“Granny, I think the way you’re treating mom is hurting her feelings! Even though mom is a stepmom, she’s always been really good to us! You keep doubting her intentions, I’m sure it’s making her feel bad”
“You don’t understand, grandma is thinking about you!”
“I know.” Aiden nodded, “But Granny, isn’t the most important thing that our family is happy? You fighting with mom all the time is putting dad in a tough
spot too.”
Sophia suddenly laughed, “You’re still so young, how do you understand all this?”
“I just want everyone to be happy! I don’t want to see mom crying in private anymore.”
“Ah, you’re still a kid, you don’t understand anything! When a woman cries, it doesn’t necessarily mean she’s truly upset, she could be putting on an act! That’s what grandma worried about. As long as it involves you and Alex, grandma needs to be on high alert! If Clara can pass the test, great! If not, it only proves my testing is more meaningful! This is about you and Alex’s future.”
“Granny…”
“Enough! I have made some delicious food for you guys, it’ll get cold soon! Go have some.” Sophia clearly didn’t want to continue the topic anymore.
Aiden could tell, so he dropped it.
“Thanks Granny, I’ll come eat after I finish my homework.”
“Good boy.”
Watching Aiden leave the study. Sophia’s brow furrowed, her dissatisfaction with Clara increased a bit more.
She thought, “Aiden is still young, why would he come and talk to me about this? Clara must be complaining to Aiden behind my back, using Aiden against me! This woman’s intentions are becoming more and more clear.”
Sophia fell silent for a moment.
She won’t let anyone get the chance to hurt her two grandsons.
In the evening, Clara worked overtime until ten o’clock, then returned home with Emmett.
Not long after, Emmett was called into a meeting by Ricardo.
She knew the company was busy lately. Seeing Emmett so tired, she was thinking about making him some food. He might be hungry late at night.
As she was thinking, Clara caught a glimpse of Sophia walking towards her out of the corner of her eye!
She was taken aback, and quickly spoke up, “Sophia, you haven’t gone to bed yet?”
“Uh–huh, I was waiting for you”
Clara had a bad feeling. “Is there something you need?”
“Of course there is.” Sophia glanced at the direction of the study, then turned around and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Clara had no choice but to follow, she didn’t even dare to take a deep breath.
“Aiden came to see me today”
Clara remembered what Aiden had told her earlier, she didn’t expect the kid actually went.
“Did you tell Aiden to say those things to me?” Sophia looked at her, clearly displeased, “They’re still young, are you putting those ideas into their heads. for some reason?”
Clara immediately waved her hands, “Mom, I really didn’t teach Aiden to say anything. I’ve reduced the time I spend with Aiden and Alex, I just told them not to upset you and to try to spend more time with you.”
“Do you think I’m a child?” Sophia frowned, “Alex and Aiden might be easily fooled by you, but I won’t be.”
Clara felt somewhat helpless.
She didn’t understand why Sophia suddenly had this attitude towards her.
Wasn’t it always good before?
Even if she didn’t really like herself, she never made things difficult for herself like this!
“Mom, I really don’t have that much thought! The company is also very busy right now, when I come back and see the kids are already asleep. I try not to disturb them as much as possible.”
“Then why would Aiden say things that only adults would say? Could it be that he learned that from you?”
