Chapter 103 Do You Still Want To Get Back With Her?

After returning from the cafe, Melody Bloome became increasingly worried. When Benedict Lawrence got off work, she called her husband to go to the manor together.

Byron Lawrence went to pick up Estie after work. As soon as the two entered the front door, they saw both of his folks sitting on the sofa with solemn expressions. Obviously, they had something to say.

“Dad, Mom, why didn‘t you tell me you were coming over? Is there something wrong?” Byron asked in a puzzled way.

Melody Bloome nodded solemnly, “We need to talk.” Byron understood from his mother‘s serious face.

He frowned slightly, turned to Mrs. Zora, and asked the housekeeper to take Little Estie upstairs. Mrs.

Zora obliged. Estie greeted her grandparents politely and followed Mrs. Zora upstairs. Byron sat down on the single sofa beside his parents, “What made you come here so late?”

“Is Rosalie Jacobs back?” Melody Bloome went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Byron‘s eyes darkened, and admitted frankly, “Yes, we have met.”

Melody scorned coldly, and continued her interrogation, “Why didn‘t you tell us? Don‘t tell me, you still want to get back with her?”

Byron‘s eyebrows creased deeper, and he didn‘t answer immediately.

Seeing his silence, Melody went on a tirade, “No matter what you think, I will never agree to let that woman back into our house! Back then, she just left without a word, she even abandoned her own child. Now she wants to come back? No way, I will never allow it! What if she leaves again? You can take it, but Estie is old enough to understand, can she bear it if the woman leaves again?”

The distressed mother waited for quite a while, but she did not see any response from her son.

Melody‘s tone changed once more, and she bitterly spoke about poor Estie. “Think about it, how did little Estie endure all these years. That child has been weak since she was a child, why do you think so? I would be fine if the woman takes good care of Estie before sending her back to us, but she just left Estie like that, causing her to be sick all the time. Well thankfully for our family‘s resources, we could afford to nurse Estie back to health.

“As a result, Estie has speech issues, people are calling my poor granddaughter a motherless wild child. Don‘t you think this might worsen her condition? It is all that woman‘s fault! If you insist on letting her come back, then I will take Estie away. I will now take care of my granddaughter! I will never hand Estie over to her!” Her son still did not respond after her what she said. Melody Bloome looked anxiously at her husband for support.

She brought Benedict Lawrence here on purpose because his words were more effective than her own.

The elder Lawrence also felt sorry for his granddaughter. Hearing his wife‘s words, he spoke earnestly, “Your mother is right. I won‘t interfere in your affairs, but I do worry about letting that woman come back to take care of Estelle. You should think about it carefully.”

Byron finally reacted a little when he heard his father‘s words and raised his eyes to meet their gaze.

Melody Bloome thought her son heeded their words, so she was relieved. Then she remembered Wendy Fuller‘s aggrieved look that afternoon. She couldn‘t help but reminded Byron, “For all these years, I‘m thankful there‘s Wendy by your side helping to take care of Estie. She is good to both of us like a daughter, too. Wouldn‘t Wendy be better than Rosalie? A girl‘s youth is limited, you can‘t just keep her waiting.”
