“Where’s Rosalie?”Byron’s voice sounded again after a long time.Xander chuckled and hummed for a while before answering Byron, “Miss Jacobs is busy. Do you want to say anything to Miss Jacobs, President Lawrence? I can pass the message to her.”Byron’s face turned gloomy when he heard that answer.Rosalie was with Xander again.Moreover, she had even given Xander something personal, like her phone.Thinking about the purpose of the call, Byron was even more displeased.Luther was standing opposite Byron. His heart sank when he saw his boss’ expression turning gloomier.He had no idea who answered the call and spoiled Byron’s mood, making him mad.“No need.”Byron’s voice was cold. “Since Rosalie is busy, I’ll call again later and talk to her.”Xander lifted his eyebrow meaningfully. “I think you’ve misunderstood my words, President Lawrence. Miss Jacobs and I are working outside. If you don’t believe me, I’ll ask her to answer the call.”Then, Xander ordered the staff mem
Xander had been looking at her and noticed the flustered expression on her face.“I took your call without permission. I was a little rude. I hope you don’t mind, Miss Jacobs.”Rosalie smiled casually and said, “It’s okay.”Xander was still testing Rosalie out. “I don’t know why President Lawrence called you. I asked him, but he refused to say anything to me.”Rosalie shook her head. “I have no idea.”Xander lifted his eyebrows meaningfully.Rosalie thought she had hidden her emotions well, but he had seen everything through her expressions.The change in the expression on her face from the moment she came in was so noticeable.The call did cause quite a stir in her mind.It seemed that... Byron was someone special to Rosalie.Realizing this, Xander had a playful thought in mind....Meanwhile, Luther looked at Byron with fear in the president’s office of Lawrence Corporation’s building.After Byron hung up the call… Well, after the person from the other end o
Meanwhile, Luther personally brought a few men with him to deliver the medicine to Rosalie’s research institute.Almost at the same time, Xander drove Rosalie back.They saw each other as soon as the three got out of the cars.It startled Luther to see Rosalie getting off Xander’s car.Xander broke the silence. “We were just back from the free clinic. Miss Jacobs’ car broke down, so I drove her here.”For Luther, this explanation seemed more like an excuse.After listening, Luther subconsciously looked at Rosalie, who was by Xander’s side.“Mr. Klein, what are you doing here?”Their eyes met, and Rosalie could not help herself from feeling guilty. However, she tried to remain calm and asked the question.Luther looked at the man beside Rosalie and raised his voice. “Master asked me to send you a batch of medicinal herbs. You came back just in time. Please check them.”He beckoned the staff member in the car.Soon, the staff member took his order and moved the medi
Rosalie was unaware Xander had investigated everything in her past six years.Hearing her denial, Xander picked his eyebrows meaningfully and looked at Luther.Luther was displeased by that answer.Byron had helped Rosalie even when he was ill, yet she showed no gratitude.Moreover, she even tried to keep her relationship with Byron a secret as though it was a shame for her to let others know about it.Although Luther had those thoughts in mind, he could not show them before Xander.“These herbs are hard to find. Master has gathered almost all the herbs from Heronial Corporation’s branches.”Rosalie was moved, but she calmed herself down quickly.“I appreciate President Lawrence’s help, but…”She felt Byron was only doing this to make it up to her for making use of her.Rosalie did not want to accept the medicines.Moreover, Xander had provided them with enough.She had hardly finished her refusal when Xander spoke.“Since President Lawrence is willing to help, why don’t y
Meanwhile, Xander had just walked into his house and run into his parents.“Mom, Dad, why are you back?”From the moment he showed that he could take over the company, his parents started traveling the world, giving free clinic sessions.Xander did not know why they came back without even letting him know in advance.Paige frowned and glanced at Xander in displeasure. “I heard you have been mixing around with Byron’s ex-wife?”Some time ago, public opinion was all over the internet. Xander’s parents caught wind of it too.Thus, they investigated Rosalie and discovered she was a mother of two.To their surprise, she was even Byron’s ex-wife.The thought of her son getting so close to a woman who was divorced with two children made Paige feel uncomfortable.Xander looked at his mother, surprised. “How did you know that?”Xander had admitted it since he had not denied it at once.Paige’s expression turned gloomier. “We saw the public opinion online some time ago, and
Xander saw through his parents’ thoughts and felt helpless.“Since you’ve investigated Miss Jacobs, I’m sure you know she’s a great doctor.”His parents could not deny that.They saw that Rosalie was once a student under Quentin Luke, and she was his favorite student.That alone was a recognition of Rosalie’s medical accomplishments.However, that did not mean they could accept Rosalie, a divorced mother of two, as their daughter-in-law.Xander knew his parents were still concerned about the rumors and could only continue explaining.“Lancer Corporation had just established a new project, and you know about it.”Tucker nodded.Although they had been away from home for years, they still knew what was going on in their family and business.Xander nodded in satisfaction at his father’s reaction. “Since you know this project, you should know that Miss Jacobs is also a member of it.”It would be fine if Xander did not mention the project. Paige’s face sank again when she heard th
In the research institute, Luther helped Rosalie carry those medicine boxes while he kept mentioning nice things about Byron.Unfortunately, Rosalie remained unmoved.Luther could do nothing more.After moving the medicines, he excused himself and left.On the way back to Lawrence Corporation, Luther felt it was unfair to Byron.Luther’s face still looked gloomy when he returned to Byron’s office to report to him.“Why do you look so sullen?”Byron frowned and thought Rosalie rejected his kindness.Luther snapped out of his thought and grinned guiltily. “It’s nothing…”Byron did not ask further when he realized Luther did not seem like he wanted to share what was wrong. “Have you delivered the medicines?”Luther suppressed his displeasure and answered, “I’ve delivered them, and Miss Jacobs has checked them personally.”Then, he thought Byron would ask him about Rosalie after he mentioned her.Unexpectedly, Byron seemed to ignore that and nodded expressionlessly. “Okay. You
Byron glanced at the little boys calmly.The little ones noticed something strange in their daddy’s gaze.Daddy looked at them a little differently.It even seemed to the little ones that Daddy did not want to look at them any longer. He had only glanced at them.“Mr. Byron?” Nox called out.Byron only nodded and said, “Miss Leigh Ann will accompany you.”Then, he held out his hand again at Estelle.The little boys were reluctant to part with him, but they could see he was angry.After a moment of hesitation, the little girl reached out her little hand and took hold of Byron’s hand.The two little ones could only remain silent and watched longingly as their daddy and sister left.“Brother, is Daddy angry with Mommy?” Nox looked at Lucian as he pouted his lips.There was no expression on Lucian’s face, but he seemed lost.It was the only thing he could think of.After all, Daddy had always been there when Mommy was ill.However, Mommy did not even bother to show concern wh
