After Melody left Rosalie's house, she still gave Wendy a call after some contemplation during the journey back. On the other end, Wendy saw her phone ringing early in the morning and was a little puzzled."Wendy, I've talked to Byron. You said before that Byron wanted to terminate his engagement with you, but he won't mention it again." Although this was only a one-sided request from her, her son had not refused. Hence, Melody immediately conveyed it like it was. Hearing this, Wendy was happy. "Is that true, Aunt Melody?"After saying that, she pretended to be aggrieved and continued asking, "But what about Rosalie? She seems very close to Byron. Estelle also likes her..."At the mention of Rosalie, Melody's tone sank. "Don't worry about her. Byron's future wife can only be you! As for Estelle, she’s still a child at the end of the day. You should be more patient with her. We'll let the matter slide this time, but you can't do it again in the future!"Wendy obediently promise
Byron did not come the next morning, so Rosalie sent the three children to the kindergarten herself. Miss Leigh Ann was waiting at the door and was surprised to see that she was alone. "Miss Jacobs, why are you alone today?"Hearing this, Rosalie could not help but be stunned.She had dropped the children off with Byron the past two days. She did not expect the teacher to notice it nor ask her about it straight to her face today. It looked like she had a close relationship with Byron.Rosalie did not know how to answer for a while.Estie had already taken out a small notebook to write an answer in it. [I live in Aunt’s house now!]The little one held up the notebook and smiled happily, her eyes in crescents. Miss Leigh Ann recalled how soulless the child had looked in the past two days. Seeing her happy appearance now, she could not help but smile as she reached out to caress Estie's head. "I see!"With that, she looked up at Rosalie who was in front of her and sighed inter
Rosalie did not manage to get her words of gratitude out.Andrius was also stunned but then frowned as he looked at his sister before reprimanding her coldly, "Andrea, what nonsense are you saying?"Andrea shrugged her shoulders and said dismissively, "I'm not talking nonsense. What I said is the truth. A certain someone clearly parted ways with Byron back then. Oh, she even left without saying goodbye, yet she still dared to come back and pester Byron shamelessly. Doesn’t she know that Wendy is already with Byron? I really don't know what's the difference in this behavior compared to a mistress."With that, she glanced at Rosalie disdainfully.She just did not like this woman.Even if the woman could cure her grandfather, she would not like her either!Although she had not named any names in her statements, they were clearly referring to Rosalie.Rosalie's expression sank slowly. She looked at Andrea expressionlessly and coldly replied, "Miss Quirke, you have the ability to del
Looking at Rosalie's car driving away, Andrius turned and entered the villa.Andrea was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, her expression unhappy. Seeing him come in, she just opened her eyes to glance at him before withdrawing her gaze.Andrius' expression sank when he saw his sister's appearance. "Take a look at yourself. Just what did Dr. Jacobs do to you? You lash out every time you see her. She’s a benefactor who’s treating Grandpa!"Hearing this, Andrea looked at her brother disapprovingly. "Benefactor? It’s not as if we gave her nothing. At most, we just gave each other what we needed."With that, she continued with a displeased expression, "Brother, with how you’re speaking up for her, don’t tell me you’ve been cheated by that woman as well? You asked me how she has offended me, so let me ask you, what hallucinogenic drug did she feed you?"Andrius glared at her sternly. "Stop talking nonsense! The matter between Dr. Jacobs and Byron is indeed a private matter between them.
Looking at the disconnected call, Rosalie hesitated for a moment but still put her phone away and continued with the research. It just so happened that her research also required a little more time, so it was great that Byron could go and get them.…In the small playground of the kindergarten, three children were sitting on benches with their school bags on their backs. Lucian and Nox had long gotten used to their mommy forgetting them due to her busy work and were sitting upright. They looked up occasionally to chat with Miss Leigh Ann. Estie was sandwiched between them. She was still a little anxious, but when she saw the little brothers like this, she slowly turned her attention toward them. She cradled her small face as she listened attentively to the brothers’ conversation with interest.No one even noticed when Byron arrived.Byron felt his heart warm a little when he saw the three of them sitting in a row and unconsciously quickened his pace."President Lawrence,” Miss
Nox was hungry. When he heard him ask what they wanted to eat, he immediately withdrew his attention from the layout of the restaurant and began counting on his fingers as if he were counting treasures. "I want to eat pork chops, fish, fried chicken... My brother and I like those best!"Hearing this, Byron turned to look at Lucian, who was silent beside him.Lucian did not want to answer at first, but when he heard that Nox had spoken, he could only nod silently.Byron ordered some dishes based on the children's taste. For a moment, he did not know what to say to the children, hence there was silence at the table.After the dishes were served, Byron also asked the waiter to put down two of the dishes in front of the boys. Lucian thanked him politely and distantly at this. "Thank you, Uncle.""You're welcome." Byron nodded noncommittally. He had not spent much time with the boys, after all. His tone was also a little stiff.Although he did not feed them like how Rosalie would du
Nox had initially wanted to say something, but hearing his brother's words, he suddenly became silent.He had almost forgotten that Daddy was a bad guy. He should not pay attention to him!Seeing that the two boys seemed a little unhappy, Byron frowned slightly. He knew he had asked an inappropriate question and apologized, “I apologize. I didn't mean to bring up something that upset you."He said that but did not know how else to comfort them. He opened his mouth but did not say anything.Head down, Lucian pretended to be eating seriously. "It doesn't matter. We’re used to it anyway."The atmosphere at the table was somewhat depressed for a time.After eating in silence for a while, Nox could not help but look up at Byron. His eyes were red. "Uncle, do you like children?"Byron could not help feeling stunned seeing the little boy’s appearance. As if talking to himself, Nox said, "I guess you do, right? I think you’re very kind to Estie, so you shouldn't hate children, right?
Byron thought that Rosalie was angry because the boys were upset. He promised as he was feeling sorry, "I didn't know before this, but now I do. Don't worry, I won't mention it in front of them again."Rosalie glanced at the children who were playing with Lego blocks in silence. Thinking again about how Byron had brought up the topic of their father with the two boys without her knowledge, she was afraid. Having nothing else to say to Byron, she immediately asked him to leave the house. "It's getting late. You should go back first, President Lawrence. Thank you for helping me pick up the children today."Byron hesitated for a moment before nodding. He turned and left.He felt his heart block up terribly during the journey back but still could not figure out the reason.Byron loosened his tie and sat down on the sofa for a while after getting home, but he still felt uncomfortable.After a while, he got up, grabbed a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, and poured himself a glass b
