S31 2. Painful Rejection

“Well,” Frank sighed faintly, “we don’t really know each other. We’ve never met, let alone talked.”

Diana turned away, as if she couldn’t bear to look at Frank any longer. Frank’s heart became increasingly burdened.

“But judging from the look in your eyes just now, you clearly know that I am Rowan Harper’s grandson-your grandson.”

Diana turned her head further. Her tears thickened. “I don’t know that name. Please stop claiming to be my grandson. I never had a grandchild.”

Frank swallowed bitterly. He was mistreated by his father and grandfather, then he was abandoned by his mother. Now he was disowned by his grandmother?

Before he realized how cruel the reality of his life was, Kara froze his

sadness.

“Frank,” he turned, “I think you’d better not discuss it now. Give Mrs. Johnson some time, hmm?”

Diana glanced at Kara with furrowed eyebrows. “I don’t need time. I will never acknowledge anyone who isn’t my grandson. So, stop bothering me!”

“Grandma Diana!”

A toddler’s voice suddenly broke the tension. Everyone looked over.

Jeremy turned out to be running with Louis and Emily on each arm. The two toddlers waved and laughed.

“Grandma Diana!”
