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
Byron greeted Wendy with a cold nod and took Estelle into the house.Behind them, Wendy looked at them, and a cunning thought flashed through her mind.As far as she knew, Rosalie and Byron had not seen each other since that night.Rosalie must have given up after understanding she could not be with Byron.Since that was the case, Wendy had to grasp the chance and make sure she would get to be Byron’s wife.Wendy did not care even if Byron’s attitude toward her was as cold as ever.Wendy followed them into the house.“Yes?”Byron had sent Estelle to her room and was walking down the stairs as he looked at Wendy strangely.Wendy froze and smiled. “Auntie Melody asked me to visit you and check on your condition.”Meanwhile, Byron had retracted his gaze from her. “I’m fine. Tell her not to worry.”Wendy wanted to say more, but Byron wanted her to leave. “You can leave if you have nothing else you want to say.”Wendy froze. “But…”She could not leave without doing
"I'm sorry, I just... I was thinking about other things, and I accidentally stumbled."Wendy pretended to be apologetic after Mrs. Zora assisted her to the sofa in the living room.Byron stood still behind the two and did not respond after he heard this.Wendy’s heart sank, and she added sheepishly. “Must have been just a tiny sprain. I’ll massage it, then go look for Auntie to tell her about your situation."She smiled at Byron as if trying to ease his worries. She thought this remark would be able to win his sympathy.Perhaps he would let her stay tonight.Unexpectedly, Byron just nodded flatly. Then, he suddenly squatted in front of her.Wendy could not react for a while.After a while, a piercing pain came from her ankle, and Wendy's face suddenly changed."Does it hurt?" Byron grabbed her injured ankle with one hand and asked.Wendy gritted her teeth and nodded.Byron let go. "This should be a bone injury."Wendy's eyes brightened at the man’s words. She tested the wat
Upstairs, Estie waited for quite a while. It was only when she was very hungry did she open the door and walk out. As soon as she got downstairs, she heard that Mean Auntie wanted to stay with them.In an instant, alarm bells rang in the little girl's heart, and she ran to her father's side as quickly as her little legs could carry her.‘Daddy and Auntie Rosalie haven't reconciled yet. If she knows that Mean Auntie is staying at our home, she’ll be even angrier!’Moreover, the little girl feared that Daddy would make Mean Auntie her mommy.The little one stared at her father with her big watery eyes, and her thoughts were self-evident.Byron met the little girl's eyes, stroked her head comfortingly, and turned to look up at Wendy in front of him.Wendy's heart skipped a beat. She knew that Byron’s answer might not be what she wanted."With your current situation, it's best to go to the hospital in time to deal with it. If it gets worse, I won't be able to explain it to my moth
"Daddy!" Estie hurriedly urged when her daddy kept silent for a while. Byron came back to his senses and nodded helplessly to the little girl.Only then did Estie let go of her hand and watch him go downstairs.Downstairs, Wendy waited anxiously.When Byron came down, she was still a little apprehensive.‘The little b*tch deliberately talked to Byron behind my back because she didn't want him to send me to the hospital.’Wendy knew that Byron had always doted on Estie. He even delayed marrying her because of that little b*tch.Now, it was hard to guarantee whether she would have to go to the hospital by herself because of that little b*tch's words.Even until the moment Byron stood still in front of her, Wendy could not calm down."Dr. Miller, I’ll need to trouble you to assist Miss Fuller."Byron turned his head and told the family doctor beside him.Hearing this, Wendy's eyes widened suddenly. She thought that she had guessed right. ‘Byron really doesn’t intend to accompa
