Estelle shrieked and grabbed Rosalie’s shoulder tightly in fear.Rosalie instinctively hugged the little girl and tilted her body, preparing to bear the pain herself.She heard a dull thud.However, the expected pain never came.Rosalie was startled for a few seconds. When she lifted her head, she glanced at Wendy.All she saw was Byron gripping Wendy’s hand that was holding the ashtray, and the ashtray fell to the ground.Wendy’s expression changed.The madness that led her to try and kill Rosalie did not fade, but fear gradually took over.“You are crazy!”Byron’s grip on her wrist almost killed her.When Wendy snapped out of her madness, she endured the pain in her wrist and apologized in a panic. “I-I don’t know what’s going on! Byron, please show mercy on me!”Before she could continue, Byron pushed her away.Wendy staggered and fell to the ground a distance away. She could not be bothered by the pain and begged for mercy, “I’ll never dare to do that again. Please forg
His way?The family of three looked at each other as dread twisted in them.Byron called Luther. Before Byron could order Luther, Rosalie spoke out.“Byron, forget it.”Rosalie hugged Estelle tightly in her arms, suppressing her hatred as she said to Byron, “Hand her to the police. The law will take care of her. She used bacteria on the three kids. I have the lab test report, and the quantity used on the children is deadly. It’s attempted murder. She’ll spend her life in prison, paying for what she has done.”Recalling how Wendy had almost killed the three kids, Rosalie felt hatred rising in her.However, she still had her wits.What Wendy did was intolerable, but Rosalie did not want Byron to dirty his hands by punishing Wendy.Byron frowned as he pondered. Then, he changed his order. “Contact the lawyer as soon as possible to send Miss Fuller to where she should be!”Luther was pleased to be at his service and agreed readily, “Yes, Sir!”Wendy was terrified to hear Rosalie’
Estelle still had not calmed down completely. When she saw Melody, she was about to cry again.Rosalie hugged the little girl, and her eyes met Melody. “Mrs. Lawrence, Estie’s emotion is not stable. Please don’t trigger her.”Byron also approached with a frown.With Melody’s attitude toward Wendy, he thought she had realized she was wrong.However, he did not expect her to provoke Rosalie after he chased Wendy away.“I love my granddaughter. What makes you think what I do will hurt her?”Melody was in a great mood swing. She could hardly control her emotions and sounded dissatisfied when she said that.Then, she wanted to snatch Estelle from Rosalie’s arm. “Estie, come over to Grandma. Let Grandma see if you’re injured.”Estelle panicked and climbed onto Rosalie’s shoulder. “Boo-hoo…I want Mommy! I don’t want Grandma. No!”Melody’s expression changed when she heard how Estelle addressed Rosalie. “Don’t simply call her ‘Mommy’!”Estelle just kept crying and did not care about
After a long silence, Melody scowled. "Fine! You've made it so clear! It's me who’s disturbing your family’s peace, huh? I'm leaving!"She lifted her feet to head outside.Suddenly, Byron stopped her. "Stay the night in the manor today. When Estie's mood recovers, I have something to announce."Melody paused, then looked back at her son suspiciously. "What is it?”This was the first time that Byron asked her to stay overnight in the manor.Melody felt that this must be a very important matter.She recalled what her son said just now, that he would not mind giving up his position as president of Lawrence Corporation. Melody’s heart tensed for fear that he would really decide to give up on the family.She turned her head and gave Rosalie a displeased look.‘It's all because of this woman that my son is so impulsive!’Rosalie noticed her gaze and did not respond. She softly coaxed Estie who was in her arms."Think about it clearly. Is it worth it to give up Lawrence Corporation
Byron's gaze was so filled with guilt that she could not comprehend.Rosalie pursed her lower lip and held his hand with her free hand. "Such things will never happen to Estie again."Lucian and Nox echoed in a childlike voice, "We’ll protect our little sister too!"Byron’s eyes gradually softened.As his mood eased, Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief. "So many things happened today. I'll take Estie back to my place tonight and let her calm down."The most important thing now was that Rosalie knew Estie could not accept Melody.She was afraid that Byron allowing Melody to stay over in the manor would greatly affect Estie's emotions.Hearing her words, Estie hugged Rosalie's neck tightly, expressing that she wanted to be with her godmother.Byron did not agree. "Take her to her bedroom to rest for a while. With you here, Estie won't pay too much attention to other things."Rosalie still hesitated.Estie nodded vigorously.‘As long as Godmother’s here, no matter who comes, I wo
In the back garden, all those precious flowers and plants had been replaced by some inconspicuous little flowers.On the wall of the manor hung several strings of fairy lights."We decorated it in a simple manner as per your instruction."Luther was not sure whether his master was satisfied or not, so he explained carefully.Byron glanced around as he imagined the scene at night. His gaze gradually softened. "This is fine. Did you bring it?"Luther immediately took out an exquisite velvet box from his pocket and handed it over.Byron opened it and took a look, all the coldness on his face fading away.…Upstairs, Estie, who was tired from crying, lay in Rosalie's arms and fell asleep peacefully.Rosalie did not sleep all afternoon and got tangled up in the fuss Wendy kicked up. She was exhausted, so she lay down on the little girl's bed to take a nap.Once Mommy and Little Estie were asleep, Lucian and Nox quietly retreated to the balcony.They looked down and saw Daddy and
When Rosalie helped the little ones at the dining table, she was still worried that Estie would be upset because of Byron’s absence.Unexpectedly, the little girl ate happily as if she did not mind whether Daddy accompanied her or not.Rosalie could not help feeling a little distressed as she looked at Estie.‘Byron is so busy with work. Is it true that he rarely has time to spend with the little one?‘No wonder the little girl's autism is recovering so slowly.’After dinner, Rosalie wanted to take the little ones back upstairs to rest.Mrs. Zora suddenly appeared in the living room with a smile on her face. "Miss Jacobs, the young master is waiting for you in the back garden."As a witness to everything that happened this afternoon, Mrs. Zora wanted to address Rosalie as ‘Young Lady’ as before.However, considering that it might bother her, Mrs. Zora refrained in the end.Rosalie froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the little ones around her.‘I don't know what
Rosalie was stunned at the person in front of her who was down on one knee.‘Am I dreaming?‘Byron is asking me… to marry him?‘Why would Byron do such a thing?‘We didn’t go through this process for our marriage six years ago either.’Rosalie felt nauseous all of a sudden, and she could not believe what was happening in front of her eyes.She instinctively wanted to run away.Just as she took a step back, she was held on by the three little ones."Mommy! Say yes to Mr. Byron! Mr. Byron is sincere!"Nox could not help himself. "Mr. Byron has been preparing for a long time! We saw him preparing this afternoon!"From the little boy's words, Rosalie was shaken.What the little ones saw was only what had happened in the afternoon.However, she knew that it would take a lot of time to change all the previous flowers in the garden to traditional medicinal herbs.‘I don't know how long Byron has been preparing this…’Estie also urged her anxiously. "Godmother, just agree to Dadd
