Chapter 287 Well-Deserved Reparation
As her son relentlessly blamed Wendy, Melody frowned in dissatisfaction. “Wendy is already blaming herself. She just got back yesterday and came to apologize to us immediately. Why are you still talking to her that way?” After she finished speaking, she looked at Estie who was hiding behind Byron. Estie was still crying, but the sobbing stopped. She just kept shedding tears. Seeing her little granddaughter upset, Melody felt very distressed. Her voice softened, “Estie, you’re a good girl. Don’t cry, sweetheart. Tell me if you’re hurt.” Estie was still fond of her grandmother, so when she heard Grandma’s words, she nodded while sobbing a little. “If you knew where we found Estie, you wouldn’t be asking this question.” Byron looked at his mother deeply.
Melody was puzzled. Yesterday, the phone calls were all made in a hurry. She did not have time to ask, and she certainly did not know the details. He glared at Wendy coldly and said to his mother, “Estie ran into the forest in the deep mountains near the botanical garden. When we found Estie, she had fallen into a big pit where she was stuck inside for a night. Do you think she would be hurt?’ Byron did not only say this for Melody to hear but also for Wendy, hoping the woman would know her place and leave after this.
Hearing what had happened to her granddaughter, Melody’s expression changed. She leaned over to hug the little girl tightly while comforting her. “Oh, you poor baby. Let me hold you, darling. Please don’t run away on your own anymore.” Estie did not resist Grandma’s embrace and stayed in her arms obediently, but she kept sobbing. No matter how Melody coaxed her, it was useless.
Melody comforted Estie for a while, and when she saw Wendy shedding crocodile tears beside her, she was flustered and said to Byron, “Wendy had good intentions. She just wanted to change you and Estie into a bigger room. She didn’t expect Estie to be so upset. Now that Estie has returned safely, all is good. Don’t blame Wendy anymore.” Byron frowned and said nothing.
“Also, Wendy told me you were sharing a room with that Jacobs woman. What is that about? You’re about to get engaged soon. The whole of Coast City knows about your impending marriage with Wendy. 11 word goes out, don’t you think that will greatly embarrass Wendy?”
