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
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
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
Rosalie brought the little girl to the living room sofa to take a seat. The boys very quickly brought the medical kit over for their mommy. Sitting at the side, the three children watched eagerly as Rosalie applied medicine on herself.Rosalie took the medical kit and thanked the two boys. She fished out the ointment and was going to apply the medicine on herself.She had injured her right hand. Hence, it was very inconvenient for her to move her left hand.“Mommy, let me help you!” Lucian reached out thoughtfully, wanting to help his mommy. Rosalie was certain that it would be rather inconvenient for herself and nodded. Just as she was about to pass the medicine to Lucian, a big hand suddenly reached out from the side and took the medicine away.Both of them looked up simultaneously.“Let me.” Byron was frowning slightly as he crouched down in front of Rosalie.Lucian pursed his lips before pushing Nox as they moved to the side together to let Byron sit next to their mommy.A
Rosalie's heart was full of warmth at the little one’s response. Her eyes were red, but there was a smile on her face.Seeing both of their appearances, warmth also surged in Byron’s eyes. After calming down, he said in a deep voice, "Let’s eat first."Rosalie then let go of the child in her arms. She blinked and forced her tears back before agreeing with a smile. "Yes, let’s eat first."Saying that, she recalled the mess at the kitchen door and was going to clean it.Seeing through her intention, Byron stopped her in a deep voice. "I’ve already asked Mrs. Zora to come over. She’ll stay and take care of you all these two days. Sit down and eat first."Rosalie stopped, then turned back to thank the man. "Thank you."Due to Estie, she had not treated Byron too courteously. However, she accepted these small favors more frankly.Byron nodded.Rosalie turned to look at the children. "Let's go. You guys are probably already hungry. Let’s eat while the food is still hot."They were i
At night, after Rosalie had Lucian and Nox go rest, she returned to the room to take care of Estie. Mrs. Zora knew that the little lady had recovered and did not want to be even one step away from Estie.They bathed Estie together when it came time for a shower.Seeing the bruise on Estie's buttocks, Mrs. Zora’s heart hurt. She could not help grumbling, "Who on earth would use such a heavy hand when the little lady is already in poor health to begin with? Even the young master can’t bring himself to be harsh with her..."Estie heard this and blinked her large eyes twice. She then recalled Wendy’s warning and shut her mouth tightly.Rosalie suddenly recalled Byron's words back at the haunted house.Doubts about Estie's biological mother had always hovered around in her mind.Thinking about how Mrs. Zora had been with the Lawrence family all these years, she figured she should know something about it. Hence, she casually asked, "Mrs. Zora, Estie had such a serious meltdown this t
At the same time, Lawrence Mansion.Melody and Benedict were ready to go to sleep when they suddenly heard the doorbell ringing loudly. They hurried to open the door.The moment they opened the door, they saw Henry and Magdalene Fuller standing there with apologetic expressions. Wendy was behind them with red eyes."What's the matter?" Melody asked, puzzled when she saw their appearances.Magdalene turned to stare at Wendy.Wendy’s eyes were red, and her face was filled with remorse. Even her voice was a little hoarse, "Aunt Melody, I'm here to apologize."Melody was even more puzzled when she heard this. She invited all three of them in to sit down on the sofa and asked someone to pour them some tea before she asked, "What happened? Why are you apologizing out of nowhere?"Wendy lowered her head, not daring to look at her. "Yesterday morning, you persuaded Estelle to get into my car. I thought Estie would get into the car obediently and I’d send her to kindergarten smoothly, bu
Hearing this, Melody's expression changed again. "Wendy, what are you saying? Things have long been impossible between Byron and that woman. I’ve also asked, and Byron said he had no such plans. You shouldn’t even mention it!” Wendy still bowed her head and sobbed. "But Estelle is now staying by Rosalie’s side every day. These days, she’s even living in Rosalie's house. Estelle likes her very much. If Byron doesn’t have those intentions, why would he leave Estelle to her..."Although Byron had taught her a lesson, she still sent someone to monitor Rosalie's movements.Learning that Estie was staying at Rosalie's house, Wendy panicked and revealed everything to her parents. Her father brought her over to apologize after lecturing her.Seeing that Melody had forgiven her, she could not help tattling to her.Melody did not expect Byron to hand Estie over to the woman. At that moment, she was furious. "Nonsense! Who allowed him to do this?!"She forced her anger down after saying th
