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
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
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.
Estie's childlike voice was very obvious through the sound of the splash. Hearing this, Rosalie could not help but be stunned. She had even doubted her ears. She looked at the little girl squatting down by the pool with a pair of bright eyes.Nox also stopped what he was doing, stupefied. He ended up getting splashed with water.Estie had already turned back around to continue playing with the little whale, completely unaware of the shock felt by all three people. At the start of the next session, the staff asked them to return to their seats.Rosalie and the boys still had not recovered yet, but Estie was sitting down next to Rosalie as if nothing had happened."What's the matter?" Seeing their haunted appearances, Byron frowned and asked.Rosalie returned to her senses. She looked at Estie and replied in a low voice, "I think Estie… spoke just now." Moreover, she spoke fluently and had a nice voice.Byron looked at his daughter with surprise and asked, "What did she say?"
Rosalie also guessed what the man was thinking and could not help feeling a little eager.Seeing the little girl pull out a pen and paper from her bag, however, the eagerness fell short. She did not show it on her face and just said, "Don't worry. Estie’s situation has just only turned around and is still not stable. She probably just spoke out of a moment of excitement. It takes time."Byron nodded noncommittally.Indeed, as Rosalie said, the fact that the little one could speak was already progress in a good direction. He did not ask for anything more and just let it be.Estie wrote a little while also pondering. It took a while before she finally answered all their questions.Byron and Nox acknowledged them in support.The children were still not sated when the beluga whale performance ended.Rosalie looked at the time and noted that it was still early, so she simply took them around to continue having fun.Byron did not bring up the reason for him coming over either and jus
Rosalie hesitated for a moment but still asked, "I don’t think these are for Estie, yes?”Byron admitted noncommittally, "These are for Lucian and Nox. I said something wrong a few days ago. I thought about it carefully after I went back and felt that although they’re children, I should also apologize to them properly. I noticed some of the things in your house the last time and figured they should like these."With that, Byron looked down at the two boys and handed the boxes to them. "I’d like to apologize to you two with some presents. I don’t know if you’ll like these?"The boys’ eyes were shining.Boys inevitably liked things like robots and race cars. Since their IQ levels exceeded that of their peers, the things they played with were also more geared toward those for adults. Over time, they came to like these high-tech things.They had pestered their mommy to buy them quite a few, but some of them were really expensive. Although they really liked them, they were sensible and
Byron and Luther helped move the boxes into Rosalie's car. Without saying anything more, they left.After getting into the car, Luther hesitated before asking, "Sir, don't you want to spend more time with the little lady?"During this period of time, the little lady had been living in Rosalie's house, so contact with her father had been scant. He was afraid that the father and daughter would become distant.Byron shook his head and said nothing.The boys obviously had not truly forgiven him. He had followed them the entire day. If he were to continue following them, he was afraid that the little favor he had scraped with the gifts would disappear.Thinking of the boys’ attitude toward him, Byron could not help but have a headache.The ringing of a mobile phone sounded in the car.Byron put his thoughts away and answered the phone with a frown. "What is it?"Andrius' voice rang out from the other end, "Byron, are you free in two days? My grandfather's 70th birthday is coming soo
