Chapter 1530 Can We Call You Grandpa Despite her attempt to tone down her tone, Roxanne’s voice remained cold and harsh when it came to matters related to Archie and Benny.
Sonya was left speechless, her fork hanging mid-air as she paused to process what was said. Finally, she spoke up, “Well, | hope you'll look after your sons and ensure they don’t address Elias however they want.” Benny looked at Roxanne before turning to Sonya and defending his mother without any hesitation. “But Grandpa is very happy when we address him as such. We can address you in another way since you don't like us calling you Grandma.” Sonya turned red with anger at Benny's remark, knowing he was right.
The dinner table was suddenly heavy with tension.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRoxanne was taken aback by Benny's comment but acknowledged that he was right. After all, Elias and Sonya were their grandparents in reality.
Instead of calling Benny out for ridiculing his grandmother, she gave Elias an apologetic look.
Elias nodded reassuringly, “Let's calm down and enjoy our meal. We're adults, so we shouldn't let kids’ words get the best of us.” After that, Elias served some food to Sonya’s plate to calm her down. “Relax. After breakfast, I'll take you out shopping. Didn't you mention that you liked a particular bag last time?” A combination of different emotions played across Sonya's face as she stared at the food Elias served her.
“Hmph. You're taking their side,” she grumbled. “I can’t eat this meal anymore. You can continue eating if you like.” She then shot Roxanne a cold glare before heading upstairs.
After a while, Sonya came back downstairs dressed in different clothes and quickly left the house.
“I apologize for interrupting your meal, Mr. Farwell,” Roxanne said apologetically.
Elias waved her away and turned to Catalina. “Send someone to look after Sonya. Buy her anything she wants and keep me informed of her whereabouts at all times.” Catalina nodded and immediately assigned tasks to the staff.
“Don’t mind her. She's just stubborn. She'll treat you well eventually when she comes around. Just look at how she treated Aubree in the past six years.” After making sure Sonya was taken care of, Elias spoke up for her.

“Gran...” Benny stopped mid-sentence and gave it some thought before asking in cautious tones. “Grandpa Farwell, can we still address you as Grandpa?” Even though he had ridiculed Sonya brazenly just now, he couldn't help but feel guilty now that she had left in anger.
Roxanne’s heart ached for Benny when she heard his tone and turned to Elias nervously as well, worried that he would say no.
However, Elias seemed to be taken aback by Benny's question. He stared at him for a few seconds before replying with a smile.
“Of course, you can. I've always wanted a grandson. You two make up for my regret as you are so well-behaved.” Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing his words and shot Elias a grateful look.
“Grandpa!” Archie and Benny called out in delight upon receiving Elias’ affirmative answer.
