Chapter 1458


    Puzzlement inundated Elias. “Why? You''re Essie''s grandmother. Why would Roxanne forbid you from


    visiting Essie? Is there some misunderstanding between you both?”


    At that, Sonya sighed bitterly. “What misunderstanding could there be? She never liked me when she


    left six years ago. That aside, I''d always wanted Lucian to be with Aubree and objected to her being


    with him. Thus, she holds a grudge against me.”


    While saying that, she hung her head and nestled into the man''s embrace as though she had suffered


    untold grievances.


    Subsequently, she added, “She''s already treating me in such a manner now when she hasn''t gotten


    back together with Lucian. What should I do if she were to really marry into the Farwell family in the


    future? Am I going to be prohibited from visiting my own son and granddaughter?”


    Elias knew absolutely nothing about the issue between the two women.


    After hearing his wife''sints, his first reaction was to mediate a peaceful resolution.


    “There must be some misunderstanding between the two of you. Everything will be fine after talking


    things out.”


    At the end of the day, he didn''t believe that his son would take an interest in a petty woman.


    When Sonya noticed that the man showed no signs of siding with her, panic swamped her. She even


    eked out some tears.


    “It''s all on me. I shouldn''t have poked my nose into her rtionship with Lucian. But it wasn''t me who


    forced her to leave six years ago. After she left, I even searched for her for a long time. And now, she


    wants toe back. What does she take the Farwell family for?”


    “It''s all on me. I shouldn''t have poked my nose into her rtionship with Lucian. But it wasn''t me who


    forced her to leave six years ago. After she left, I even searched for her for a long time. And now, she


    wants toe back. What does she take the Farwell family for?”


    Tightening his grip on her, Elias stated solemnly, “I''ll ask Lucian about it.”


    Only when Sonya heard that did she feel somewhat gratified.


    Right then and there, Elias took out his phone and gave Lucian a call.


    Meanwhile, Lucian was working in the study.


    As soon as he saw that his father was calling, he could surmise that his mother must have said


    something to the man upon her return.


    However, he knew that Elias rarely interfered in his rtionships.


    Without giving it further thought, he answered the call. “Is something the matter, Dad?”


    Elias'' baritone voice rang out from the other end of the phone. “Where''s Essie right now?”


    “At her mother''s ce,” Lucian answered honestly. Then, he asked, “What about it?”


    “Your mother ims that Roxanne didn''t allow Essie to approach her. What''s that about? Does she


    have some misunderstanding toward your mother?”


    Verily, that was the only possibility Elias could think of.

    Lucian had known that his mother would undoubtedlyin to his father after returning home, but


    he had never expected her to make such a bogus im.


    “It''s all on me. I shouldn''t have poked my nose into her rtionship with Lucian. But it wasn''t me who


    forced her to leave six years ago. After she left, I even searched for her for a long time. And now, she


    wants toe back. What does she take the Farwell family for?”


    His head throbbing, he put aside the work at hand and exined patiently, “It''s true that Essie isn''t


    close to her these days, but I can promise you that it isn''t because of Roxanne.”


    Hearing that, Elias lowered his eyes and studied the woman in his arms. “Are you saying that it''s your


    mother''s fault?”


    At a loss for words, Lucian went silent for a few seconds in contemtion before borating, “Precisely


    speaking, there''s some misunderstanding between her and Essie. For some reason, Essie has a slight


    aversion to her. It has nothing to do with Roxanne.”


    Elias'' eyes brimmed with confusion.


    Essie has an aversion to Sonya? We watched Essie grow up, and I''ve seen how much Sonya doted on


    her. All this while, their rtionship had been pretty great. Why has that changed recently?


    Seemingly having guessed his father''s thoughts, Lucian added, “If you''re worried, you can go and see


    for yourself. I''ll tell Roxanne about it. You can go over anytime.”


    It so happened that Elias wanted to go and have a look personally. Hence, he agreed without any


    hesitation when he obtained that reply. “It''s decided, then. I''ll go and pick Essie up from kindergarten


    tomorrow evening.”
