“Any hot topics recently?” Yves noticed that she was scrolling on her social media for a while, so he asked her out of curiosity.Rosalie retracted her thoughts and smiled nonchalantly as she replied, “Nothing much. I just saw some gossip.”With the state of her current relationship with Byron at that moment, all Byron-related news was indeed merely gossip to her.Yves wanted to have a chat with her, so he continued the conversation. “What kind of gossip? Anything happened to artists recently?”Rosalie did not expect him to continue the conversation. She was taken aback and mumbled in reply, “Not an artist. I don’t remember what their name was as well, so I just clicked in randomly.”Before Yves could add to the conversation, Rosalie changed the topic subtly. “This project is pretty time-consuming, right? Even I find it a little tough.”Yves' eyebrows rose subtly as he changed the topic just as Rosalie desired.Rosalie got off work early today, and with Yves driving her around,

Seeing that it was time for the kids in kindergarten to be out of school, Byron slowly put away his thoughts and drove to the kindergarten.According to Estie’s usual practice, he would probably bump into that woman at the kindergarten as well.When he arrived at the kindergarten, even though he was not that late, that woman and the two little fellas had already left.Estie had already gotten used to waiting for her daddy with the two boys, but now, she was left alone, clutching onto Miss Leigh Ann’s hand timidly.“Mr. Lawrence, you’re here.” Miss Leigh Ann knew about Estie, so she was also careful with her.When she saw that Byron had arrived, she breathed a secret sigh of relief.Byron nodded as he took Estie over from her hand.Even after entering the car, Estie’s mood was still not as lifted.Byron frowned. He could not help but ask, “Why were you alone today?”The little girl knew what he was asking. She lowered her gaze, her kiddy voice a little sulky as she said, “Aunt

After hearing his mother’s words, Byron smirked mockingly. “If I don’t have plans to go through with that, what do you think Wendy should think about herself?”Shock flashed through Melody’s eyes and transformed into rage. “What the heck are you talking about? Wendy’s waited for you for so many years, and think of the number of sacrifices she’s made for you! You dare tell me now that you don’t intend to go through with it? The news of our two families coming together has been circulating out there for so many years. Didn’t you think of what the world would think of us if we ever called off the union?” Byron snapped coldly, “Why did you think I’ve never responded to this for the past six years? I’ve already told you before that I don’t need you getting involved in this. I’ll handle it!”The underlying meaning was that he indeed had no intentions of going through with the engagement with Wendy.Understanding the meaning between the lines of his words, Melody’s face fell.She had in

After sitting in the living room for a while, Byron got Mrs. Zora to get Estie down for a meal.Estie had been obediently staying in her room. When she thought about what Grandmother had said and imagined how the beautiful aunt was going to be her mommy, she really looked forward to it.While they were eating, she could not help but ask, “Daddy, are you marrying Aunt?”While she was done, she looked expectantly at her daddy.Since this little girl came back, even if she did not speak a lot with him and only just said a few short phrases, this was her first time saying such a long sentence in one breath.Byron was stunned for a while before noticing the little girl’s issue. He thought about what this little girl was usually like toward Rosalie, and an odd feeling rose in his heart. “You like her a lot?”Estie nodded as a matter of factly.The beautiful aunt was her favorite person!Byron looked at how elated the little girl became while talking about that woman and his eyebrows

On the other hand, Rosalie brought the kids home and was hesitating if she should invite Yves into the house. He noticed her hesitation and smiled like a gentleman. “It’s late, so I should get going now. See you tomorrow.”Rosalie let out a sigh of relief and waved him goodbye with a smile.Seeing Yves’ car driving away, Rosalie proceeded to bring the two boys in. Lisa had already prepared dinner and quickly brought the dishes up to the table. 　Rosalie treated Lisa as her family as well. They would sit and eat together during dinner. In between the meal, Lisa asked with a smile, “Miss Jacobs, have you seen the news today? The photos of you and President Lawrence…”Lisa coincidentally saw the news online this afternoon and realized that the press had mistaken Rosalie as Byron’s fiancee. She was amused by it, but at the same time, she thought that they looked good together. As she was just about to tease her, Rosalie stopped her. “No big deal. It’s just a misunderstanding. J

After talking to Byron, Melody immediately called the Fullers once she got home. Wendy did not want to hear her employees mentioning how good Byron and the woman looked together because of the news, so she stayed at home these two days. When Melody called, she was just beside Magdalene.“I’ve already talked to Byron. Tell Wendy to rest assured. This won’t happen again. Just wait for the engagement!” Melody’s voice came from the other end of the phone. Magdalene took a glance at Wendy and motioned her to answer. Wendy adjusted her emotions and thanked her nicely, “Thank you, Aunt Melody.”Hearing her voice, Melody was taken aback. After thinking about what Byron mentioned before to call off the marriage agreement, she felt even more guilty toward her. “Wendy, you’ve been wronged.” Wendy’s expression turned ugly, but she still spoke in a decent tone, “I’m fine, Aunt Melody. As long as I can be with Byron, I’m fine with anything.” Melody felt sorry for her. “Don’t worry. I’l

Although she drove as fast as she could, when she reached the cafe, Wendy was already sitting there waiting. 　“Miss Jacobs, you’re indeed a busy woman. It took you long enough to get there.” The moment she saw her, Wendy started to mock her. 　　Rosalie sat opposite Wendy and genuinely apologized, “My apologies. I was really busy this morning. Thank you for waiting so long.” That being said, she noticed that Wendy wanted to mock her more. However, she did not want to waste time and said, “Miss Fuller, you probably know by now that I’m really busy. Let’s just cut to the chase. I still have to get back to work after this.”　Hearing so, Wendy’s words were choked back down her throat. Her expression turned cold. “Don’t you already know what I want to say? My marriage with Byron has been publicized for so long. It’ll be a joke if you don’t know about it!”Rosalie had expected her to mention this, yet she did not show any strange looks on her face. “I do know it, and you have my blessi

The time she got out of the cafe was way earlier than she expected. When she got into the car, Rosalie held the steering wheel without starting the engine. Her brain was messed up. After staying abroad for six years, she thought that she could be ignorant about whatever had happened back then. However, she did not expect to still be affected when Wendy mentioned it.In fact, she did not know the existence of Wendy when she married Byron back then. If she did…Thinking of her infatuation with Byron back then, Rosalie bit her lower lip mockingly, thinking that she might still marry him shamelessly.Yet, the happier she was to marry him, the more miserable she became when she left him. Who would have imagined the only time they actually slept together after getting married for so long was the time she drugged him?Plus, she had to leave in her worst condition the next morning. Now that she thought about it, she found the previous her to be pitiful and pathetic. What was mo

”Mommy, aren’t you happy?‘On the way back home, the two boys stared at her caringly.She was taken aback.She thought that she had concealed her emotions well in front of the kids, but they still managed to see through her.“What is it?” She took a glance at the two boys behind and asked as though there was something going on. Lucian frowned with confusion on his face. “You didn’t talk to Estie just now. Did Mr. Byron annoy you again?”Hearing the kids mentioning Byron, Rosalie felt complicated. She had no idea how close she had gotten to Byron during this period of time that the boys had such a misunderstanding.Nox agreed. “Estie was about to cry earlier.”Hearing that, Rosalie could not help but frown. She felt a brief heartache. Although she did not see it with her own eyes, she could imagine how pitiful the little girl looked. She would want to say a proper goodbye to the little girl if she could.However, she really had to cut all ties with Byron after hearing wh

Rosalie was initially worried about the two boys, but Mary said that she had already mentioned it to Lisa.Plus, the two had already reached the entrance of the bar.Rosalie did not hesitate further and went in with her. Mary was obviously a frequent customer here as there were already people welcoming her the second they entered. They brought them to a table near the dance floor. Surrounded by the deafening music and handsome men and beautiful women dancing, Rosalie slowly let go of herself in the hot atmosphere.“Tonight’s bill is on me. Let’s have fun!” Mary shouted beside her. That being said, they ordered a bottle of liquor that cost more than 10,000 dollars. Mary poured a glass for Rosalie. “There’s plenty of fish in the sea. We shall not be obsessed with only one of them!”Rosalie took the glass and downed it in one shot. Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Mary smiled in satisfaction. She had drunk a few times with Rosalie back in college and knew that although Rosal
