After dinner, the Old Master went upstairs to rest.Rosalie followed him upstairs and gave him another check-up. Once she came back downstairs, she bid everyone goodbye.Andrius said, “It’s late. Why don’t I send you home?”Rosalie declined with a smile. “It’s alright. You have other guests, so you should stay and keep them company.Andrius did not continue to insist. He simply said, “In that case, have a safe trip home. Oh, and don’t take my grandfather’s words to heart. He’s getting older now, so he’s always worried about these pointless things.”Rosalie smiled, then turned and left.“It’s late and I still have work to take care of. I have to take my leave too,” Byron said in his low voice as he watched Rosalie walk out of the villa.Alarms rang in Wendy’s head, and she quickly stood up to leave as well. “I was just going to head out myself. Let’s go together.”Byron rejected her calmly. “No, it’s fine. We’re heading in opposite directions. See you.”He turned and left witho

As soon as she said that, a silence fell over the car.Rosalie realized what she had just said and regretted it, so she lowered her gaze and stayed silent.Byron stared at her side profile intently, an unreadable look in his eyes.Was she really so averse to him? How could she blatantly try to push him onto Wendy like that?After a moment, he said coldly, “She’s busy, so she won’t be leaving any time soon.”Rosalie gripped the steering wheel angrily.Wendy was too busy to send him home, so why was she obligated to?Still, the person next to her would not be moved. No matter what she said, he would not get out of the car so easily.Rosalie had no choice but to start up the car again and drive away from the Quirkes’ villa.At the same time, Wendy strode out of the door. When she caught a glimpse of Byron’s face in the rearview mirror, her expression immediately turned ugly.As Rosalie’s car disappeared into the distance, she hurriedly jumped into her car and followed them.Onc

Rosalie had vaguely overheard Mrs. Zora’s words over the phone. She was a little worried to hear that Estie was not feeling well too.As soon as she heard Byron’s request, she turned the car around and sped up toward Lawrence Manor.Twenty minutes later, the car came to a gradual stop outside Lawrence Manor.Rosalie was worried about the little girl, so she looked at the man beside her rather anxiously. “Take care of Estie, and feel free to call me anytime if you need me.”Byron looked at her meaningfully. “If you’re so worried, why don’t you come in with me? Besides, Estie obviously adores you. She’s unwell now, but she’ll probably feel better if she sees you.”With that, he opened the door and stepped out of the car, heading toward the manor on his own.He seemed to be telling her that it was up to her whether she wanted to go inside or not. He would not force her either way.Rosalia frowned slightly as she watched him walk away.If Estie was feeling unwell, shouldn’t he ask

Her thoughts coming back to the present, Rosalie suppressed the strange feeling in her chest and approached the three people in the manor.Estie had a fever right now, but her eyes were still bright. When she saw Rosalie, her eyes seemed to sparkle as she stared intently at Rosalie.Rosalie gave her a concerned look.Estie immediately held out her hands for Rosalie.The latter instinctively glanced at Byron.Seriously, this little girl… She was sick, but she wanted a stranger to hold her over her father’s embrace.Rosalie wondered what Byron would think.The man simply offered Estie to her calmly.Rosalie hesitated for a second before taking the little girl from him.As soon as she held her, she could feel the girl’s warmth. Estie felt like a tiny heater in her arms.Estie plastered her face against the pretty auntie’s. Rosalie felt nice and cool, and Estie narrowed her eyes happily.“Her fever’s pretty high.” Rosalie held the little girl a bit tighter and asked her gently,

Seeing Rosalie, Byron, and Estie together, Mrs. Zora grew even more nostalgic for the good old days. Thinking she wanted to give them some time alone, she exchanged a few pleasantries with them before quietly stepping away.All of a sudden, the three of them were alone in the living room.Byron looked at Rosalie and Estie, his gaze dark.Sensing his eyes on her, Rosalie turned away and carried Estie to the couch, trying to put her down.Estie could tell what she was planning to do, and her large eyes screamed her displeasure. She held on tight to Rosalie’s shoulders, refusing to let go.Rosalie had no choice but to sit down on the couch, comforting her gently, “Estie, good girl, you’re sick. You should sleep early. I’ll tuck you in, okay?”Estie buried her face in the crook of Rosalie’s neck and shook her head wordlessly.Rosalie frowned slightly. “Do you not want to sleep?”The girl in her arms nodded and turned around in her embrace, reaching out her hand for a little noteboo

Just when she started taking care of Estie, the phone in her bag rang.Rosalie Jacobs instinctively covered the little girl’s ears afraid of waking her up. She was about to get her bag but noticed that the man had already stood up and brought her mobile phone."Thank you," Rosalie whispered. She glanced at the caller ID and felt vexed. She was so preoccupied with the little one in her arms and actually forgotten about the two boys at home."Mommy!" As soon as the call was connected, the voices of the twins rang out, "When are you coming back?"Rosalie lowered her voice, "There is a delay tonight, I will be late tonight. Now, have you had dinner?"The two little boys sounded very concerned, "We've eaten, how about you, Mommy? Don't just think about work, you have to take care of yourself too!"Rosalie's heart was moved by their concern. She smiled, "Don’t worry, I've eaten too. Don't wait for me, go rest early.""Alright, Mommy. Come back early, don't exhaust yourself too much!

When Byron heard the little one’s cries, he raised his head and looked over.Rosalie Jacobs tried to soothe Estie by patting her gently on the back soothingly, but her sobbing became louder. Her tiny figure broke free from the blanket and crawled into Rosalie's arms, her two little hands tightly clutching the woman’s clothing.Estella continued crying. Then with tears blurring her sight, she opened her eyes and stared at Rosalie's face. When Estie was sure that Rosalie Jacobs was still there, her sobbing gradually eased. Seeing the little girl's already flushed face becomes redder from crying, Rosalie Jacobs felt a pang of heartache, as if she saw her twins through Estie’s tearful face."Estie, I’m here. Don't cry anymore, your pretty eyes will swell, and it will hurt." Rosalie Jacobs reassured her softly and gently wiped the tears from the little girl’s face.Estella cried too hard and couldn't stop her chest from heaving, her tears continued to flow. She held on to Rosalie’s blou

For a long while, it was complete silence in the living room.Byron Lawrence took a glance at the sofa and saw the young woman was holding little Estie in her arms. She leaned on the back of the sofa, asleep.The young woman was cradling Estie in her arms, hence her upper body posture was awkward. She slumped unsteadily, drifting in and out of sleep. However, every time she was half asleep and half awake, she would subconsciously hug the little child tightly. Byron’s heart was touched slightly looking at them.Mrs. Zora came to check on Little Lady again. As soon as she approached the sofa, Young Master gestured for her to keep silent by putting his finger to his lips.Seeing this, Mrs. Zora slowed down and cautiously leaned over and glanced at the two of them. She couldn't help but smile at their sleeping faces.Sure enough, the mother-daughter bond between Young Madam and Little Lady can never be severed.Although Estelle hasn't seen Rosalie for several years, the Little Lady

Rosalie Jacobs was indeed exhausted. She usually sleeps lightly, but today she slept so soundly that she was carried into the guest room upstairs without realizing it.Byron Lawrence walked to the edge of the bed, leaned over, and lowered the young woman on the bed. He placed her head gently and then slowly got up.Mrs. Zora followed them all the way. Watching the Young Master take care of Rosalie, the smile in her eyes grew brighter. She stepped forward and put Little Estie next to Rosalie. She covered the two with a quilt, then quietly got up and stepped aside.Noticing that her Young Master's gaze was still on Young Madam's face, Mrs. Zora said with concern, "Young master, you should also go and rest. I’ll be here. Don't you have to work tomorrow?" The Young Master frowned in response, shaking his head, "It’s alright, I'm not tired. Estie is still unwell and I'm worried. You get some rest."Mrs. Zora's eyes twinkled knowingly.The Young Master said he was worried about the li

Rosalie Jacobs paused and looked back in confusion.Byron Lawrence frowned deeply, "It's four o'clock in the morning, you’ve barely slept. I wouldn’t dare let you drive back like this. Besides, if you leave now, I can't possibly explain to Estie. You promised her that you won’t leave, if she wakes up tomorrow and can't find you, she will throw a fit. She might even run directly to your house. Estie has not fully recovered, what if she gets sick again?"Rosalie Jacobs frowned at his request. The dream just now had made her uneasy and she didn't want to stay any longer around this man.However, she did promise the little girl that she would not leave...Seeing her dismayed look, his face darkened, and his tone became cold, "Don't worry, the only time that Estie can trouble you is now. In the future, if it's okay, I won't let her disturb your life again."After that, he released his grip around her wrist.Rosalie felt that his words sounded a little thorny and strange, which made he
