“Did you not get a good night's sleep yesterday? You look pale?” Elias asked out of concern.
Roxanne stiffened as she recalled yesterday night's events. “I'm still getting used to this place since | just returned. | didn’t manage to get a good night's sleep yesterday, plus, work has been busy. Ill be fine in the next two days.” Elias nodded his head in acknowledgment. “Work is important, but your health matters too, Young Lady.” With that, he lowered his head and gave Estella, Benny, and Archie a look. “Cand eat.

Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief when she saw how fond Elias was of Archie and Benny.
“Who said you can call him Grandpa?” Sonya suddenly cdown the stairs and glared at them petulantly.
The faces of Roxanne, Archie, and Benny clouded over.
Sonya wouldn't even spare them a glance as she made her way down and toward Elias.
“You should set sboundaries no matter how fond you are of the kids. Grandpa Farwell is still an option. But how could you allow them to call you Grandpa? Only Essie is entitled to that.

It's just a form of address. They can callwhatever they want.” Sonya stared at him in disbelief. “What do you mean it’s just a form of address? You know very well what this means!” Elias effectively ended the conversation as he sat down at the dining table, saying, “The food is getting cold.
Cand eat.” Sonya had to swallow her frustration as she sat down beside him with a scowl.
When she noticed Roxanne, Archie, and Benny sitting across from her, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, “Why are we treating them like family when they clearly aren't? They're just going to fight over our inheritance when they grow up.” Sonya had lost her composure and was acting out during the meal, displaying her anger as if she was afraid no one knew she was upset.
Roxanne couldn't help but speak up in response. “Rest assured, Mrs. Farwell, that the three of us won't spend a single cent of the Farwells’ money while we're here. If you don’t mind, | can transfer the money over to you right away.” Sonya felt as if she was being ridiculed and responded, “Do we look like we care about such a meager amount of money?” Roxanne met her gaze and said, “I know you're not that petty, so just treat us like your guests while we're here.
I'm pretty sure this is not how you would normally treat your guests.”
