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
The principal, Miss Leigh Ann, and Lucille accompanied Nox to the infirmary while other teachers looked after the other kids.Nox was crying so loud that it tensed up the infirmary’s atmosphere.“How is his injury, doctor?”The principal asked anxiously after the doctor examined Nox.It would be fine if it were before this. However, Nox was the young master of the Lawrence family. If anything happened to him in the kindergarten, the principal was afraid he could not face Byron.Lucian and Nox also looked at the doctor seriously and anxiously.The doctor took the first aid kit and cleaned Nox’s wound. “It’s easy to deal with the wounded part. However, I suspect he strained his ligament and bruised his cartilage. Please send him to the hospital to get a thorough check-up.”The principal almost fainted upon hearing that.Lucian’s expression was gloomy, and he took Estelle out of the infirmary and called their mommy.Since they had to take Nox to the hospital, it meant Nox’s injur
Rosalie was on her way to the hospital, and panic fluttered in her stomach. She stepped on the accelerator all the way there and almost broke the traffic rules.Although Lucian and Nox had been independent since they were infants, it was the first time Nox got injured.Rosalie was worried thinking about it.She parked the car and strode into the hospital when she arrived.Miss Leigh Ann was kind enough to send her a message about the building and department they were in when she arrived at the hospital with Nox.Rosalie did not spend much time getting over to them.“Mommy!”Lucian could hold back no more when he saw his mommy. He grabbed his mommy so hard that Rosalie felt pain.Estelle was also grabbing her shirt.Rosalie comforted the little ones by touching their heads. Then, she looked at Miss Leigh Ann. “Miss Leigh Ann, how is Nox now?”Miss Leigh Ann apologized. “We aren’t sure about his condition now. The doctor in our infirmary said it might be a bruised cartilage and
After Rosalie got the doctor's permission, she took the little ones back home.On the other hand, after school was over, Benedict and Melody waited at the kindergarten gate early, but they did not see Estie.They waited and waited, watching all the children in the kindergarten get picked up. However, Estie was nowhere to be seen.The two wanted to ask the teacher what was going on but belatedly remembered that they rarely came to send Estie to and from school. They did not even know which class the little girl was in."Estie is nowhere to be seen, yet she said she’ll let us pick Estie up..." Melody was very dissatisfied.Benedict did not look great either, so he called Byron and asked, "Did you inform Rosalie? We’re at the gate of the kindergarten now. Where’s Estie?"When Byron heard this, suspicion flashed across his eyes. "Wait a minute. I'll call Rosalie. She agreed yesterday. Something must have happened."Benedict did not answer.Byron hung up the phone and called Rosalie
