Estie kept shaking her head, helplessness written all over her little face.Just when she did not know what else to do, the sound of her father's steady footsteps was heard.The little girl's eyes lit up and relied on her small stature as she slipped away from Wendy and hugged her Daddy's thigh.Byron looked down at the little koala next to his leg, then remembered Wendy’s apology that he had just heard."If you want Estie to forgive you, it doesn't happen overnight. There's no need to use such extreme methods." The man looked at Wendy who was still squatting on the ground.Hearing this, Wendy smiled bitterly, and said in a low tone, "Sorry, I'm impatient again, I'm really..." Before she could finish, his deep voice interrupted. "It's getting late, let's go down and have dinner together."Wendy's voice stopped abruptly, and she looked in Byron's direction in disbelief.Byron had already turned around and led Estie downstairs.Looking at their backs, Wendy took a while to re
"Don’t want!"Estie was livid when she saw her Daddy singing the same tune as Mean Auntie. She slammed her cutlery on the table, hopped off her chair and ran upstairs.Wendy was filled with anger when the little girl threw a tantrum, but she still had to pretend."Estie!" She quickly put down her fork and tried to chase after her.As soon as she got up, Byron stopped her. "Let her be." Wendy pretended to be embarrassed. "But, Estie is..."Byron was unmoved. "Good to let her calm down alone. I spoiled her by being responsive to her before."On the way back earlier, he also reflected on the little girl breaking Xander's tires.Although deep inside, he can understand the little girl's approach.However, he always stood on the premise that her daughter was unwell.Now the little girl’s conditions had gradually improved, the way she expressed her emotions should be corrected in a timely manner.The current matter about Rosalie Jacobs was an opportunity to do so.Wendy's heart r
Wendy was discontented when she saw her mother’s satisfied expression.“Now that Byron has given up on that b*tch, the position of Mrs. Lawrence must be mine. I want that position and to win Byron’s heart too!”She wanted Byron to treat her like how he did six years ago.Magdalene nodded her head, approving of Wendy’s determination.She did not care about anything else and just wanted Byron to marry Wendy.Wendy was displeased when she noticed her mother did not seem to care about her thoughts. However, she then thought of Estelle.What she said to Byron was just a fabrication for sympathy. She had no experience in getting along with children.Her mother, who brought her up, would have more experience in that.With a smile, Wendy sat on the sofa with her mother.“Mom, can I ask you something?”Magdalene was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”Wendy looked troubled as she asked, “How do I get along with a kid? As you know, Estie has the final say. Byron won’t continue the engagement if
Andrea did not dare to ask more questions.She brought a psychiatrist upon Wendy’s request the following day.“This is the best psychiatrist in our hospital. You can ask him anything.”The tall thin man beside her greeted Wendy politely, “Hello, Miss Fuller.”Wendy nodded. “Let’s talk upstairs.”She brought the two of them to the study on the second floor.Andrea followed behind, feeling confused.At first, she thought Wendy had something personal that was inconvenient for her to hear.However, it was obvious Wendy was not trying to avoid her.“What’s the matter, Wendy?” Andrea could not help asking.Wendy did not immediately respond.Only when she entered the study did she turn around. She faced the psychiatrist and asked, “How can I get along with a kid who has speech issues? Is there any way to make her like me quicker?”Andrea finally understood Wendy’s intention. “Do you mean Estie?”Wendy nodded, but her eyes were still on the psychiatrist.The psychiatrist’s brows
“This is annoying.”Wendy frowned as her frustration rose. “Why is this kid so difficult to please? Byron is the same. If he accepts me as his wife, we’ll have kids in the future. Why does he have to wait for Estie to accept me?”She had plans. If Byron decided to marry her, she would give birth to their baby.The Lawrence family’s fortune would belong to their kid!As for Estelle, she would give Estelle a little money, enough for her to live.Andrea smiled, feeling relieved. “You’re right, but it’ll have to wait until after you get married.”Wendy rolled her eyes and asked, “Why don’t you tell me what I should do, then? I want to get the little one some gifts, but neither of us knows what she likes. When will she accept me, then? What if someone like Rosalie appears again in Byron’s life.”She had waited six years and did not want to wait any longer!However, she did not dare to take the risk either.Since Byron had given her a chance this time, she would seize the opportunit
Wendy took Andrea’s advice and went to Lawrence Manor that afternoon.On the way there, she bought a small cake for Estelle.At the gate of the manor, Wendy rang the doorbell.Mrs. Zora saw the person at the door. After hesitating, she opened the door after recalling what Byron had ordered.“Miss Fuller.”Mrs. Zora greeted Wendy respectfully when Wendy walked in. Then, she backed away a few steps, trying to reduce her existence.There had always been friction between them whenever Wendy visited.Although Mrs. Zora had done things according to Byron’s order, Wendy was still dissatisfied with her, leaving Mrs. Zora with no choice but to stay away.Wendy noticed Mrs. Zora avoiding her. She pursed her lips carelessly and asked, “You opened the door quite fast this time.”Mrs. Zora drooped her eyes, and she said nothing.“Where’s Byron? Isn’t he at home?” Wendy was too lazy to waste her time and make things difficult for Mrs. Zora. After all, she planned to fire Mrs. Zora when she
Mrs. Zora could stand it no more. She said aloud, “Miss Fuller, Little Lady must not have slept enough. Let her sleep for a while more.”Estelle nodded cooperatively and yawned.The little one looked harmless, and no one could say anything about it, even if she was clearly putting on an act.Anger flashed through Wendy’s eyes, but she managed to suppress it.“I must have visited at a bad time. Estie, why don’t you return to your room and rest?”Estelle was so relieved that she closed the door as soon as Wendy suggested that.Watching the door close before her, the smile on Wendy’s face faded.She wanted to teach Mrs. Zora a lesson. It was for saying what she should not have.However, when she recalled what Mrs. Zora said, she knew it was Byron who asked Mrs. Zora to watch her when she spent time with Estelle.Wendy felt she should put on a good act since she had already started her plan.Wendy quickly adjusted her attitude and looked at Mrs. Zora.“I’ll be visiting Estie the
Byron planned to have dinner with Estelle that night.The little one had been in a bad mood since Wendy came yesterday. Byron was afraid Estelle might suffer from speech issues again and refuse to speak.However, Andrius called him that afternoon.He knew about what happened between Byron and Rosalie from somewhere and called to show his concern.Byron’s mind was a mess, so he invited Adrius for a drink that evening.That night, below Lawrence Corporation’s building, Byron strode out in light attire with his coat draped on his arm.He heard a honk when he walked out of the company building.When he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw Andrius pulling over his car in front of Lawrence Corporation’s building.With a slight frown on his face, he approached the car.“Didn’t we agree to meet in the club? What are you doing here?”Andrius rolled down the window and winked. “How can I let a heartbroken man who lost his girlfriend drive himself? I’ll be your driver for once,
