Chapter 1386:
Emmett and his new wife were the last people Elsa wanted to see.
“I’m not sure what’s up, but maybe you should check for yourself.”
For a moment, Elsa hesitated. She didn’t want to face Emmett and his new wife, but the idea of them talking about childcare with Rosanna unsettled her. The thought of her granddaughter being left with a woman who’d never raised children herself was more than she could stomach.
Determined, Elsa hurried toward Kenny’s place. As she neared the front door, voices inside reached her ears.
“Emmett, Shari, I’ll be returning to work and training in two months, and I want to discuss taking care of the child with you,” Rosanna said. Original content can be found at fιɴdnοvel.net
Kenny spoke up. “Honestly, I just don’t feel comfortable leaving my little girl with a nanny. No matter how qualified, a stranger’s still a stranger. Dad, have you thought about retiring yet? Would you consider taking care of my daughter?”
Elsa could hardly contain her anger after hearing that. How many times had she offered to look after her granddaughter? She was retired, had all the time in the world, and had made her wishes clear more than once. Yet, she was refused every time. Now, instead of letting her help, Kenny and Rosanna were thinking about letting Emmett and his new wife take care of the child?
Her frustration building, Elsa jabbed at the doorbell.
Kenny answered the door.
“Mom,” he said, unease flickering across his face. He cast a nervous glance back, knowing this wasn’t going to be a peaceful morning. “Weren’t you supposed to have a lecture at Shirie University today?”
Ignoring his question, Elsa strode inside without hesitation. Just as she thought, Emmett and Shari were already there. Shari’s youthful outfit made her look far younger than she actually was, and it grated on Elsa’s nerves.

Emmett, too, made an effort to look younger.
Emmett and Elsa didn’t bother to greet each other.
Shari offered a polite greeting. “Elsa, I thought you were teaching at Shirie University now?”
Elsa’s answer came out cold. “I decided not to go. My priority is looking after my granddaughter, and I don’t trust anyone who isn’t related to her around her.” The meaning in her words was clear. She was talking about Shari.
Shari’s face tightened, though she didn’t say anything more.
Emmett bristled, unwilling to let the comment slide. “Elsa, you can’t just make that decision. It’s up to Kenny and Rosanna who cares for their daughter!”
Rosanna, choosing her words carefully, said to Elsa, “Taking care of a baby isn’t easy, and you’re not as young as you used to be. I’m worried it could wear you out.”
Elsa shot back. “Fifty-six isn’t old! I’m still fit enough to handle a toddler. If you don’t let me take care of the child, are you going to let Shari do it? She’s got no blood tie to your child! Meanwhile, I’m your child’s grandmother. I care about her deeply. Besides, Shari still has to work. She doesn’t have time to take care of your child.”
