The photos fell before Denise and Elmore.
Although Elmore was dim-sighted from old age and didn’t see the contents of the pictures, he heard the sarcasm in Becky’s voice. “What is the meaning of this? You invited us to have dinner with you. Is this a good way to treat your guests?”
The sarcastic smile on Becky’s face did not fade. “Take a closer look at the pictures and see for yourself. If you still don’t understand, demand an explanation from your granddaughter.”
Becky’s words infuriated him. As Elmore reached for the photos, Denise wanted to snatch them away from him. But his cold stare scared her. He could be very dangerous when he was angry.
On a closer look, Elmore saw that Denise was talking with a man at a cafe in the pictures. He narrowed his gaze at Becky and gave her a questioning look.
“What has Denise and her friend drinking coffee together got to do with you, Becky?”
Elmore’s ignorance made Becky realize that he wasn’t aware of the viral news about her online.
Becky gave Talia a meaningful look. Talia nodded and quickly took out an iPad, logged into Twitter, and handed it to Becky.
Becky handed the iPad to Elmore. “People are calling me all sorts of bad names on the Internet. And this is all Denise’s fault.”
Immediately Elmore saw the caption which read “Becky has loved Rory for many years,” his mouth hung slightly open in shock.
After reading the article, the look of shock on Elmore’s face faded.
Elmore was not a child. His many years of experience gave him a hint about what must be going on.
