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.

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.”

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.
