worry!”
If not for these three, Essie wouldn't be crying this badly!
