Lawrence Manor. Late night. Byron walked light-footed into Estie's room and tucked the quilt around her.The little girl was sleeping soundly. After watching her deeply for a while, he then turned to leave.The moment he came out, he saw Luther coming up to him to report, "Master, I went to that restaurant to look through their surveillance, but it was broken, and we found nothing."Hearing this, Byron frowned. "That coincidental?" The restaurant's surveillance was broken just as he was having suspicions? Luther looked a little troubled and added hesitatingly, "Maybe it is a coincidence, after all, the lady... No, Miss Jacobs has been gone for so long. We haven't heard from her for years and it's unlikely that she will suddenly appear in the country."Saying that, he looked at his master's expression, and it instantly sank.Luther felt his heart tighten. He lowered his head and said nothing."I understand."Uttered Byron mysteriously before he turned around and went into

Lucian followed his gaze and saw the little girl they had met the night before.The little guy's good-looking brows twisted slightly.Estie was watching them at this moment as she clapped along with the other children.Noticing that they were looking at her, an imperceptible excitement flashed through her big, watery eyes.She did not expect to meet the two brothers here.While they had only met once, she had unconsciously taken a liking to the two, she was not sure why either. However, Lucian and Nox had already looked away when she looked at them."Well, you two go and sit down first. There are two empty seats there. Would you like to sit together?"The teacher pointed to the two empty seats beside Estie.Lucian and Nox were stunned. They did not say a thing, they just nodded and went to sit down.Looking that the two little brothers walking toward her, Estie’s eyes lit up as she watched them longingly.They were obviously sitting beside her, yet they did not look like th

Estie took a painful fall, she also felt really wronged and subconsciously rubbed her little hand, her eyes red. She sniffled and got up from the ground. Then she grabbed a small notebook from the table and began writing stroke by stroke. The kids saw this and found it weird. The little nonverbal child could not speak and would usually write in the notebook to communicate with them.However, since not many people played with her, the little notebook made sparse appearances. Soon, Estie was done writing and she flipped the small notebook over to show JoJo what she had written. [Apologize.]Seeing the word on it, JoJo scoffed. Hand on her waist, she asked, "You dare ask me to apologize? Estelle Lawrence, you're getting bold. You looking to get beat up!?"Saying this, she walked toward Estie angrily with her arms out to push her. Estie did not expect JoJo to make a move and had no time to react at all, frozen in place. Lucian and Nox had been observing this scene. JoJo pu

Rosalie knew nothing of what had happened at the kindergarten.She went to the research institute her teacher had set up in Somerland to report herself after leaving the kindergarten.She saw a handsome and elegant man dressed in a pressed shirt and pants coming toward her the moment she entered the research institute."Rosalie, welcome back. I'm glad to be able to work with you again from now on."Yves Graham stood in front of her and extended his hand toward her in a gentlemanly fashion.Rosalie nodded slightly as she reached out to shake his hand before quickly pulling away.Yves had also worked with Quentin's team back then to execute R&D matters abroad.During that time, Yves had worked as her assistant. Since he graduated from a famous school, his ability had been commonly recognized by her and Quentin. Rosalie's attitude was neither hot nor cold and Yves did not mind it either. He smiled and said, "I'll bring you to your office."With that, he turned to lead the way whi

Hearing her question again, Yves Weatherby put away his smile and said sternly, "I'm already trying to solve this problem."Rosalie Jacobs frowned and looked at him, waiting for the following sentence."Recently, I contacted a medicinal material supplier, and we have already discussed long-term cooperation. All that’s left is to sign the contract. The appointment to sign the contract has also been agreed upon which will be tomorrow afternoon.“The reason why it has not been smooth before is that the research institute has been in the early construction stage. Many complicated and trivial matters need to be dealt with, plus the manpower was unstable. It was only during this period that all things finally went on the right track.“In addition, the medicinal materials in Coast City are monopolized by the large medicinal materials merchants, which resulted in a shortage of supply. Moreover, we are newcomers to the industry, hence these merchants maliciously raise prices. As a result, w

Byron’s brows were slightly furrowed and there was irritation in his gaze.Had his eyes deceived him again?Once or twice, he could let it slide but it had been two consecutive days of him seeing that silhouette at two different places.It was just that…that silhouette had only flashed by before his eyes, and then there was no trace.Byron could not help hissing coldly as he looked away.He must truly be possessed to be thinking of that woman again and again!"Sir, the customer has been waiting for a long time. Are we not going to go in still?"Luther waited for a bit, but after seeing that his master had not moved, he had asked cautiously.Byron closed his eyes. After sorting out his emotions, he calmly answered, "Let's go."With that, he strode in with long legs.Luther hurriedly followed.…When Rosalie and Yves arrived at the box seat, the staff from the research institute had already arrived.Yves asked her to take a seat in the main seat while he sat beside her. Then

“I’m really sorry, are you alright?”Seeing the other’s drunken state, Rosalie was vigilant as she apologized repeatedly in a way that she was hoping to avoid trouble if possible.Saying that, the person in front of her started smiling maliciously suddenly instead. His voice was a little erratic, “Hey beautiful…I’m just fine. You’d know if you joined me for a few drinks! Make me happy and I won’t nitpick on you today!”Rosalie frowned slightly. Aware the man in front of her was obviously drunk and being unreasonable, she did not intend to pay any more attention to him. She lowered her head and thought of bypassing him from his side.The drunk's voice sounded again the moment she reached his side. "Don't go, beautiful! I’m very rich. If you agree to come with me, I’ll make sure you have the time of your life forever!"He chortled lecherously twice as he said this and his eyes roamed Rosalie’s body unscrupulously. The beautiful woman in front of him had a delicate and beautiful fa

There was no one in the booth.After Byron entered, he closed the door by the way.For a time, they could only hear each other's breathing in the booth.Rosalie looked around, feeling a sense of danger for no reason, and started struggling violently."What are you trying to do? Let go of me!"In the next second, the man had effortlessly pressed her into the corner.Their bodies were almost touching each other.The man's hot breath fanned her ear.Rosalie immediately ceased her struggling and leaned against the wall. She straightened her body rigidly, even unconsciously slowing down her breathing.At this distance, her chest could bump into the person in front of her if she breathed a little heavier.There was dead silence in the booth.Rosalie clenched her teeth; her mind was in a state of chaos.No matter how long had passed, the man still made her feel an intense sense of oppression.It was just that…their relationship had already changed.Rosalie pinched her palm hard

The man’s hot lips covered hers and their breaths intertwined.Rosalie’s mind instantly went blank.She did not expect Byron to do this!The man gripped her chin in his hand, trying to force her mouth open.Rosalie suddenly came to her senses and began struggling. “Byron Lawrence, let go of me! Have you gone mad? This is a public booth! Anyone could come in at any time!”Byron retreated some distance due to her struggling. Hearing this, he said coldly, “So what? Weren’t you the one who said you were going to compensate me? Are you scared now?”Rosalie was slightly shocked. Recalling the experience that night, she felt a burst of resistance.Byron had no consciousness at all that night, likely due to the drug she had given him.Now, the man’s scent lingered and was even mixed with the faint smell of alcohol.Hearing what he said, Rosalie even began to tremble imperceptibly.Noting that she was not responding, Byron’s gaze turned dark. He leaned over and kissed her again.It w

Rosalie had nowhere to go after she ran out of the private room and could only hide in the stairwell.She leaned against the wall and was breathing heavily. Not forgetting to raise her hand, she touched her lips that hurt from being kissed, it felt as if the man’s body heat was still on them.A moment later, Rosalie lowered her gaze with self-mockery.She thought she no longer had feelings for Byron after so many years but did not expect her heart to be thrown into disarray after meeting him once. Rosalie returned to the booth after a while when her emotions had stabilized. The staff inside were still having fun and when they saw her come in, they only restrained themselves a little.Yves noticed she seemed a little different from before she left and frowned slightly. “Where did you go off to for so long? Did something happen? You…look kind of off?”Rosalie smiled and shook her head as if nothing had happened. “It’s nothing, I just called my sons.”With that, she went and sat
