Estelle felt it sounded convincing and nodded her head innocently.It was true that she did not know anything about the stock market, and it did not sound interesting to her.“Quickly finish discussing and play with Estie, then!”Estelle urged in her cute voice.Nox felt guilty and nodded.Watching Estelle heading to her bed, Nox quickly took his smartwatch and sent a message to their daddy.Byron received the message and knew Rosalie was going to a free clinic with Xander. The feeling of displeasure rose in him.However, he could not bear to stop Rosalie from going.He was also reluctant to keep the feeling in him and say nothing.After pondering, Byron called Andrius and blamed him for telling Rosalie about the Lancer family’s free clinic back then, giving her a chance to get to know Xander.Andrius was speechless when he heard Byron’s complaint. “Hey! I did that to help you keep your wife in the country. Your dear wife would’ve left the country if it were not for the Lance
The following day.Linda arrived just in time when Rosalie was having breakfast with the kids.“Miss Linda!”Lucian and Nox greeted Linda enthusiastically upon seeing her.When they were abroad, Linda took care of them when their mommy was busy with her work.To them, Linda was like Mary. She was kind of like their godmother.Linda was also enthusiastic when she greeted them, “Sweethearts, long time no see!”After hugging Lucian and Nox, Linda looked at Estie behind the two little boys.Estelle seemed a little shy before someone she had just met.“Are you Estie?” Linda held out her hand and smiled gently. “Hello, I’m Miss Linda, your mommy’s assistant. I’ll be taking care of you these two days.”Estelle looked at her mommy and her brothers.When they all beckoned her to respond, she slowly stretched out her hand and shook Linda’s hand.Linda knew what was happening and did not force her to say anything. After shaking hands, she let go and looked up at Rosalie.“How are thi
In the past, Rosalie did not care about telling Byron if she was going on a work trip.However, she was still going on a work trip with Xander even when she knew Byron hated Xander. Thus, she felt she should tell him about it.Over the past six years, she had gotten used to leaving anytime she wanted without caring about anyone else.She would have forgotten if Nox had not reminded her.Nox noticed the change on his mommy’s face. He knew what he said had taken effect and looked at Rosalie with expectation. He prayed silently, hoping their daddy would be there soon.Rosalie pondered for a while before taking out her phone to dial Byron’s number.Unexpectedly, just as she had found Byron’s number in her contact list, she heard a honk outside the villa.Rosalie seemed to know it was Byron and kept her phone before walking out of the house with her suitcase.The Bentley pulled over at her doorway. Byron wore a grey shirt, and his cuffs were folded up. He casually got out of the car
Byron’s car gradually drove up the highway.Rosalie still found it strange and finally could not suppress her urge to ask.“Are you going to Hiro because of work?”Byron focused on the road, but he nodded when he heard her question. “There are some account problems in the branch in Hiro that need to be checked.”Doubtful of that answer, Rosalie asked, “Do you need to go personally?”Although she did not have much experience in business, she felt it was not necessary for the company’s president to check on the problem with the accounts personally.“The person in charge over there is a member of the Lawrence family. If we send someone over, we may be unable to overpower them, so I have to go there myself.”Rosalie finally believed him, and it changed her perception of Byron.She had always thought that all he needed to do was sit in an office and come up with strategies.Unexpectedly, the company had so many trifles that he needed to worry over.“What about you? Why do you have
It was quiet again in the car.Byron thought Rosalie would comfort him or explain after his generous words.However, Rosalie said nothing for some time.Anger almost overpowered Byron, but he had just said those things and could only endure the wrath.Fortunately, Nox told him about it in time.Otherwise, the thought of Rosalie taking for granted her working with Xander made him angry.“You can also take this free clinic as a trip away from the incident before.”Byron said something he did not mean to say, “The comments on the internet in the past two days must have caused a great impact on you. It’s my fault. I originally planned to take you on a trip when I returned from a business trip, but this free clinic seems a good opportunity.”Rosalie snapped out of her thought. Something struck her, and she said, “I’m sorry to trouble you because of the comments.”Byron frowned. “It’s because of me that you were wronged. I should apologize to you.”Rosalie hesitated and continued.
Byron tapped on the steering wheel and said confidently, “I’ll go repair the car. It shouldn’t take long.”Rosalie looked around them.They were not even near the toll or any service area. No one was around, and the place looked deserted.She could see no building nearby, not to mention a car repair workshop.“Don’t you have a spare tire?”Rosalie asked, hoping they were lucky.Byron frowned and answered, “I used it a while ago and forgot to put a new one back.”Feeling helpless, Rosalie looked at their surroundings.No one would notice them there even if they had a car crash.That thought made Rosalie feel uneasy.“You shouldn’t take any chances. I think it’s a long way from the workshop, and the tire won’t last that long. Why don’t you call the service hotline and we’ll wait here for them?”She looked back and tried to advise Byron not to take the risk.If they were together, they would at least have company.Byron looked at the time. “You’re going to wait with me? Aren’
She thought Byron was trying to hold her hand…Now that she thought about it, Byron would not have done something childish like that.“What’s on your mind?”Byron noticed that the woman behind him was suddenly silent. He stopped and turned around to look at her with concern.Rosalie snapped out of her thoughts, her face flushing when she recalled what she had been thinking. “Nothing.”Byron lifted his eyebrow, unconvinced by her answer.Rosalie touched her belly and said, “I’m a little hungry after walking for a while. Is there any restaurant nearby where we can eat?”Before she could take away her hand from her belly, Byron grabbed it.Rosalie’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at their interlocked hands bewilderedly.“Come on. I’ll take you to a restaurant.”Byron dragged the suitcase with one hand and held her hand with another. He strode beside her.Rosalie walked along with him in amazement.The town by the mountainside had beautiful scenery, but the place was a litt
“You’ve misunderstood…”Rosalie looked away from the man opposite her and wanted to explain their relationship to the owner.The owner of the restaurant looked at her in disbelief. “That’s impossible. I saw you holding hands while walking in. To be honest, I’ve noticed you guys since you walked onto this street because of your outstanding features.”He spoke as he glanced and patted Rosalie’s suitcase, trying to prove himself right. “Is this suitcase yours? I saw your husband taking it, so naturally from you…”The owner described what he saw in detail.The people in the pizza shop were already curious about Rosalie and Byron.The customers stared at them one after another upon hearing the boss’ words.Some people even asked them curiously, “Are you stars here to film movies?”Rosalie understood it was pointless trying to convince the boss. She explained helplessly, “We’re not celebrities. Our car broke down, and we happened to pass by.”Only then did the owner stop asking ques
