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
In the afternoon, 1,000 Degrees Cafe.Wendy and Andrea sat face to face, drinking coffee and chatting.As they conversed, Andrea talked about the old master's 70th birthday."Wendy, you’re attending my grandfather's 70th birthday, yes?" Andrea asked like she had some other intention.Wendy had also received the news. The Quirkes shared a deep friendship with the Lawrences. Naturally, she wanted to make an appearance. She nodded, "I'll be attending. What's the matter?"Andrea asked intimately, "So... Byron will be going with you, right? You two are recognized as a couple!"Hearing this, Wendy hesitated for a moment.Wendy knew that Byron would be going, but she was not sure if he would be attending with her.After all, although Byron had not dissolved their engagement in these years, he was also not that close to her.Andrea was completely unaware of her concerns and just said, "You two must attend together so you can let some people know just what your status is!"Andrea had
Rosalie gave the old master his last treatment before the birthday banquet. The old master was also in much better spirits than before. He could even get out of bed to move around. He just could not walk for too long.Rosalie prescribed some medicine for him again and told the old master to take it on time. The entire treatment was then over.Finally, it was the day of the birthday banquet.After finishing her work at the research institute, Rosalie went home and gave herself a simple makeover. After changing her clothes and tying up her long hair, she then went to the banquet donning simple and elegant makeup.When she arrived at the Quirke family’s manor, the birthday banquet was just about to begin. There were many luxury cars parked outside the manor. Walking in, the hall was full of guests, all of whom were prominent figures of Coast City.Rosalie had lived in Coast City for a period of time before this. She knew many of the faces, but only a handful of people knew her.Neve
After waiting for a long time, Wendy finally came out of the compartment."Not bad. Just wear this one." Melody looked at her dress and nodded with satisfaction.Wendy smiled obediently and turned to Byron. "Byron, you're here!"Byron nodded expressionlessly.Wendy pretended not to have noticed his indifference and said with a smile, "Aunt Melody asked me to come here with her to pick a dress together. Do you think this dress is fine?”Saying this, she spun around once lightly.Byron was a little displeased that his mother had arranged this. Hearing this, Byron just glanced at her before nodding perfunctorily. "It’s fine."Seeing that he was still indifferent, Wendy was a little embarrassed, but she still wore a smile on her face.To the side, Melody finally got up. "Wendy, since you’re also going to the Quirke household, just come with us."Wendy responded with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Melody!"After saying that, she timidly looked at Byron who was at the side as if she had
When she said that, the Quirkes looked toward the door of the villa one after another. Rosalie also subconsciously followed.They saw Byron dressed in a black custom suit, which was carefully tailored to outline the man's toned body. His hair was combed back, revealing his sharp facial features. A few strands of hair had fallen onto his forehead, setting off the man's cold eyes. His entire person exuded an air of aloofness.For a moment, all the guests' eyes fell on him.Wendy was a few steps behind Byron. She wore a high-profile crow-black dress. Her carefully curled hair hung on her chest, and her red lips were eye-catching. She was entirely wrapped around Melody's arm affectionately while following Byron's steps closely.Her dress looked like it matched Byron's suit, just like a couple. With how intimate she was with Melody, it was practically an announcement to everyone that Wendy would be the future young mistress of the Lawrence family.Seeing this, Andrea glanced at Rosalie
