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?"

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.

Without 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!
