Chapter 209

Isaac listened intently to Estrella’s instructions, his eyes fixed seriously on Kristin as he mustered all his strength to call out “Grandma. His voice rang out clear and strong, as if he’s afraid that it might not reach Kristin’s ears,

At the sound of “Grandma,” Kristin clutched her chest as if struck by an arrow. “Oh please, Estrella, make him stop. That’s not calling for Grandma. That’s stabbing me right in the heart. I swear, I’m going to keel over because of you two today.”

The title of Grandma was too much for Kristin to bear; Kristin feared that a few more calls from Isaac would shave years off her life.

Estrella barely held back her laughter at Kristin’s melodramatic reaction.

When Isaac saw Kristin gasping for breath, clutching her chest, he hugged Estrella’s neck tighter and cooed again, “Grandma.”

Kristin felt a pang in her heart at the sound, and watching Estrella with her kid was almost enough to bring her to tears.

Estrella was her daughter-in-law, but Estrella’s kid wasn’t her grand-son.

With one hand carrying Isaac, Estrella tried to offer some comfort, “Kristin, Jason is still young, and when he gets married in the future.

Kristin abruptly stopped her, “Estrella, your comforts are like a dagger in my side. Spare. me, or you’ll find me dead right here.”

Struggling to contain her mirth, Estrella covered Isaac’s mouth gently when he tried to “Grandma” again, shushing him softly.

Estrella was genuinely a bit worried at Kristin’s current state, fearing Kristin might faint from anger.

Seeing Estrella covering her mouth and gesturing for silence, Isaac immediately raised h hand, signaling to keep quiet.

Kristin looked up at the mother and son in front of her, observing their hushing gestures. Her heart ached at the sight. When Isaac solemnly shushed her, placing his tiny hand to his lips, Kristin’s heart ached even more, lamenting, “He should have been my grandson, and now I’ve lost that.”
