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.
Only Estelle and Ms. Sullivan were left at the kindergarten entrance.“Who’s picking you up today, Estie? Did they pick you up so late even back in your previous kindergarten?”Ms. Sullivan was encountering such a situation for the first time. She patiently asked Estelle about it.However, Estelle turned a deaf ear and pursed her lips, saying nothing.The little one was reluctant to come to the new kindergarten in the first place, and now no one had come to pick her up. She was in a terrible mood. As Ms. Sullivan hesitated to call Byron, Wendy’s car pulled over by the roadside.“My apologies, Ms. Sullivan. I’m late because I got stuck in a traffic jam.”Wendy got out of the car, looking anxious.Then, she looked at Estelle apologetically. “I’m sorry for letting you wait so long, Estie. I promise you that I’ll come earlier next time.”Estelle kept her mouth shut.Ms. Sullivan tried to smoothen things out and said, “Children are like this. They’ll get grumpy after waiting for
Meanwhile, Lucian and Nox did not see Estelle nor hear anything about her.Though the three of them had agreed to get Mommy and Daddy back together as soon as possible, they had no idea what was happening on Estelle’s side without her bringing the latest news.Their mommy, on the other hand, did not intend to clear the misunderstanding between her and Mr. Byron.The little ones were a little worried.After dinner, the little ones went back to their rooms early.“Lucian, why don’t we look for Daddy?”Nox continued suggesting, “Daddy would come back to Mommy if he knew we were his kids!”Lucian was also anxious to let Mommy and Daddy get back together, but he rejected Nox’s suggestion.“Mommy has been keeping it a secret from Daddy for some reason, and Mommy’s going to be really upset if we tell Daddy about this without her knowing.”Nox puffed his cheeks in frustration. “What can we do, then? I wonder how Estie is—”While the little ones were talking, there was a knock at the
"Mommy, please don't dislike Uncle Byron."Nox was disheartened and pitifully tugged at Rosalie's clothes. "Mommy, even though Uncle Byron always makes you angry, he cares about you. Every time you get sick, Uncle Byron will be by your side."Rosalie's eyes trembled, and her heart was inevitably moved by what the boy said.‘Indeed, if my memory serves me right, since I returned to Somerland, Byron has almost always been by my side every time I got sick.’Before this, Rosalie had never felt the feeling of being taken care of.‘At most, it was just the little ones’ clumsy care.‘Byron did give me a lot of security, but…’Nox, unsure of what Mommy was thinking, muttered to himself, "Uncle Byron is good to Mommy. He wouldn’t even let us tell Mommy..."As soon as he said this, the little guy suddenly felt his brother poking him.Nox bit his tongue and tried to divert Mommy’s attention. “Anyway, Uncle Byron is really good. Mommy, please don’t quarrel with Uncle Byron anymore.”Rosa
