Chapter 116 Bumping Into His Arms
As soon as they walked in, darkness enveloped their eyes. Rosalie was holding the hands of the two little boys tightly, while Mary led the way in front of them.Lucian and Nox snickered in their hearts, but they did not expect Mommy to be so afraid of ghosts.However, after being frightened in the haunted house today, they would surely forget those troubles!The two made small calculations and did not say that their hands were hurt by Mommy's death grip. They just dragged her forward without saying a word.Rosalie felt her scalp tingling as she walked.She has been afraid of all kinds of terrifying things since she was a child. Although she knew that the ghosts here were fake, she still felt apprehensive about the background sounds and light effects.Especially since it was still unknown when the ‘ghosts’ of the haunted house would appear. The three people in front, who just said they would protect her, seemed to be doing this on purpose. They did not say a word, which made her
Chapter 117 What Is There Left To Explain?
Rosalie, who was paralyzed in fear, was trembling unconsciously as she instinctively burrowed into his arms.Noticing her trembling, his heart softened as he said gently, "Why come in if you're so scared?"Rosalie could not react for a while when she heard the familiar voice.Byron sighed helplessly. "Let’s get you out of here."Rosalie slowly recovered, only to feel that the voice in her ears was very familiar. The smell that lingered around her made her heart sink.‘Byron Lawrence? No, how could he be here…’Rosalie raised her eyes in suspense and met the man's genuinely concerned eyes.Looking at each other, Rosalie froze again. The panic she experienced earlier completely evaporated as she broke free from the man's arms with a blank expression.Byron was deeply aware of her resistance, and the soft emotions in his heart slowly faded away, allowing her to retreat from his arms."Why are you here?" Rosalie looked at the person in front of her with vigilance and estrangement.
Chapter 118 This Child Was Not Wendy Fuller’s
It was funny how things had changed.Rosalie clearly remembered that six years ago, Byron swore that he would only want Wendy Fuller as his wife. He even treated her coldly because she occupied Wendy’s position.Six years later, this man could not wait to draw a line between himself and Wendy.She wondered how Wendy would feel after hearing his words.However, despite Byron’s explanation, the principal was indeed instructed by Wendy. Plus, she had already made up her mind to cut ties with Byron.If something like this could happen once, there would be a second time. She did not want her two boys to live under someone else's mercy.Thinking of this, Rosalie put away her thoughts and did not want to be involved with him over this issue anymore. She said calmly, "I've listened to your explanation. If there’s nothing else, I need to go now."After speaking, she turned around to leave.She did not want to stay in this godforsaken place any longer. Now that her rational mind had retu
Chapter 119 What Are You Going To Do To Mommy?
Hearing Rosalie’s rhetorical question, he stared at her face for a long time but could not see a trace of pretense.Byron withdrew his gaze. He was shocked, and then there was an overwhelming revelation.Rosalie had always thought that Estie was Wendy Fuller's child!He always thought that it was this woman who abandoned Little Estie. Seeing how she did not recognize Estie even after returning home, he was certain that this woman was stone-hearted.However, it was obvious from what she said just now that Rosalie did not know that Estie was her biological daughter.‘What exactly is going on?‘Or… is the woman's acting skills so good that I can’t see through her?’There was confusion in Byron's heart.He gathered himself as fast as he could. He still held onto her slender wrist and asked with a sullen face, "When did I say that Estie is Wendy Fuller's child?"Her wrist hurt, but she was taken by his words. She was surprised.Little Estie was not Wendy Fuller's child!It was no
Chapter 120 Must Protect Little Sister
Seeing them leave, Byron followed along immediately.The exit was not difficult to find, but Rosalie was frightened out of her mind earlier so she got lost while running around. As she had calmed down now, they eventually found their way out of the haunted house. Rosalie felt disoriented from the dazzling sunlight hitting her face.Byron followed closely behind her, his eyes locked tightly on her.The two had different thoughts.Sensing the strange atmosphere between the two, Mary took Rosalie aside and whispered in her ear, "What's the matter? What is he asking you to do?"Rosalie came back to her senses and subconsciously glanced at the man inches away, only to see that the man's eyebrows were tightly furrowed with anxiety and worry.She thought of what Byron had said in the haunted house just now.He did not seem like he was lying.Thinking of this, Rosalie could not help but worry about Little Estie.Even before when she thought that Estie was Byron and Wendy's child,
Chapter 121 Where Did Everything Go Wrong?
Rosalie looked in the direction he pointed, only to see the little girl curled up in the corner with her knees tucked in. Her eyes were empty, like a delicate doll without a soul.Thinking of the little girl's sweet smile every time she saw her, Rosalie’s heartbreak felt physical. She could not breathe.This morning, the little girl was still holding her skirt with bright eyes, but now, her gaze had become like this...Rosalie walked into the room carefully, squatted down in front of the little girl, and softly called out her name, "Estie, Aunt’s here."Little Estie did not respond at all.Seeing the little girl like this, Rosalie could not make a sound for a while.Lucas reminded in a low voice behind her. "Miss Jacobs, Estie has now closed her heart and isolated herself completely from the outside world. You have to communicate with her more so that you can bring her out of this. Be patient."Hearing this, Rosalie tried hard to calm down. She nodded silently and started talkin
Chapter 122 Finally Come Around
Rosalie stayed with Estie for almost the entire day.However, the little girl never responded.As the skies turned dark, Rosalie knew it was time to leave even though she could not bear to part with the little girl."I’ll come to see you tomorrow. You have to hang in there, alright?" Before leaving, Rosalie hugged Little Estie hard.The two little boys also stood in line to hug her.The three were about to leave, but Rosalie felt a tug on her skirt.She was stunned for a moment and looked back in disbelief, only to see that Estie’s little hands were gripping her skirt. Even so, her eyes were still looking into the distance with no focus.Byron and Lucas saw what happened inside the room and looked at each other, stunned.They thought Estie had completely closed herself off and stopped responding to the outside world.They did not expect that she could feel Rosalie Jacobs' existence. She even moved to show that she did not want the woman to leave.Rosalie was so distressed tha
Chapter 123 What's The Matter?
Byron’s stern and icy tone made Wendy's heart tighten. The little hope she had just now disappeared.She wanted to get dressed up to meet him, but Byron said to meet in half an hour. Wendy just grabbed her purse and went out in a hurry.Her house was a long way from the restaurant. Her driver was going at lightning speed for her to arrive on time.When Wendy entered, Byron was already waiting for her at the seat by the window.Hearing movement at the door, the man raised his eyes and looked over. His expression was colder than the night outside the window."Byron, what's the matter?" Wendy felt inexplicably guilty and carefully sat down opposite him while clutching her purse.Byron stared at her for a few seconds. The atmosphere around him was terrifyingly silent.Wendy clenched her fingers nervously and forced a calm smile on her face."You sent Estie to school this morning." After a long while, he spoke sternly and coldly.Wendy nodded quickly. "Mrs. Lawrence asked me to help,
