Chapter 142 That’s Not What I Meant
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
Chapter 143 Off To Pick Up The Kids
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.
Chapter 144 Why Are You The One Who Came To Get Us?
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
Chapter 145 He Doesn’t Want Us, We Don’t Like Him
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
Chapter 146 Feeling Disappointed
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?
Chapter 147 Heart Aches
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
Chapter 148 Compensating Her
Byron made no appearances again for the next several days in succession, which could be due to him having made Lucian and Nox unhappy. He just sent messages frequently to ask about Estie's situation.Rosalie was also more vigilant toward him because of what had happened. She was secretly relieved when she noted that he had not been coming over.After receiving his messages and noting that they had nothing to do with Lucian and Nox, she replied to them one by one. However, Byron messaged her quite frequently, which showed that he still cared for Estie very much.With how much he cared for his daughter, he still did not make an appearance for the past few days and left her just like that in her house. Rosalie wondered what the man was thinking, being so confident in her. Rosalie had been a little confused for a while now.Fortunately, Estie was very likable. The little girl was cute and delicate. She had an especially cute and clingy personality.Every time the little girl acted
Chapter 149 Estie Spoke Again
Call disconnected, Rosalie looked at the children who were playing enthusiastically and could not help feeling a little uneasy.Considering what happened the last time, she was afraid that Byron would mention Lucian and Nox’s parentage again.She also did not want Byron to see Estie’s current situation and then decide to bring her home.After a while, Byron called again. "I'm here. What program are you in now?"The children were clamoring to see the beluga whale show.After Rosalie agreed to it, she replied, "We'll wait for you in the beluga aquarium."After hanging up the call, Rosalie brought the kids there. Byron had Luther buy the tickets and immediately went to the beluga aquarium.Rosalie and three children were sitting in the front row. Byron saw them the moment he came in and went to sit beside them.Seeing her daddy, Estie greeted him with a smile and then immediately focused on the beluga performance.Lucian and Nox nodded to him distantly without even saying hello.
