“What are you trying to say?”
Sonya was outraged by her son's ridicule.
“Roxanne might be Essie's birth mother, but I'm her biological grandmother too! How will my visit agitate her? Yes, I realize that I used the wrong method in educating Essie previously, but I have apologized for it and promised not to behave that way again!”
Lucian pinched his forehead as his frustration with his mother began to grow. “I'm glad you know that you're responsible for what has become of your relationship with Essie.”
Even though Lucian didn't know what his mother did for Estella to resent her so much, he had learned his lesson from what happened with Aubree.
In fact, details weren't important. What truly mattered was Estella's will.
Thus, Lucian would keep those Estella resented away from her until she was willing to forgive them.
With nothing to counter Lucian with, Sonya felt her exasperation grow. “No matter what, I'll never hurt Essie!”
Lucian agreed with a nod. “I know, but you're still not patient enough. Besides, if you're really concerned about her, you should understand what her true needs are.”
Sonya obviously knew what they were.
“What are you trying to say?”
That little girl can't help but stick to Roxanne like glue now.
That was the exact reason she was upset.
When something suddenly occurred to her, she suppressed the anger in her heart.
