Upon hearing what Estelle said, Shawn instantly lost his cool and his face darkened. After giving Tony a look, the latter soon stopped the car by the road. Shawn got out of the car immediately to open the door on Myra’s side. With a gentle tone, he made a request. “Miss Stark, I would like to speak to Estelle for a bit, so can you perhaps sit beside Tony for a while?”
Stifling a laugh, Myra got out of the car while ignoring Estelle’s glare. After that, Estelle remained obedient throughout the rest of their journey home without giving them trouble. The peaceful time was short-lived though, for it ended as soon as they arrived at Hart Residence.
Sebastian sulked when he saw Estelle coming home alongside Myra. In a deliberately snarky tone, he questioned pointedly, “Why are you here? Didn’t you say that you hate this place?”
“I didn’t come here of my own volition! I wouldn’t have come here if it weren’t to make sure that you aren’t bullying Myra!” Estelle retorted.
Sebastian’s face flushed as he was fuming. He was worried that Myra would be hungry because she didn’t get enough to eat during dinner, so he already had the maid prepare some supper for her. As soon as he heard the sounds of the car, he hurried toward the door, only to witness Estelle—the ill-tempered girl in his eyes—getting out of the car.
“Me, bullying Myra? Haha, I will never do that!” Sebastian yelled with all his might.
In resignation, Shawn looked toward Myra for help. They sure blew up as soon as they saw each other. Myra, you’re the only one who can help me.
After getting his signal, Myra let out a chuckle before reaching out to hold Estelle’s hand. “Old Master Hart, Estelle is my best friend. Can she spend the night here in my room, please?”
“No!” Two people made that exclamation simultaneously, with Sebastian being the first and Tony being the second one to oppose the idea.
In fact, Tony had a morose look on his face after hearing what Myra suggested. Pulling his lips into a thin line, he looped an arm around her waist. “Myra, you’re pregnant, so you need to be more careful. What if Miss Langley presses her weight on you at night because of her bad posture?”
“Yeah, with her wild streak, she can’t possibly find our beds comfortable!” Sebastian chimed in.
“Grandpa.” Shawn sighed. “Estelle will be staying with me. She will get used to it, so don’t worry.”
Sebastian choked on his own words upon being cut short by Shawn. After grunting in anger, he growled, “Although I brought you kids up, you don’t even listen to me! Just when I thought I will have an obedient granddaughter-in-law, it turns out that she isn’t going to listen to me either! I don’t care anymore. You can do whatever you like!”
Sebastian whipped around before leaving the scene. Although he was angry, Myra noticed that he had essentially made a compromise. On the other hand, Estelle stared at Sebastian’s retreating figure without a word. “He was the one who picked a fight with me! I didn’t want to bicker with him.”
“I know. You’ve already sacrificed enough for my sake as things are.” Shawn kissed Estelle on the forehead.
Upon hearing his comment, Estelle was feeling embarrassed instead. She fidgeted for a bit before mumbling in a soft voice, “I shouldn’t have lashed out at him like that. Despite his fierce appearance, he is actually a softie on the inside. I should have shown some restraint and let his words roll off my back.”
With a smile, Shawn praised her by saying, “Yeah. My girl has grown up now.”
