Rosalie was shocked to see Byron, and tears shimmered in her eyes uncontrollably.“Rosalie, open the door!”Byron rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered. He frowned and shouted.Rosalie bit her lip, took her phone, and called Byron.Downstairs, Byron stopped knocking at the door at once and answered with a frown. “Where are you? Is no one at home?”Rosalie held back her tears and tried to make herself sound calm. “I want to be alone. Please leave.”“You’re at home, aren’t you?”Byron reacted immediately and said, “I’m not going back. Open the door and let’s talk!”Rosalie’s tears flowed down her cheeks silently.Without another word, she hung up the phone and did not stand at the window again. Instead, she sat down on the edge of the bed in a dilemma.Looking at the dark phone screen, Byron’s forehead puckered. He stopped pressing the doorbell and knocked on the door. As he knocked, he shouted Rosalie’s name.“Rosalie! Open the door! Let’s talk! I’m not going
The children’s naïve question made Byron’s heart sink.Mistress.That was a harsh word to use.However, Wendy called Rosalie that mostly because of him.Realizing that broke Byron’s heart. Then, he blamed himself for it.The little boy did not get the answer he wanted and anxiously shouted, “Mommy isn’t a mistress!”Byron snapped out of his thought and touched the little one’s head with a heavy heart. “Well, how can your mommy be a mistress? She’s...”Byron stopped there and did not continue.The little ones did not ask.Getting the answer that mommy was not a mistress was already a relief to them.Byron stood up in front of them. “I’ll go up and have a look. You guys wait here obediently.”The kids nodded and watched as Byron headed upstairs.Byron walked all the way to Rosalie’s bedroom door. He knocked on the door but received no response.“Rosalie, it’s me. Open the door. I want to talk to you.”It was the first time Byron had called Rosalie that gently when she was a
“Rosalie.”He felt a joy like never before surge through him when he saw Rosalie walking out of the room.After what he said, he thought she knew exactly what it meant to open the door.Rosalie was still in a messy state of mind. She looked at him and sounded tired. “Didn’t you say you want to talk to me? You can talk now.”She did not receive any response from Byron after she said that.Byron looked affectionately at her. After staring for a long time, he touched her eyes.Rosalie subconsciously closed her eyes, feeling the man’s rough fingers on her eyelids.“Did you cry?”The joy at the bottom of Byron’s heart was replaced by remorse, and his voice was no longer calm.Rosalie’s eyelashes fluttered. She opened her eyes gradually and looked away awkwardly. “I was just too tired and thought of the past. I couldn’t help myself…”She suddenly fell into a warm embrace.Rosalie was stunned for a moment. When she realized Byron was hugging her, she struggled. “What are you doing?
After complaining, Nox snickered.Lucian and Estelle also snickered.They were so worried about Mommy that they wanted to come up and see her.However, they did not expect to see Daddy hugging Mommy when they got upstairs.The little ones stopped and peeped around the corner.The kids were dumbfounded when they saw that their mommy seemed to want to respond to their daddy’s hug. They looked at them with expectation and did not notice their mommy looking at them, catching them red-handed.Although they were caught peeping, the little ones’ mood was better than all the days before this!From how Mommy and Daddy hugged, it seemed they had not only cleared the misunderstanding between them. The kids realized they seemed to have gotten back together, and they were not far from becoming a family. “Let go of me…”Rosalie’s face flushed red when she noticed that the kids were watching them. She sounded guilty when she spoke.Byron slowly released his grip but still had one arm aroun
The little ones cheered silently upon hearing Rosalie’s answer. Then, they looked at Byron longingly.Byron smiled. “That’s a pity. I’ll take you guys to the restaurant next time.”The kids cheered this time.Rosalie could not figure out her current mood. She felt warm and said nothing more as she headed downstairs to prepare the dishes.Byron followed her downstairs with the three little ones.In the living room, the siblings gathered around Byron, looking at him with hope.“Mr. Byron, when are you going to be our daddy?”Nox stared longingly at Byron.Byron touched the little ones’ heads and answered, “Soon. Don’t worry. I’ll never let anyone else be your daddy.”Nox cheered quietly.Estelle continued righteously. “Daddy, don’t go back on your word this time!”Before, her daddy had promised her Rosalie would be her mommy. However, he had been on bad terms with Rosalie and even asked that mean lady to take care of her.The little girl was afraid her daddy would do the same
“I’ll do it.”Byron snapped out of the shock first, then he stood beside Rosalie. After that, he took the knife he had just placed aside.He was tall and stocky, wearing expensive tailored shirts and trousers. The noble look on him was obvious.However, he had a kitchen knife in his hand and looked out of place.Rosalie was in a daze when she saw him cutting the ingredients and did not know how to react.When Byron asked her to move aside, Rosalie, who had planned to remain calm, forgot what she should be doing and moved aside in a daze. Then, she continued staring at Byron.The way Byron sliced the ingredient was a little clumsy.It usually only took Rosalie two minutes to prepare, but Byron took double the time.Byron wanted to continue cooking, but Rosalie snapped out of her daze and stopped him. “Leave the rest to me!”Byron knew that he was not good at cooking. He did not insist and stepped aside as he stared at her.His gaze made Rosalie feel uncomfortable, and her acti
“Trust me.”After Byron said that softly, his gentle kiss landed on Rosalie’s lips.Rosalie subconsciously held her breath and stared at the man before her, dumbfounded.Rosalie’s eyelashes fluttered when she recalled what Byron had just said. Her defense broke down.Aware that the man wanted to kiss deeper but was hesitating and probing, Rosalie closed her eyes.Then, Byron hugged her and kissed her passionately.It was a long and deep kiss. Rosalie was out of breath and lifted her hands to push Byron.He let go of Rosalie reluctantly, frowning and panting. His gaze on her was passionate as though he was about to devour her anytime.Rosalie’s heart pounded, and she looked away in a panic. Trying to calm herself down, she said, “Let’s eat lunch. The kids must be hungry.”Then, she served the dishes casually, wanting to hide from that man.The emotion in his eyes was too intense, making her afraid.When she walked past Byron, Byron’s deep voice sounded. “This time, you’re not
After lunch, Rosalie saw that Byron seemed to have made a phone call, and after a while, the doorbell rang.Rosalie went to open the door, only to see Andrius grinning at the door.Andrius looked up and down at Rosalie as she came out of the door. He noticed that she was not hurt and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled at her. "Dr. Jacobs, I'm here to pick Byron up. Where is he?"Earlier, the phone call Byron made was to Andrius. Byron asked him to come and pick him up because he needed to speak with Andrius in person privately.Andrius could probably guess what he wanted to talk about, so he agreed, hung up the phone, and rushed over without hesitation.With that said, Andrius added nonchalantly as if afraid of being suspected by Rosalie, "We need to discuss some work matters, and I happened to be nearby, so I stopped by to pick him up."Rosalie looked at Andrius' expression. She found it odd but did not ask further.After all, Andrius had already stated that it was a w
