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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMelody 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?”
Melody looked at her son’s indifference, and her heart sank. She continued speaking, “Or do you still
want to be with that woman? I’ve inade it very clear. I will never accept her. Estie’s disappearance this
Ume is probably her fault too!” She finished speaking only to feel Estie’s chest heaving more and more
in her arms. Melody glanced worriedly, only to see that the little girl was out of breath from crying. She
even started struggling to get out of her arms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWithout a doubt, Melody knew it is because she had spoken ill of Rosalie Jacobs. Melody’s face was
full of displeasure from this realization. “I really don’t know what’s so great about that woman! Estie is
so inseparable from her that she can’t even hear anything bad about her! If this poor baby knew what
had happened in the past, I’m not so sure if she’d still be attached to her!”
If it were not for the fact that Estie was still young and ignorant, Melody would have told her how she
was abandoned by Rosalie back then!
Sensing his mother’s intention to disclose that incident, Byron interrupted her coldly. “This matter has
nothing to do with Rosalie! Last night, if Rosalie hadn’t gone into the mountains
to look for Estie, I’m afraid Estie would have to spend another night in the forest!”
Melody did not expect his defense. She could not say anything more to blame Rosalie at that point.
She kept mum for a while and then reluctantly scoffed. “That’s what she should’ve done!”
Back then, that Jacobs woman left little Estie who was still a swaddling baby. What happened last night
was nothing but a well-deserved reparation she should have given to Little Estie!
