Recalling she had to drive Estelle to kindergarten the next day, Wendy set an alarm for 6:00 am.Wendy felt frustration surging in her when the alarm went off the following day.Last night, Wendy barely slept because she had been thinking about Rosalie and Xander. She only slept after midnight and had only three to four hours of sleep.Wendy turned off the alarm clock and closed her eyes to go back to sleep.On second thought, she had to put on an act in front of Byron…After lying in bed for a while, Wendy got up despite her anger.She took a simple bath and headed downstairs.Downstairs, Magdalene was watering the flowers leisurely.She was surprised to see her daughter waking up early. “Why did you get up so early?”Wendy was still in a bad mood after waking up early and looked annoyed. "To send Estie to kindergarten."Magdalene nodded. “You should do it. It might be tough now, but it’s for the better future.”Wendy naturally knew it. Otherwise, she would not have gotten
Byron nodded and continued to accompany Estelle to eat breakfast.Estelle did not want to go to school, so she ate slowly.Wendy had made a surprise visit and said she would send her to school later. The little girl had lost her appetite.After eating a little more, the little one sadly put down her spoon.Byron did not think much about it. He thought Estelle was reluctant to go to school. He said softly, “You can go with Auntie Wendy if you’ve already finished your breakfast.”Estelle put on a sour face and looked at her daddy sadly.Before she could say anything, Wendy spoke.“Don’t worry, I’ve estimated the time. Estie can eat some more if she isn’t full.”Estelle looked at her with a frown.Wendy was afraid that the little one was unhappy and would tell Byron what had happened yesterday. Therefore, she did not dare to give Estelle a chance to speak.Seeing the little one looking at her, Wendy quickly said, “Have you eaten your breakfast, Estie? Let’s go if you’re done eat
Estelle looked at her daddy, who was at the door, and at Wendy, who was sitting on the sofa.After a while, she got off her chair sullenly and ran after Byron on her short legs.Wendy was relieved and followed quickly.“Daddy,” Estelle tugged onto Byron’s shirt and tried to coax her daddy.Byron looked at the little one and stroked her hair. “I’ve been very busy recently, so please be a good girl.”The little one pouted her lips in disbelief.Her daddy was not busy. He was in a bad mood because he and Auntie were not on good terms.She could see that, yet her daddy was lying to her.Adults were strange. Her daddy still refused to make up with Auntie after so long.Byron did not know what was happening in the little one’s mind. After speaking, he withdrew his gaze from her and turned to Wendy behind the little one.Wendy kept her attention on him and met his eyes with a smile almost as soon as he looked over.“What’s the matter?”Byron’s forehead creased, and he asked in his
Byron left after watching Estelle get into the car.Wendy started the car slowly and drove Estelle to her kindergarten.On the way, she wanted to talk to the little one again about what she had said yesterday and asked her not to mind it.However, the little one did not seem to hear. Estelle just looked down and played with her fingers.Wendy gnashed her teeth and tried to make herself calmer to prevent her from thinking about harming Estelle. After dropping Estelle at her kindergarten, Wendy dashed off in her car, not daring to stay any longer, afraid she might reveal her true colors....Meanwhile, Rosalie drove Lucian and Nox personally to their kindergarten.Rosalie had confirmed that Byron would not send Estelle back to the kindergarten.She knew the little ones were feeling pretty down these days.The little ones would be in a better mood if she drove them to school.At the kindergarten gate, Rosalie suddenly remembered something and told the two little ones, “Even if
Rosalie subconsciously frowned, and her voice turned cold.“Stop saying that. Young Master Xander is our business partner. He supplied us with medicine in time to ensure our project’s progress.”Yves’s words reminded her of the little ones.If even Yves misunderstood her relationship with Xander, she could not blame the two little ones for their misunderstanding. Moreover, Rosalie had never thought about what was going on between her and Xander, which made others misunderstand.Yves smiled. “Dr. Jacobs, you don’t have to deny it. After all, your medical skills are outstanding, and it’s understandable that Young Master Xander admires you.”As if he was afraid Rosalie did not know about it, he smiled and mentioned, “I’m afraid you don’t know this, but our research institute’s staff often gossip about your relationship with Young Master Xander.”Rosalie looked displeased as she asked, “Gossip about what?”Yves shrugged his shoulders. “Young Master Xander is always by your side wh
Xander was startled for a few seconds and realized what was happening. He agreed to leave.They walked out of the research institute.Looking at the two people leaving, Yves felt triumphant because he thought his plan worked.Yves’ attention had been on Xander from the moment he spoke to Rosalie.He also saw Rosalie’s struggle through her expression.What he said this morning worked.Rosalie stopped at the institute’s entrance with a complicated feeling emerging in her. She stood behind Xander.“I’m sorry.” On the way out, Rosalie had calmed down. She felt that her attitude seemed to be a little brusque.Xander lifted his eyebrows and quipped, “What’s wrong? Why are you apologizing to me for nothing? You didn’t do anything that went against the project’s benefits, did you?”Rosalie shook her head when Xander mentioned the project. “Of course not.”She would never do such a thing as she had contributed so much to this project.Xander smiled. “I’m just kidding. I can’t think o
They were chatting and did not notice Kevin, who was hiding across the road.Looking at the photos in his camera, satisfaction surged through him.The distance between Rosalie and Xander was not close, but he could take the photos as though they were hugging.Kevin chose two photos from what he had shot and sent them to Wendy.Wendy happened to be shopping with Andrea.Wendy’s house was far from Estelle’s kindergarten, and she did not want to waste her time going back and forth.Moreover, she had something she would like to discuss with Andrea.“Do you mean to say that it’s possible that Byron and Rosalie separated because of Xander?”Andrea had been listening to Wendy’s speculation. “Although Xander is a successful young man, why would Byron give up the woman he liked because of him?”Wendy also had her doubts about this. “I’m suspicious of this too. So, I asked Kevin to check on it.”As they were talking, Wendy’s phone screen lit.Wendy stopped talking and took out her pho
“Well…”Andrea was puzzled. “When are we going to use these photos, then?”Wendy squinted her eyes. “I need the perfect timing to do this. I called you out today to discuss this matter.”Perfect timing.Andrea’s brows furrowed, and she seemed to understand what Wendy meant.She felt that the photos in her hand were not enough to prove anything, so she wanted to wait for the moment when Rosalie could not explain herself.It was easy for her to plan, but this was challenging.It might have been possible if they had a better relationship with Rosalie or Xander.However, they both had offended Rosalie and were not familiar with Xander.Andrea could not think of anything for the moment.“Well, do you have anything in mind?” Wendy was impatient.Her relationship with Estelle improved because of Andrea’s suggestion.That was why Wendy called Andrea out to discuss this matter, hoping Andrea could give her a good idea.However, after waiting a long time, Adrea came up with nothing.
