    Chapter 1048 I Will Hit You


    The teacher nced at Este 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 theye 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 Este’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 Este and asked, “Right, Essie?” Este 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 Este’s original school reminded Sonya of Roxanne and her two boys.


    Este 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?


    With those thoughts in her mind, Sonya turned furious. She had to get Este to say something to


    her. “Do you want to go back to your old school?” Sonya questioned with an icy look on her face.


    Este pursed her lips. Right as she was about to nod her head, Sonya continued speaking.


    “I put a lot of effort into finding a new kindergarten for you. Can you bear to let me down? The kids here


    like you too. As long as you can ept them, you’ll surely be good friends with them,” Sonya said,


    completely ignoring the fact that she had given Este hope before cruelly crushing it.


    Tears soon sprang into Este’s eyes. Sonya froze. In the next second, Este’s tears fell


    uncontrobly, and she began bawling in front of the kindergarten.


    “Ah…” Out of habit, the teacher stepped forward, about tofort the girl. However, Sonya pulled


    Este over to herself and uttered, “Stop crying!”


    Este bawled even louder. She had been living with Lucian all this while. Although Sonya knew about


    her condition, she had never seen Este in a meltdown.

    Her temples throbbed even harder at the sight of the girl’s crying, and she became extremely


    frustrated. “Stop crying!” she yelled by the girl’s ear. Startled, Este paused for a few seconds.


    She resumed crying a momentter. The teacher panicked, but she did not dare to take a step closer to


    the girl and her grandmother.


    When Sonya realized that threatening Este worked, she lifted her hand as if she was going to hit her


    in the next instant. “If you keep crying, I’ll beat you!”


    Frightened out of her wits, Este hupped and started crying in silence instead.


    Sonya had no idea that the girl was frightened. Instead, she thought that her method worked, and she


    stood back up in satisfaction.


    The teacher’s heart ached after she saw how Sonya treated her.


    “I’ll talk to her when we get home. I’m sure she’ll be more cooperative tomorrow.”


    With that, Sonya lifted Este into her arms and turned to leave.
