Rosalie was preparing lunch with the little ones.Suddenly, the doorbell rang.Rosalie thought it was Byron paying the little ones a visit or Mary visiting her to gossip more about what happened between her and Byron. So, she put down the stuff in her hands and answered the door.However, the person at the door made her freeze on the spot.“Long time no see.”Melody was the one who broke the silence as she observed Rosalie.Rosalie snapped out of her shocked state and greeted Melody as she drooped her eyes, “Mrs. Lawrence.”Melody answered coldly, “Well, let the guess stand outside the door for so long. Is that how you treat your guest?”Rosalie frowned and looked at Melody warily.What Melody did to the research institute last time was still fresh in Rosalie’s mind!They had not seen each other since then.So, Rosalie had no idea why Melody came looking for her this time.Moreover…Subconsciously, Rosalie thought of Estelle, who was still at her house.The last time Melo

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

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

“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

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
