We’ve made up our minds to stay by your side and take care of you!” However, Laura shot them a disgusted look before she lifted her eyes to glance at Alexander standing by the doorway. “Griffith boy, we’ve got some personal family matters to settle.

Turning to look at Elise, he said, “I’ll wait for you outside. Yell if you need anything.”

It was indeed quite inappropriate for an outsider like him to interfere in the Sinclair Family matters, but these two strangers had popped out all of a sudden so he didn’t want to leave Elise and Laura to face the duo themselves. However, Alexander had no choice but to retreat and wait outside. Elise nodded her head. Just as he was about to walk out, Laura voiced out once again, “Elise, you can wait outside too.” Upon hearing that, Elise was taken aback but she obediently murmured, “Sure.” However, she shot a warning look at Joshua and Maureen before turning around to walk out of the room. Subsequently, she left and shut the door gently behind her. She didn’t leave immediately but paused by the doorway for a short while.

From the glass window by the door, she saw quite clearly how Laura pushed the couple aside and made them go down to their knees. Subsequently, both parties seemed to be quite agitated but Elise couldn’t hear their conversation. Elise frowned as she had never seen Laura behave this way. Even when Madeline had been rude toward Laura, the latter didn’t lose her composure at all, unlike today. Meanwhile, Alexander approached Elise and held her shoulders before steering her to take a seat by the side. “You shouldn’t worry too much. Grandma knows what she’s doing and everything will be fine,” Alexander comforted her. “I hope so.” Elise was uncertain about that.

really think that they are Grandma’s family members?” Elise was aware that she was adopted but to her, she was her grandparents’ only next-of-kin so she considered herself to be their actual granddaughter. However, Joshua and his wife had appeared all of a sudden, causing Elise to feel uneasiness welling up within her. She was afraid of being kicked out from a fixed relationship and then she would be left on her own, without any sense of belonging. The truth was always quite odd that way. She

commented, “They might not be. It doesn’t make sense that you haven’t met them at all if they are part of your family. Ultimately, there must have been fundamental issues in the existing family for the family to fall apart this way.” “Elise, you’ll always have me.” Alexander took her hands into his and tried to share some of his body warmth with her this way. “Besides, staying under one roof and having the same blood coursing through your veins doesn’t mean you’re a family.

At that point, he caught on to it and he changed his

“We’re family now. Are you worried that I’ll harm you?” As for Elise, she didn’t respond to his words and only allowed the tense situation to persist. As soon as Alexander saw that, he instantly went forward to talk to Joshua. “Mr. Sinclair, my car’s downstairs.

Hurry up and don’t make me wait for too long, though.” Upon hearing that, Alexander revealed his signature gentlemanly smile and took out a key from his pocket. “Here you go, Mr. Sinclair.” “Okay.” Joshua took the keys in his hands and left before them.
