Hearing this, Wendy glanced down at her arm in a cast, then raised her eyes and smiled at Rosalie nonchalantly. "This isn’t a big deal, but it happened two days ago while I was out with Aunt Melody. I was accidentally scratched by a car. Thankfully, Aunt is fine, and my injury is nothing." The implication was to let Rosalie know she got that injury trying to save Mrs. Lawrence.Rosalie naturally understood her words, smiled, and replied indifferently, "Wow, you and Mrs. Lawrence have such a good relationship. I’m sure it’ll be smooth sailing for you when you marry into the Lawrence family. If there isn’t anything else, I need to go now. It's getting late, and the children are sleepy."After speaking, she turned around to leave without waiting for Wendy to say anything.Just as she turned around, someone grabbed her wrist.Rosalie frowned and turned to look at the woman behind her.Wendy looked at her pitifully, "Actually, there’s one more thing I want to tell you. I wish to apol

When Wendy came out of the stairwell, her calm expression suddenly changed. She scampered into the toilet, gritted her teeth, then gently bumped her plastered arm against the wall. For the next few seconds, pain was written all over her face.Looking at the clock, it was almost time for Melody’s daily visit. Wendy hurriedly climbed the stairs and returned to her ward.Her arm was already in severe pain. After climbing six to seven floors in one breath, Wendy's forehead was covered with cold sweat by the time she returned to her ward.Byron was waiting in the ward. Seeing that she had not come back, he was about to call her when he heard movement at the door."Byron, you're back." Wendy's voice sounded a little desolate.Byron nodded noncommittally. "Where have you been?"After Rosalie left with the little boys, he went to the orthopedics department to look for Wendy, but he did not see anyone. Hence, he returned to the ward, but she was still nowhere to be seen.Wendy pursed her

"You tell me, Wendy." Melody knew that her son would not open up easily, so she turned to Wendy.There was a trace of panic on Wendy's face, and she glanced at Byron beside her, her brows furrowing helplessly.After a long while, she lowered her eyes and explained softly to Melody, "Miss Jacobs brought her two children to the hospital just now, and we met. I saw that one of her children wasn’t feeling well, and it reminded me of Estie. I felt uneasy, so I let Byron help her."Wendy was afraid Melody was not convinced, so she quickly added, "I mean, Byron didn't plan to go."She nervously looked at Byron, an implication that the man just followed her wishes and went down the stairs to help Rosalie.Naturally, Melody did not believe such a statement and looked at her son with a sullen face. "Is what Wendy said true? She’s injured, but you went to check on someone else's children instead?"Byron deeply frowned and said nothing.Melody knew her son well and knew that his silence was

Wendy dared not look into her eyes. She just bit her lip and nodded.Melody stood up suddenly, "Let's go. I’ll take you to have your arm checked."After saying that, she was about to open the door and call Byron.Wendy hurriedly grabbed her hand and stopped her. "Aunt, don't tell Byron. My relationship with Byron has finally eased up. If you force him, I'm afraid everything will backfire.”Melody thought about it. After a few seconds, she felt what Wendy said was reasonable, so she nodded and agreed.Wendy got off the bed and let Melody support her. The two left the ward together.Byron got up and tried to keep up with them, but Melody glanced back at him. "I'll take Wendy out to get some fresh air. You just go do what you want to do. Don’t feel obligated. I don't expect you to be so meticulous."Byron was too lazy to bicker with his mother over these things. These days, taking care of Wendy was like an added task for him. Now that his mother said so, he felt even more relaxed.

It was late after Melody left the hospital. She was livid, but she still went back home.This time, she must confront that Jacobs woman and get an explanation. She would also make sure she gave Rosalie a piece of her mind! As for what she was going to say to the woman, it must be carefully thought out.Melody had all these thoughts swimming in her mind all night.It was one sleepless night.The next morning, Melody simply ate breakfast and asked the driver to take her to Rosalie's house.Rosalie was eating breakfast with the little boys.After Nox took the medicine, he got better. He ate breakfast with gusto.Seeing that the boy was as energetic as usual, Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief.She wanted to take the boys to the research institute after breakfast but did not expect an uninvited guest to appear.The little boys were still eating when they heard the doorbell. Rosalie got up and opened the door.Seeing the person at the door, Rosalie's heart sank slightly. She turn

Rosalie knew that Melody’s prejudice against her could no longer be reversed as the older woman had always been on her high horse, judging her. Well, there was no need to reverse her perceptions anyway since they would not have any contact in the future.Thinking of this, Rosalie's mood slowly calmed down. "Mrs. Lawrence, you can rest assured that not everyone is interested in your son. Or at least, I’m not interested in him. I only keep in contact with him for Estie’s sake. With your reminder this time, I’ll pay more attention in the future and stay away from President Lawrence."As for Wendy's injury, Rosalie was unsure if it was related to her. She decided not to mention it again.Melody scrutinized her for a long time as if to explore the truth of what she said.After a while, she frowned coldly. "That's for the best. You'd better remember what you said today."Rosalie nodded slightly. "If there’s nothing else, I have to go back to take care of my children, so I’ll leave first

Evidently, Melody had heard the conversation between the two.However, she had already decided that her son and Wendy Fuller would marry each other, and she had already warned Rosalie to stay in her lane.Therefore, Melody did not bother to interfere with the entanglement happening behind her. She just leisurely took a sip of coffee.Melody even had a disdainful smile on her face after hearing Rosalie's footsteps leaving.This was the case with disgraced, lowly women who could not get what they wanted. If one intimidated them a little, they would know their place. Such a woman could not be a part of the Lawrence family."Sit down." Only then did Melody turn her head to look at Byron. She motioned for him to sit down opposite her.Byron fumed and frowned, his eyes full of suppressed anger as he took a seat opposite his mother.The coffee in front of him was ordered by the woman just now. She obviously had not touched it.Thinking of what she said to his mother just now, the crea

Melody looked at Byron’s expression, and her heart gradually became cold.She knew her son all too well.The calmer Byron was, the more power his words held. It was not the first time he had told her not to interfere in the matter between him and that Jacobs woman.What position did this woman hold in his heart? How could her son show this attitude to her?Melody frowned and slowly calmed down before she gritted her teeth. "When you’re telling me this, what exactly do you take Wendy for? She’s been waiting for you for so long. Do you think you can disregard her with a single word? How is that woman better than Wendy? After that woman ruthlessly abandoned Estie, isn’t Wendy the one who’s been taking care of Estie with you for so many years? Whether it's you, Estie, or us elders, Wendy has been nothing but kind to us!”Byron's eyes were covered with a thin layer of frost. "Do you really think she’s done nothing wrong?”Hearing this, Melody was startled. She even subconsciously do

Byron meant every word he said. He would never marry Wendy.Hearing this, Melody only felt her temples throbbing violently. She raised her hand and pressed her temples as she looked at her son opposite her. "You came here early in the morning to piss me off, didn’t you?"Byron did not budge. "If you're feeling unwell, I can take you to the hospital now. However, if you still want to threaten me to marry Wendy, I can only say that it's impossible." The two sat in silence for a long time.Melody waved at him angrily. "Hurry up and go. Don't linger in front of me."Byron nodded noncommittally. Before leaving, he did not forget to say, "I’ve left someone at the door. You can tell them if you need anything."After speaking, he strode out of the cafe without waiting for Melody to respond."President Lawrence, are you going back to the company?" The driver asked respectfully when he saw him getting into the car.Byron paused. Rosalie's residence flashed in his mind.‘I wonder how

Due to Nox’s physical condition, although he felt better after taking his medications, Rosalie still insisted that he rested at home for another day. She asked for sick leave for the boys and got Lucian to stay home to accompany his brother.Meanwhile, Little Estie did not see the brothers in kindergarten for two days in a row, let alone the beautiful aunt. Hence, she became very depressed.Originally, under the influence of Lucian and Nox, the children in the class would play with her. However, for the past two days, the children began to alienate her again due to her resistance.During recess, Little Estie was sprawled on the table alone, looking at the seats of the two little brothers with a sullen look. She was hoping that they would suddenly appear."Estelle Lawrence, what are you doing?" A child could not help but come over and ask her a question.Little Estie, however, seemed to have not heard him and clawed at the table by herself."Come and play with us!" the child invit
