Chapter 1048 I Will Hit You

The teacher glanced at Estella before turning to Sonya. She then rephrased her sentence. “It’s not that Essie is ignoring the other kids; it’s that she screams when they come close to her.”

Then, as if life was trying to prove the teacher’s words, Sonya noticed a few children who were getting picked up by their parents whispering as they looked in Estella’s direction. Along with the teacher’s words, Sonya could guess what those children were whispering about.

“Our Essie takes a while to warm up to strangers. It’s her first day here, after all. I hope the teachers will be more patient with her,” Sonya said, maintaining her polite demeanor. “Essie will be a good kid once she’s used to them.”

Then, Sonya lowered her head to look at Estella and asked, “Right, Essie?” Estella pressed her lips tightly together as she continued to hang her head. It was as if she did not hear Sonya.

Sonya furrowed her brows and crouched down patiently. “I’m talking to you, Essie.” The girl blinked before looking away from Sonya.

“I think it’s best for Essie to return to her previous school. The girl will feel safer with people she knows around her,” the teacher suggested.

The mention of Estella’s original school reminded Sonya of Roxanne and her two boys.

Estella was her granddaughter. Yet, the girl seemed close to Roxanne and her boys while being exceptionally distant from her, her own grandmother. In what way am I not treating her well?
