Melody did not think she was doing anything wrong. She was only thinking on behalf of the Lawrence family. On the contrary, Byron was getting more and more insensible.Then, she looked at her son expectantly, hoping he would understand.Unexpectedly, Byron still looked at her indifferently and did not change his mind. “Most of Lawrence Corporation’s success today is because of me. So, it’s my choice to choose who I should distribute the assets.”As long as the boys were capable, he would not mind handing Lawrence Corporation to them.Melody could barely catch her breath upon hearing this.“Moreover, they’re so young. Don’t you think it’s too early to worry about this now?” Byron glanced at his mother.Melody wanted to continue to persuade Byron, but he interrupted her. “As for you, you’re getting old and don’t have to meddle with all these anymore. I can deal with my own matters. If you have so much leisure time, why don’t you go on a trip with Dad? It would be good for your heal
Benedict knitted his eyebrows together and sounded helpless.“I’ve told you before that you should let him handle his own marriage. Children and grandchildren have their lives. We don’t have to interfere so much.”Melody disapproved of Benedict’s perception. “No, I can’t just let him be. Is his marriage his matter? It would be fine if he’s marrying some other woman, but…“Of all people, he wants to marry that Jacobs woman who even has two brats!”Benedict could see Melody was displeased with Rosalie. However, he still spoke to her patiently, “No matter who Byron marries, it’s his matter. He’s an adult. We can’t interfere with everything he does.”Melody refused to give in and continued complaining, “If he had married Wendy years ago, it wouldn’t have ended like this.”Then, she glanced at her husband beside her and blamed him for it. “It’s your fault for letting him do as he wishes. That’s why he dragged on his marriage with Wendy until today.”“Facts have proved that Wendy isn’
Benedict was puzzled. “Why? You’re Estie’s grandmother. Why wouldn’t she let you visit Estie? Is there any misunderstanding between you and her?”Melody sighed sadly. “What misunderstanding can there be? She has had a grudge against me since she left six years ago. After she returned, I tried to get Wendy to marry Byron and restricted her from meeting Byron. I guess she hates me because of that.”With that, she lowered her head and leaned her upper body on Benedict’s arm as if she had been suffering from grievances.“She hasn’t got back together with Byron, yet she’s already treating me like this. What should I do if she marries Byron one day? Will she stop me from visiting my son and granddaughter?”Benedict knew nothing about the previous conflicts between the two.His first reaction was to try to settle the problem upon hearing his wife’s words.“There must have been a misunderstanding between you two. Just talk it out.”He believed his son would never fall for a woman who wa
Byron did not expect his father to want to meet Estelle so soon.After hanging up the call, Byron looked at the time. It was still early. He wanted to call Rosalie to tell her about it, but after pondering, he headed downstairs with his coat.Downstairs, Mrs. Zora had prepared dinner. When she saw Byron, she said, “Sir, dinner is ready.”Byron paused and said, “You can have dinner. I won’t be eating at home tonight.”Before Mrs. Zora could process what he had just said, he strode out of the manor.Upon seeing Byron leaving, she was a little puzzled but soon realized what he meant.Who else could make Byron go out with such an expression and leave the house in a hurry?Byron was going to Rosalie’s place again! He must be having dinner there that night....When she heard the doorbell, Rosalie had just finished cooking dinner and was taking the kids to a table.She put down her cutlery, got up, and looked at the intercom. She froze momentarily when she saw the person on the scr
Rosalie took the plates and cutlery to the kitchen. She thought the matter was serious and wanted to talk to Byron about it in her study.Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Byron standing outside the kitchen, folding his sleeves.Before she realized what he was up to, he was already in the kitchen, lookng like he was in his house. He took the plates she had washed and wiped them.Rosalie was startled to see him do house chores.That gave her the illusion that they were a married couple who had lived together for years.Moreover, seeing President Lawrence doing household chores in the kitchen was unbelievable.It shocked her to see that.Byron casually stated his intention to visit her, “My dad said he wants to pick Estie up from kindergarten tomorrow.”Rosalie snapped out of her thoughts and said, “You…”She remembered Byron had told her that if his parents wanted to meet Estelle, they had to ask for his permission.Byron said, “I agreed to his request. He seems to
Noticing that Rosalie was still in a daze, Byron could not control his hand touching her cheek.“You...”After being stunned for a few seconds, Rosalie snapped out of it and felt embarrassed.Byron had constantly sneak attacked her when they were abroad, and Rosalie later understood what made him do that.However, she did nothing this time, yet that man still…Byron looked at her innocently. “Sorry, I couldn’t help it.”Rosalie glared at him upon hearing his excuse, but she could say nothing about it. All she could do was turn around as if nothing had happened and put the plates back in the cabinet.They spent some time washing dishes. The little ones clung to Byron for some time when they came out, and he played with them.Only when it was late at night did he get into his car and head home.Rosalie and the kids watched him leave.Back in the villa, Rosalie looked at Lucian and Nox, who lay in bed, and headed back to her bedroom to tuck Estelle into bed.“Estie, is it okay
As Lucille watched the little ones play happily not far away, she could not help but think of the days when she scrimped and saved abroad.If not for Wendy, she would have had trouble continuing her studies.Initially, Wendy planned to give her a job at Fuller Industries when she returned.Lucille was grateful that Wendy would help her no matter what.When Wendy complained about Rosalie, Lucille also started hating Rosalie.However, neither expected the Fuller family to fall before Lucille returned.According to Wendy, the biggest reason her family perished was that Rosalie snatched her man and even instigated Byron to hurt her. Only then did Byron intend to destroy her family.First, Rosalie hurt Lucille’s only friend. Second, Rosalie was the reason Fuller Industries perished, making Lucille lose her opportunity to get a good job.Lucille would, of course, hate Rosalie.Her return to the country and choosing to work at the kindergarten was also Wendy’s idea.Since Rosalie ha
The next game required them to hop on one leg. All the kids went to the equipment room to get their sneakers.Nox put on his shoes, but it felt strange when he walked. However, he did not think much about it. He thought it was because he had not worn his sneakers for a long time and was not used to them.Moreover, Lucian and Estelle were urging him to hurry up. Thus, the little boy ignored the strange feeling the sneakers gave him. He smiled and followed them to the open space.Jumping on one foot was an individual event, and Nox was at the end of the line.After Lucian and Estelle completed their turn, they watched Nox from aside.“Everybody, be careful. Safety first.”Miss Leigh Ann reminded the kids from aside.Lucille stood nearby as if ready to protect the little ones.The three kids did well in the first few events.When it was Nox’s turn to jump, the kids surrounded him and cheered.It sparked Nox’s competitive nature, and he jumped with all his might.Listening to th
