    Sophia figured out her son wanted to have a private chat with her, so she turned to Aiden and Alex and


    said, “Alrighty, you guys go do your homework and Granny will make dinner for youter.”


    Aiden sensed something was up, so he just nodded quietly.


    Alex just straight up asked, “What’s Granny and Dad gonna talk about?”


    Aiden pulled him back, “Zip it, it’s none of our business. Come on, I’ll help you with your homework.”


    Alex tried to say more, but Aiden cut him off, “No more questions.”


    In the study. Sophia walked in and plonked herself on the couch.


    She looked totally chill, not worried in the slightest about her son’s uing interrogation.


    Emmett frowned, saying to his mother, “Tell me, why did you pull this stunt?”


    Sophia looked puzzled, “What are you talking about?”


    Emmett asked, “Why did you say that stuff to ra?”


    Sophia shrugged, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. What did I say to her?”


    Emmett pressed on, “Did ra do something bad to the kids? Did you see it with your own eyes?”


    Sophia got up and walked over to her son, “I was just giving her a heads–up to be good to the kids. I


    can’t gamble with my grandkids getting hurt. I just wanted ra to understand that this is the Melendez


    Group’s home, and it’s my grandkids‘ home”


    Emmett clenched his fist, “Mom, aren’t you afraid that ra and I will have misunderstandings because


    of this?”


    “This is the Melendez family!” Sophia reiterated.


    Emmett took a step back, eyeing his mother seriously. “Why has ite to this? You’ve always wanted


    me to find a good partner, and now that I have. this is how you treat her? Haven’t you considered the


    predicament you’re putting me in?”


    “Of course I’ve considered your situation. But you’re an adult now, you can protect yourself. My


    grandkids are still young and naive. If ra really treats them badly, they might not be able to express


    it. What I did, was just to make ra understand their ce in our family.”


    “There’s absolutely no need for this!”


    “I absolutely feel there is!” Sophia stood her ground, “She’s their stepmother after all! No matter how


    great you think she is, she’s not their biological mother! Yes, I agreed to ra joining our family, and I


    hope you and ra will be happy together, but that doesn’t stop me from protecting my grandkids! If


    ra doesn’t have any intention to mistreat them, then she can simply ignore what I said!”
