"I also did the exact same thing as you. I asked someone to kick Grayson out." As Sonia spoke, she covered her mouth and giggled.
Listening to her words, Rose and Mary were shocked.
"You kicked him out?" Rose looked at Sonia. "Is this true?"
"Yes!" Sonia nodded. Then, she thought of something and took out her phone. After pressing some buttons, she handed Rose her phone with the video on. "Take a look at it, Grandma."
"Let me see." Rose took the phone.
Mary quickly handed Rose's glasses to her. After putting on the glasses, she looked at the screen. When she saw Grayson being dragged out forcefully by two security guards, she laughed happily, "Good job, Sonny. You've done well. This is how you treat people like this!"
Mary agreed too as she was also looking at the video with Rose. "That's right. The more shameless the person is, the more force you must put on them. Otherwise, they will step over you," she said.
"Yes, I thought so too. That's why I told the guards to throw them out." Seeing that they agreed to her actions, Sonia couldn't help but feel proud. After all, anyone would be proud if they were being praised by the elders they cared for.
"However, you've shocked me, Sonny," said Rose as she returned the phone to Sonia.
Listening to her words, Sonia blinked and asked, "Why is that so, Grandma?"
"After all this time, I have always thought that you are a gentlewoman, not someone who is strong enough to kick someone out. That's why I was baffled when I saw the video. However, I am grateful that you have grown up. I like you better now than before. Of course, I'm not saying that you weren't good in the past. It's just that I was worried about you back then as you couldn't protect yourself. However, now that you can protect yourself, I'm not worried that you will be bullied by others and don't know how to fight back even if I'm no longer here. So, I'm delighted by your growth."
Listening to her words, Sonia felt like she was going to cry. She lunged into Rose's embrace and hugged her tightly, feeling sad inside. "Don't say this kind of thing, Grandma. You will live for a long time. Moreover, don't you want to see me remarry Toby and have a child?"
Although she knew that Rose might only live for about two years, she still couldn't accept it when she heard her words. She couldn't imagine how she would react if Rose, the person who cared for her and cherished her, was gone.
Seeing that Sonia was devastated, Rose and Mary looked at each other. Rose knew the reason for Sonia's behavior and was eased by it. After all, she always knew that life and death were destined, and it was almost her time since she was already at this age. So, she was never afraid nor worried about her death. However, seeing that someone was worried and fearful of her departure, she felt warmth in her heart.
On the other hand, Mary had the same feelings as Sonia. When she saw Rose was quickly adjusted when facing death, she was in distress. Thinking about it, she felt that she was about to cry. Thus, she turned her head to the side, not looking at Rose.
Seeing that both of them were sad, Rose sighed and patted Sonia comfortingly. "It's alright, Sonny. Don't be upset. I won't talk about these anymore. I will live a long life like you said, okay?" she cooed.
"Really?" Sonia lifted her head and looked at Rose with her red and puffy eyes. She looked like a baby rabbit.
Rose couldn't help but chuckle as she saw Sonia's appearance. She raised her hand and wiped Sonia's tears away while replying to her, "Yes."
"Okay then. Let's make a promise. Otherwise, I will never forgive you, and I mean it." Sonia raised her chest and looked at her seriously.
"Yes. I promise you." Rose nodded.
However, all of them knew that this wasn't true. Even if Rose promised that she would live a long life, would she really be able to? Sonia knew this too. She knew that there was no way Rose would live for a long time when she only had two years to live. However, she had no other choice but to trick herself.
