“Mommy...”The little ones anxiously lay on Rosalie’s knee. “We’re fine. Don’t worry.”Rosalie held the little ones’ hands and looked at the wounds on their arms. Her expression was gloomy.“I know you want to see Estie, and I won’t blame you for it. However, why would you lie to me about your injuries?”She could see that it had been more than a fall.Besides, there was no way two little ones would fall together like that.The boys saw that their mommy was about to cry.Nox looked at his brother guiltily and muttered, “We met a few big guys on the road. They chased after us.”Then, he quickly explained, “Thanks to Lucian, who protected me, we managed to escape and ran back safely.”Since Nox had confessed, Lucian took responsibility for the whole matter. “Mommy, it’s my fault. I insisted on taking Nox out.”Rosalie looked at them. “Why did they want to chase you? Were they after your money?”Lucian wanted to explain, but Nox blurted out everything, “No. Lucian offered to gi
Rosalie waited a long time, but the call did not get through, and it automatically hung up.In the past, Rosalie would never call again.However, it was about the two little ones, so she redialed Byron’s number.Byron finally answered the call after she had dialed his number countless times.“Why are you calling, Miss Jacobs?” Byon’s voice was cold and differed from before.Rosalie froze and only remembered why she was calling after a few seconds.“Why are you involving children in an affair between us adults, President Lawrence?”She asked coldly, “I have nothing to say about you ignoring Estie’s illness and forcing her to transfer to a new kindergarten. After all, Estie is your child. However, you shouldn’t be so mean and shut Lucian and Nox out.”Byron frowned when he heard what Rosalie said.He thought the little woman was calling to care about Estelle.However, she called to blame him.It did occur to him that the little ones would visit Estelle.However, he did not ex
Byron’s forehead creased, and he felt what Rosalie was about to say was important.However, Rosalie paused and continued with something else. “I’ll wait for your update about this matter then.”Then, she hung up the call.Looking at the phone screen becoming dimmer, Rosalie felt her heart hammering in her.She nearly told Byron the little ones’ identities.It was because she was afraid Byron would conceal this matter if he found out it was Wendy behind it just because they were engaged.That would not happen if he knew the little boys were his kids.However, that was only her impulsive thought.When Rosalie was about to tell Byron, she stopped and swallowed her words.Now that Byron had decided to marry Wendy, she would only put the little ones in an awkward position by telling Byron they were his kids.She decided to forget it....Meanwhile, Byron kept his phone and walked into the mansion. Then, he told Melody, who was talking to Estelle, “I have something on and have to
“You have one day to find out who dared to do such a thing around Lawrence Manor!”Without hesitation, Bob patrolled around the manor with his man.The thugs had taken Wendy’s money, and they had been guarding the area for a few days to catch the little ones again if they ever came.Wendy felt the two little brats would come again if they did not meet Estelle.If they dared to come again, they would not get away like they did the last time!The bodyguards surrounded the boys the following day.“Hey, we didn’t do anything!”The boys could see that Bob and the bodyguards Bob brought along were not people they could provoke.Bob looked at them expressionlessly. “Did you chase two kids yesterday?”The boys looked at each other, none of them daring to speak.The men in black were clearly after them because of the two little ones.If they admitted to what they did to those little ones, they might not be able to get away.“Are you deaf?” Bob kicked one of those boys in the leg.I
Rosalie was changing the dressing of the two little ones’ wounds.Suddenly, the phone rang.As soon as the little ones saw the caller ID, their eyes lit up.Rosalie’s expression became serious.Now, the only thing between her and Byron was the matter of the little ones’ injuries.There was a high possibility Byron called her to update her about that matter.She wondered if he had found out who was behind this.“Mommy! Mr. Byron’s calling,” Nox urged Rosalie to answer.Rosalie snapped out of her thought and smiled at the boys. “I’m going upstairs to answer the call. Be careful not to touch your wounds.”The little ones were upset that Mommy wanted to take Daddy’s call away from them.Rosalie did not notice their expression. She took the phone and headed to the study.“I’ve checked, and someone indeed paid those guys, but I haven’t found the person behind it.”As soon as the call went through, Rosalie heard Byron’s deep voice.Rosalie’s expression changed. “Have you not foun
Andrea quickly conveyed Wendy's message to Kevin.Wendy initially thought of just conducting this transaction online. After all, Kevin was still being watched by Byron’s men.However, when the day of the transfer came, she kept feeling uneasy.‘If I don't see it with my own eyes, who can guarantee that Kevin really deleted the photos?’Thinking of this, Wendy stopped touching the screen and said to Andrea coldly, "Tell Kevin I want to watch him delete those photos with my own eyes!”Andrea was stunned when she heard this. "But if we do this, we’ll be easily exposed..." Wendy was secretly displeased inside by her response, but she did her best to explain it gently. “If we don’t do that, how will we know what tricks Kevin will play?"Deep down, Andrea felt that something was not right, yet she still conveyed Wendy’s request to Kevin.Kevin naturally did not want to meet.However, the temptation of getting 10 million bucks was too great.After thinking for a while, Kevin sent A
On Monday, Melody sent Little Estie to the new kindergarten in person.Compared to the previous one, this kindergarten was as advanced.The only difference was that the teachers and Estie’s classmates had changed.Melody was very satisfied with her arrangement.‘My granddaughter is finally away from that Jacobs woman and those two little critters!‘As for friends, she can always make new friends in the new kindergarten!’Melody was so focused on thinking about the little girl's future life that she neglected Little Estie's emotions. Once she handed the little girl over to the teacher, she turned and left.Behind her, the kindergarten teacher’s face was troubled as she looked at the little girl with tears all over her face.The children who enrolled in this kindergarten were either from rich or powerful families.Their parents were difficult to serve.‘If her parents find out that their daughter is crying in kindergarten, it’s very likely that I’ll lose my job tomorrow.’Thin
The teacher looked at Estie, then back at Melody. She tried to explain more explicitly."Estie isn’t ignoring the children, but as soon as they approach her, she keeps screaming."Melody noticed that several children who were being taken by their parents were looking in their direction, whispering while walking away.From what the teacher said, Melody could more or less guess what those little ones were talking about."Estie just arrived at school. She’s just a little wary of the students. I appeal to your consideration as a teacher."Melody still maintained superficial politeness. "Estie will be very obedient once she gets to know everyone better in the future."Then, she lowered her head and glanced at the child beside her. "Isn’t that right, Estie?" The little girl pursed her mouth and lowered her head as if she did not hear her.Melody frowned, squatted down patiently, and looked into the little girl's eyes. "I’m talking to you." The little girl's eyes darted side-to-sid
