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,
Chapter 124 How Could One Be So Cruel To Her?
Rosalie asked the two little guys to take care of the little girl while she went to prepare dinner for them.She wrote down all the dietary precautions that Byron told her earlier and cooked based on Estie's needs.When the meal was ready, Rosalie asked Lucian and Nox to bring Estie down.Soon, three little ones appeared at the entrance of the stairs. The two little boys held the little girl's hands, one on each side. The boys accommodated her pace and slowly walked downstairs. They looked like two little princes and a little princess from a fairy tale.Rosalie saw the three kids holding hands, and there was a touch of warmth in her eyes. Then, she thought about Estie’s current situation and felt distressed once more.When they got to the dining table, Lucian and Nox were kind and generous to let their little sister sit next to Mommy while they sat beside Estie.Rosalie patted the heads of the two boys with relief, sat down beside Estie, and carefully fed her.Maybe the cooking
Chapter 125 How Long Do You Want To Keep This Act?
Upon hearing this, Rosalie's heart sank. She immediately defended herself. "Let me be clear, I have nothing to do with this! I’ve always felt that children are innocent. Furthermore, Lucian and Nox adore Estie so much. I’ll never do anything to hurt her."After all, she had not reconciled with Byron. Now that Little Estie was found to be badly beaten while under her care, she had become the main suspect.Moreover, she did have some alone time with Estie.She would not be able to explain if Byron suspected her of this.For a while, Rosalie felt uneasy.Byron was in deep contemplation when he heard her defense. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Rosalie. "I wasn’t suspecting you at all, and I can probably guess who did this."Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried about Estie. "Who did it?"Byron’s inner storm was slowly brewing as he traced his thoughts on the matter.Last night, his parents took Estie away from the manor involuntarily. Although h
Chapter 126 Why Don't You Just Die?
She could twist and sugarcoat her words all she wanted, but the man in front of her would remain indifferent.His grip on her neck did not lose any strength.Wendy almost exhausted all her strength and struggled to barely breathe, but she still refused to admit what she had done.Now that Byron was already treating her so cruelly when he was just suspicious of her, what would he do to her if she admitted it?Wendy's face turned blue and purple, and her chest heaved from breathing difficulties. Luther came up to Byron for fear that his boss might end someone’s life. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. "Sir, please let her go now. If you go further, she’ll die!"Byron still had no intentions of letting go.Wendy had no doubt that the person in front of her would just strangle her to death.In the end, Luther bravely stepped forward to intervene and pry his master's hand off Wendy’s neck.Wendy was already worn out. As soon as the hand on her neck was released, she collapsed
Chapter 127 First He Abandoned Mommy, Then He Bullied Them
Rosalie agreed and went upstairs with Byron.There was only one night light on in the room, and Estie had already fallen asleep. Rosalie was mindful of her movements because she did not want to wake her up.Byron stood outside the door with his hands in his pockets. His eyes slowly moved from Estie to the arrangement of the room.He saw that Rosalie's room was extraordinarily tidy and clean. There were also a few plush toys, likely left there by the two little boys. It made the room look warm and homely.After watching for a while, the lingering anger from earlier slowly disappeared, leaving only warmth in his heart."Okay, all good now," whispered Rosalie after she applied the medicine onto Estie’s bruise. The woman carefully observed and saw that the little girl was still sound asleep, so she got up with confidence.As soon as she turned around, she met the man's scrutinizing eyes.Looking at each other, both of them were stunned.Byron gathered himself and nodded lightly. "T
Chapter 128 Won't Let Anybody Bully Her
When they reached the kindergarten, Miss Leigh Ann saw them appearing at the same time. She was happy and a little embarrassed. "Miss Jacobs—"Although it was Wendy’s idea to expel the two boys, the teacher still felt somewhat embarrassed and wanted to apologize to her.Rosalie interrupted her with a smile, "Lucian and Nox are going to have to trouble you again." The teacher nodded quickly. "It's my job. Besides, the boys are sweet, so it’s no trouble at all."Rosalie nodded. "Also, Estie has been in a bad mood these two days. She’s become less responsive to others. I hope you’ll take note of that and please take care of her."She did not bluntly speak about Estie's meltdown.After all, she did not know if the little girl was listening to their conversation. If she was, she may feel hurt.Miss Leigh Ann nodded in agreement.Lucian and Nox held their little sister’s hands and assured Mommy, "We’ll take good care of Estie, and we’ll never let anybody bully her!"Rosalie smiled
Chapter 129 Are You Hurt?
Rosalie also felt the same way in the morning. Her heart softened from what Nox said, and she responded with a smile, "Maybe. Thank you for taking care of her. I’m more at ease.” Nox swore and patted his little chest as his childlike voice assured, "Don't worry, Mommy. Brother, and I will continue to take care of her!"Rosalie burst out laughing.Hearing the little guy's assurance and Rosalie's light laughter, Byron could not help but glance through the rearview mirror. Their affectionate interaction brought warmth to his heart.‘I have to say that this woman taught these two little boys very well. Compared to children of the same age, the two of them behave like adults.’When they reached Rosalie’s place, Byron planned to leave immediately after. After all, he saw that Rosalie was taking good care of Estie. Even her two children treated Estelle like their own sister. There was no need for him to stay and make them uncomfortable.Rosalie got the kids out of the car and took one
Chapter 130 Estie Recovers
Lucian and Nox were quite stunned by Estie’s sobbing, and they did not know if they should coax her or not.After all, it seemed that the little girl was crying because Mommy was injured. That could also be regarded as a reaction to the outside world. For them, it was great news.However, seeing Estie's tearful face, the boys felt very distressed. They turned their heads, wanting to get Mommy. However, they saw Mommy's face grimacing in pain as she ran cold water on her burn wounds.Due to this dilemma, Lucian and Nox kept mum. Their eyes kept wandering back and forth between Mommy and their little sister.After a while, Byron felt that Rosalie’s burns had gotten enough cold water. He then grabbed her arm and pulled her hand out from under the water.Rosalie looked down at the wound. Although it was still red, the pain was no longer intense."Why? Does it still hurt?" Byron noticed her small gestures and asked with a frown. There was a hint of concern in his eyes.Rosalie was st
