It was the weekend the next day, and the boys did not need to go to kindergarten.Rosalie had planned to take them to the research institute.As she was just getting ready to head out, she heard the doorbell ring.Rosalie only thought that Mary had come over, so she got up to open the door.When she saw the person standing at the door, Rosalie's brows suddenly knitted together. "Estie? Why are you here?"With that, she subconsciously looked up and around, thinking that Byron would be waiting in the distance.Unexpectedly, there was no other figure at the door except for Estie after she looked around.Rosalie retracted her gaze. She crouched down and looked into the little girl's eyes. "Tell me, how did you get here? Did your daddy send you here?"Based on Byron's attitude toward her at the kindergarten yesterday, it was highly unlikely that he would let Estie come find her.Rosalie could only think of this possibility at present, however.Estie was wearing a white dress and c

Byron stopped working abruptly. "I'll head back right away!"He hung up the call and hurried back to Lawrence Manor without stopping."What happened? How did she go missing when there were so many of you watching?" Back at the villa, Byron asked in a deep voice.The servants stood in the living room fearfully. Under the pressure of his anger, they were afraid to look up.The housekeeper spoke carefully, "We aren’t sure ourselves... The little lady returned to her room after having breakfast this morning. Mrs. Zora went up to look for her but found that she already disappeared."Byron frowned. “What about surveillance?”The housekeeper mourned. "Master, I’m not sure when… the monitors were switched off. We just happen to not have surveillance from this morning."Hearing this, Byron’s expression sank abruptly.The living room was silent.Everyone lowered their heads in fear, wanting very much to hide within the cracks in the ground.Who would have thought that the little lady w

Rosalie searched for Byron's number from her contact list.She had deliberately saved Estie's father's phone number, afraid that she might miss a call from him when Estie had gone missing the last time.Looking at the remark now, it was still simply named ‘A’. After changing it to ‘Byron Lawrence’, Rosalie rang his number. On the other side, Byron was getting ready to drive out in search of Estie when his phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, the man's eyes narrowed slightly before he raised his hand to answer the call."It's me." Rosalie's voice came from the other end.Thinking of the trick that the woman had played to avoid him the last time, Byron snorted coldly in his heart. His tone was also cold. "What is it?"Rosalie glanced at the little girl beside her. If it were not for Estie's sake, she probably would have hung up immediately after hearing his tone!"Estie came to me early this morning. If you're free, come on over and pick her up. Or you can tell me t

The two boys had had a pretty good upbringing and knew that these two model figures were expensive. Although they liked them, they shook their heads at the little girl. "They’re too expensive. We can't accept them."Estie tilted her head. She put the model figures beside them, then turned around and wrote in the small notebook: [Give it to brothers. Thanks. Help.]Nox looked at the small notebook she was holding, confused.This little girl had not written a complete sentence. How were they to know what she was trying to say?Lucian was a little confused at first but he soon understood. "Do you want to thank us for helping you that day?"Estie nodded firmly. She put the small notebook aside and handed the model figures over to them again.When Rosalie heard what her son said, she recalled that the kindergarten teacher seemed to have mentioned that Lucian and Nox had protected Estie the other day.It was just that, what sort of conflicts would occur between children?Looking at E

After the medicine had been put applied, Lucian and Nox also came downstairs with the gifts they had selected for the little girl.They walked up to Estie with unusual-looking dolls in their arms. "We bought them with our own pocket money. They’re for you."The two little dolls were hideously adorable, and they did not suit Estie at all.However, it was the first time Estie received a gift from her peers, and it was from the two little brothers she liked very much. Hence, she took them without hesitation. Holding the two ugly dolls with more force than when she held the model figures before, her face was filled with joy.After a while, Estie put down the dolls after she was done carrying them and wrote a big ‘thank you’ on the small notebook. She held the book up to the two little brothers with a soft smile.It was also the first time Lucian and Nox saw the little girl smile like this.They were previously against her because she was the child of their daddy with another woman.

Byron put his thoughts away and followed Lucian into the villa.The moment he entered the door, he saw Estie sitting on the carpet in the living room, playing with Lego blocks with single-hearted devotion. Next to her, there was a little boy who looked exactly like the child who had opened the door for him.They were obviously the twins.Byron's eyes were dim. He swept his gaze around the living room while trying not to look at the two children.He did not see Rosalie's figure."Your daddy is here." After coming in, Lucian went straight to Estie. His friendly attitude from before had changed as he called her coldly.Hearing these words, Estie stopped slowly and looked up at Byron who was standing not far away.With just one look, she immediately withdrew her gaze reluctantly. She lowered her head to write in the notebook.The eyes of the remaining three in the living room were all on Estie.Lucian and Nox were also unwilling to part with the little girl, but since her daddy wa

Hearing him mention their mommy, the two boys were instantly on their guards."Why are you looking for my mommy?!" Lucian stared at the man not far away alertly like a little dog that would attack anytime.Obviously, he had no attacking power, but he still had to put on a fierce appearance.Byron was deeply aware of the little guy's hostility, and when he saw his alert appearance, he found it strange but also funny. He did not take it seriously. He just said, "You’ve taken care of Estie these two times. I need to offer my gratitude in person."Hearing this, Lucian breathed a sigh of relief internally, but his small face was still taut. "No need. My mommy went to make a call, and she doesn’t need your thanks."With that, he dragged Nox back to the carpet. He bowed his head and said to Estie, "Since your daddy has come to pick you up, you can go back with him. Mommy has to go out to work in a while and won't have the time to accompany you." Estie was still immersed in the joy of t

Rosalie had just wanted to call the research institute to let them know that she would be coming by later.The person who happened to answer the phone, however, was Yves. He began telling her about a project that was scheduled for the next two days. There was a group of data in it that he did not understand.Hence, Rosalie discussed it with him.Unexpectedly, she forgot the time the moment they started discussing work. When she thought about hanging up the call, it was also because she had vaguely heard Byron's voice downstairs.In the end, Rosalie hurriedly concluded their discussion before hanging up the call immediately and trotting downstairs.She had almost forgotten that Byron would be the one coming by in a bit. Those two little ones were still down there with Estie.If Byron were to see them… At the thought of what might happen, Rosalie panicked.When she came down to try to stop them from meeting, however, it was obviously too late.The moment Rosalie came to the

Byron had no experience coaxing children. Whenever Estie was angry with him in the past, it was Mrs. Zora whom he had asked to coax her.Seeing his daughter crying in front of Rosalie now, a trace of panic flashed through Byron's heart. In the end, with a calm expression, he dully ordered, "Don't cry."He had thought that this sentence was void of emotion.In Estie's ear, however, it sounded fierce.The moment he said that, Estie sobbed harder. Her tears practically rolled down in a stream. Her head was lowered as she choked on her sobs. She was practically out of breath.Byron's brows were locked, and he did not know how to react for a moment.Seeing the little girl crying like this yet how cold Byron's response was as a father, Rosalie could not just stand and watch anymore. "Is this how you treat your child? She's crying like this yet you spoke to her with that tone? Don't you know how to talk to her properly?"When Byron was suddenly lectured by her, he could not help but

Byron looked at the two indignant children in front of him with a slight frown.These two were obviously accusing him.For some reason, however, seeing them like this made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. He was even feeling inexplicable guilt.Rosalie held Estie in her arms. When she heard the two little guys say such words, she felt stunned at first, and then her heart began to ache.Fortunately, they did not know that it was their biological father in front of them.If they knew, it was likely that they would be even sadder…Byron was silent for a long time before looking away from the two boys apologetically. "I'm sorry, I'm not treating you as bad guys. I just thought… that it would be better not to deal with an ex-husband again now that you all have your own lives. If your father knows about this, he’ll feel uncomfortable."Hearing this, Rosalie and the boys were stunned.The boys looked at each other with surprise before recalling that their daddy still did not know thei
