“I’m really sorry, are you alright?”Seeing the other’s drunken state, Rosalie was vigilant as she apologized repeatedly in a way that she was hoping to avoid trouble if possible.Saying that, the person in front of her started smiling maliciously suddenly instead. His voice was a little erratic, “Hey beautiful…I’m just fine. You’d know if you joined me for a few drinks! Make me happy and I won’t nitpick on you today!”Rosalie frowned slightly. Aware the man in front of her was obviously drunk and being unreasonable, she did not intend to pay any more attention to him. She lowered her head and thought of bypassing him from his side.The drunk's voice sounded again the moment she reached his side. "Don't go, beautiful! I’m very rich. If you agree to come with me, I’ll make sure you have the time of your life forever!"He chortled lecherously twice as he said this and his eyes roamed Rosalie’s body unscrupulously. The beautiful woman in front of him had a delicate and beautiful fa
There was no one in the booth.After Byron entered, he closed the door by the way.For a time, they could only hear each other's breathing in the booth.Rosalie looked around, feeling a sense of danger for no reason, and started struggling violently."What are you trying to do? Let go of me!"In the next second, the man had effortlessly pressed her into the corner.Their bodies were almost touching each other.The man's hot breath fanned her ear.Rosalie immediately ceased her struggling and leaned against the wall. She straightened her body rigidly, even unconsciously slowing down her breathing.At this distance, her chest could bump into the person in front of her if she breathed a little heavier.There was dead silence in the booth.Rosalie clenched her teeth; her mind was in a state of chaos.No matter how long had passed, the man still made her feel an intense sense of oppression.It was just that…their relationship had already changed.Rosalie pinched her palm hard
The man’s hot lips covered hers and their breaths intertwined.Rosalie’s mind instantly went blank.She did not expect Byron to do this!The man gripped her chin in his hand, trying to force her mouth open.Rosalie suddenly came to her senses and began struggling. “Byron Lawrence, let go of me! Have you gone mad? This is a public booth! Anyone could come in at any time!”Byron retreated some distance due to her struggling. Hearing this, he said coldly, “So what? Weren’t you the one who said you were going to compensate me? Are you scared now?”Rosalie was slightly shocked. Recalling the experience that night, she felt a burst of resistance.Byron had no consciousness at all that night, likely due to the drug she had given him.Now, the man’s scent lingered and was even mixed with the faint smell of alcohol.Hearing what he said, Rosalie even began to tremble imperceptibly.Noting that she was not responding, Byron’s gaze turned dark. He leaned over and kissed her again.It w
Rosalie had nowhere to go after she ran out of the private room and could only hide in the stairwell.She leaned against the wall and was breathing heavily. Not forgetting to raise her hand, she touched her lips that hurt from being kissed, it felt as if the man’s body heat was still on them.A moment later, Rosalie lowered her gaze with self-mockery.She thought she no longer had feelings for Byron after so many years but did not expect her heart to be thrown into disarray after meeting him once. Rosalie returned to the booth after a while when her emotions had stabilized. The staff inside were still having fun and when they saw her come in, they only restrained themselves a little.Yves noticed she seemed a little different from before she left and frowned slightly. “Where did you go off to for so long? Did something happen? You…look kind of off?”Rosalie smiled and shook her head as if nothing had happened. “It’s nothing, I just called my sons.”With that, she went and sat
Estie obediently stretched out her injured hand for him to look.Bryon frowned slightly when he saw the injury on her hand. “How did this happen? Did the kids bully you?”Estie was stunned for a moment but then she forcefully shook her head. She was not bullied?Byron did not understand. “Then what happened?”Estie picked up the drawing pen again and wrote stroke by stroke into the small notebook. She wrote a few letters.S-L-I-P-E-DAfter she wrote that, she tilted her head, feeling somewhat lacking in confidence.The word was too hard to spell.Whenever she comes across a word that she did not know how to spell, she would usually make an educated guess from how it sounded or skip it entirely.She did not come across this word often and did not know if she had spelled it correctly."You slipped?”Byron looked at the letters and confirmed with her.Estie nodded.Byron let out a sigh of relief as he touched the area of the injury. “Did the teacher give you any treatment f
After the little ones went upstairs, the smile instantly fell from Rosalie’s face."What's the matter? What's on your mind?"Mary switched off the television and came to worry over her.After a moment's hesitation, Rosalie explained what happened tonight in a brief manner. "I met Byron at dinner just now."She could not talk to anyone about what happened six years ago except for Mary.Hearing this, Mary was stunned for a moment. She could not help but sigh. "Just what kind of ill-fated relationship do you guys have... Coast City is huge and here I was thinking if you don’t take the first step to go looking for him, the possibility of a meeting would be almost zero."Rosalie lowered her gaze, she seemed to be thinking of something."So, what are your thoughts now after meeting him?" Mary asked."What can I think? We already ended six years ago, now we’re just two strangers. I won't be influenced by him anymore. I just want to take good care of Lucian and Nox and live a good life
Looking at Estie being fetched away by the teacher, Byron looked away and instructed Luther, "Let's go."Luther nodded and drove to Lawrence Corporation.After arriving at the company, Byron attended multiple high-level meetings consecutively.When the meetings were over, more than an hour had passed. Byron went straight back to the office."Byron, you’re back."He heard Wendy's voice the moment he entered the room.Hearing that, Byron frowned slightly.Wendy, dressed in a small black suit, was standing at his desk with a smile. She looked like she had been waiting inside for a while."When did you arrive?”Byron strode to his desk. He glanced at the documents on the desk before finally looking at Wendy's face.Watching him take a seat, Wendy also sat down with him, smiling gently. "I just arrived a little while ago, Luther said you had gone to a meeting."Saying that, she suddenly noticed the scab at the corner of Byron's mouth, and her heart constricted. "Your mouth...di
Byron ignored Wendy's response after he said that.The reason why he decided to marry Wendy at the beginning was just to repay her grandfather's saving grace.This was the reason why he had gotten close with the Fuller family. Hence, when the elders had proposed that he marry Wendy, he had accepted it noncommittally.He had even thought that Wendy was the woman of his dreams.After learning that woman had left without saying goodbye six years ago, he then realized that his feelings for Wendy was not the love he had imagined.The elders from both families had urged him multiple times to complete the marriage procedures as soon as possible after that, but he had made excuses and shelved them.He had also done everything possible to ease the life of the Fuller family over the past six years. He agreed to all their business requirements, just to make it up for the delays.At present, the way he saw it, that kindness had been repaid adequately.At the very least, there was no need t
