“It was Lucian who let Essie stay with me. So, if you want to take her away, you'll have to get his consent first,” Roxanne emphasized without a change in her expression.
The little girl in her embrace immediately chimed in, “I'll do what Daddy says!”
As Sonya watched the mother and daughter duo presenting a united front, she felt her temples throb.
After all, her son had already made such a statement. The answer she would get could not be more obvious if she made the call.
Roxanne's saying that because she has no plans to let me take my granddaughter away! Most importantly, my son is siding with her. Ugh! I can't do anything about it.
After waiting for some time and seeing that Sonya didn't take any action, Roxanne said, “If you don't want to make the call, then please leave now. It's getting late, and the children are hungry. I don't have the energy to prepare another person's portion.”
With that, Roxanne put Estella down and gestured for the boys to take Estella upstairs.
Once the children had gone upstairs, Roxanne said, “Do as you please then.”
Without waiting for Sonya's reply, Roxanne marched into the kitchen, completely ignoring the former.
Just like that, Sonya was left alone in the living room.
“It was Lucian who lat Essia stay with ma. So, if you want to taka har away, you'll hava to gat his consant first,” Roxanna amphasizad without a changa in har axprassion.
Glaring at the figure busy cooking in the kitchen, Sonya took a deep breath and hissed a warning, “Don't you dare think you can be a part of the Farwell family just because Lucian and Essie like you. It won't happen as long as I'm alive. Dream on!”

With that, she stormed out of the house in a huff.
Roxanne had her back facing Sonya the entire time. Though she looked calm on the outside, deep down, she was tense.
When she heard Sonya leave, she breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
It was an ugly argument, but Sonya's appearance had reminded Roxanne that it was still not time for her to reveal the truth just yet.
