Andrius was about to give up and say he would not care about Byron’s matters anymore.However, Byron spoke suddenly.“I don’t think I should give up so easily. Besides, that woman is Estie’s mother.”A thought flashed through Andrius’s mind. He suggested, “Does Dr. Jacobs know her relationship with Estie?“If she doesn’t, she might change her mind if you tell her about this.”He had thought of this idea before, but it was Byron’s family’s affair. Hence, it was up to Byron to decide if he wanted to tell Rosalie she was Estelle’s birth mother.Andrius had no choice but to mention it now since Byron was about to give up.Byron’s hand that was holding the wine glass froze.‘Tell that woman the truth about Estie’s birth mother?’If Andrius had suggested that before Rosalie gave up on him, he would have considered it.However, Byron felt that it would be pointless to say that now.What he wanted was for Rosalie to return his affections instead of being stuck with him because of Es
Byron’s grip on the wine glass tightened when Andrius said that.Six years ago...“Six years ago, you must have treated Dr. Jacobs much worse than how Dr. Jacobs is treating you now, no?”Andrius continued. “At that time, your mind was on your work and Wendy, so what about your wife? I thought she would leave you soon because she wouldn’t be able to take it anymore, but I never expected she would live with you for so many years and give birth to your baby.”Something struck Andrius’ mind, and he lamented, “It looks like Dr. Jacobs must have loved you so much back then. You’re a persistent person. Dr. Jacobs is taking her work seriously, yet you chose to give up on winning her heart after only trying for a few months. Before you two got a divorce, Dr. Jacobs spent years working on her relationship with you.”Even Andrius felt sorry for Rosalie for what she had borne all those years.Byron’s face turned gloomy as he wondered.‘How the hell did Rosalie hold on all those years?’Si
Andrius watched Byron open another bottle of wine and sighed.‘Just let him be. He must be in a bad mood because of what I said just now.’In this case, Andrius decided to accompany Byron…Andrius drank the wine with Byron, one glass after another.Perhaps because of Byron, Andrius was in a bad mood too.After a while, they drank all the wine on the table.Byron frowned and bore the pain in his head as he took out his phone.He did not drive to the club and had to call someone to pick him up.Perhaps because Byron was drunk, the first name he searched for in his contact list was Rosalie.Byron’s forehead puckered as he hesitated to tap on that name.Andrius’ muffled voice came from behind him when he was about to tap on it.“Byron, I can’t… drink anymore.”Andrius was drunk and lifted an empty glass as he spoke to Byron.Meanwhile, Byron was not that drunk yet.Hearing Andrius’ voice snapped Byron out of his daze. He looked at the name on his phone screen for a long time
By the time they met, Andrius was sober.Seeing Wendy and his sister entering the private room startled him.He vaguely remembered Byron making a call.However, he thought Byron had regretted giving up on Rosalie and called her after getting himself drunk.He should have called Luther even if he did not want to call Rosalie.Andrius did not expect him to call Wendy.What he had said to Byron was a waste.Byron was giving up on Rosalie for sure.“Byron, are you alright?”As soon as Wendy entered the room, she walked straight to Byron and checked on him with concern.Byron had drunk more than Andrius did and was already unconscious.He only responded with a frown and nodded when he heard Wendy’s voice.“Wendy, why don’t you take Byron back and leave my brother to me?” Andrea suggested.Wendy agreed without any hesitation. However, it was difficult for her to carry Byron up.When she was about to ask for the waiter’s help, she saw Luther rushing in.“Miss Fuller, where’s th
Byron did not wake up even after they had reached Lawrence Manor.Luther helped Wendy carry Byron into the manor.“Be careful!”On the way upstairs, Luther stumbled carelessly and was immediately reprimanded by Wendy.Luther knew it was his fault, so he accepted it.Meanwhile, Estelle was still thinking about speaking to her daddy. She was waiting in Byron’s room instead of sleeping in her room.When Wendy spoke, Estelle opened the door carefully and peeped out as though she knew Byron was back.As soon as she opened the door, she saw Luther holding onto Byron.The little one ran over, worried. She tugged on Byron’s shirt. “Daddy?”Wendy was in a good mood because of their intimate contact in the car just now.She smiled and comforted the little one, “Daddy is drunk. Estie, don’t worry. I’ll take care of him.”Estelle did not look at her. Instead, she looked at Luther, waiting for him to explain.Wendy’s smile froze, and she looked at Luther just like Estelle.Luther felt
Of course, Byron could not hear her.Wendy was only saying that to give herself an excuse to take the next step. Then, she headed to the toilet to get a towel and wetted it. She came back out to wipe Byron’s face.Although she was careful enough, she had never done such a thing, so her movements were rough.Byron’s forehead puckered uncomfortably as he subconsciously wanted to avoid her touch.Wendy stopped wiping when she noticed that and whispered in Byron’s ear, “It must be uncomfortable sleeping in this attire. I’ll take it off for you.”Then, she reached out carefully and unbuttoned Byron’s shirt.The man held her wrist and frowned when she was at the third button.Wendy was excited and expected something to happen between them.However, Byron angrily pushed her away as he muttered, “Don’t touch me!”He let go of Wendy’s hand and turned to the other side with his back facing her.Wendy was shocked, and her mood sank, but she tried to calm herself down. Then, she tried nu
Wendy still chose to sleep in the guest room she slept in the last time she visited.She thought of what she had done before when she was in the room.The idea of teaching the little b*tch a lesson to make her obedient rose in her mind.However, she gave up on that thought soon.After all, she was afraid of being found out by Byron.Wendy finally had the hope of marrying Byron. She would not forgive herself if it were she who ruined her own opportunity.Lying in bed, Wendy recalled being alone with Byron in his room.She was just a hair’s breadth away from being Mrs. Lawrence!If only Luther had not shown up!...Wendy had a sleepless night. She had been waiting for Luther to inform her that Byron was awake.However, Luther did not call her even until daybreak.Thinking of Luther’s attitude toward her last night, Wendy gnashed her teeth and got up from the bed. She tidied herself up and knocked on Byron’s door.“Byron, are you awake? It’s Wendy.”Soon, footsteps came from
Talking about the little one going to kindergarten, Byron’s forehead creased, and he looked at Wendy.Luther volunteered. “I can drive Little Lady to kindergarten since you’ve just woken up, sir.”Usually, Byron would ask Luther to send Estelle to kindergarten or pick her up if he was busy.Luther thought it would be the same this time.Unexpectedly, Byron looked at Wendy as soon as he mentioned that.Luther felt things were going in a bad direction.Sure enough, the next second, he heard Byron saying, “It’s okay. I’ve transferred Estie to another kindergarten. You don’t know where it is.”Luther was shocked.‘Little Lady transferred kindergartens?‘With Little Lady’s health condition, isn’t it inadvisable to transfer her to another kindergarten?’It was even done without him knowing it.“Wendy.”Byron called out Wendy’s name calmly.Wendy was overwhelmed to hear Byron calling her name. “Yes?”Byron hesitated momentarily and said, “Please drive Estie to the new kindergart
