Chapter 175 She Had Felt Exactly The Same Way
That went on for a few days. Estie had Rosalie to keep her company at home, but she was all alone at the kindergarten.She watched as the boys played with the other children but ignored her. Finally, Estie mustered up the courage and ran up to them.The boys exchanged a look and said sternly, “What is it now?”Estie gripped the hem of her little dress until it was crumpled, and she had a deep frown on her pretty brow. She looked at them solemnly, opening her mouth and trying hard to vocalize.Lucian and Nox watched her, anxiously and worriedly.If they had not known that Estie could speak, they would never have been willing to force her like this.They waited until they were about to give, when suddenly they heard a miniscule sound.“Lu… No…”Estie’s face was red as a tomato, but she could only manage a syllable for each of them. She lowered her head dejectedly.Lucian and Nox were overjoyed, however. They wrapped her up in a huge bear hug. “That was amazing, Estie!”Their hu
Chapter 176 Where Did He Go?
Byron had been somewhat busy lately too, but he still showed up at Rosalie's door every day.Every so often, he would remember the sight of Rosalie meeting Leon in private and the way Rosalie had turned the conversation against him later in the car.Because of their argument that time, Rosalie even asked him to take Estie back home. Since then, Byron would stop by but stay out of Rosalie's sight. He would simply watch the four of them from afar.As he watched, Estie grew livelier by the day. At first, Byron assumed she just liked Rosalie, but now the little girl was even starting to speak.At the same time, Wendy rushed to the Lawrence Corporation as soon as the working day was over. "Sorry, Miss Fuller. The Master just left." Luther had just gotten off from work too, and he called out to Wendy when he saw her hitting the button for the President's floor.Wendy's expression turned a little hard at that. "Where did he go?"Luther gave her a polite smile. "How would I know where
Chapter 177 That Won’t Do
The three of them discussed the matter for a while before immediately inviting the Lawrences out for dinner at River View Lodge.When Melody and Benedict arrived at the restaurant, Wendy and her parents were already waiting for them in a private room. Wendy's head was lowered and she seemed to be feeling down, while her parents looked less than pleased too. When the Lawrences came in, Wendy looked up and forced a smile. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence."That was all she could manage before her smile faded. She acted as though she had been deeply wronged.Melody was confused. "What's the matter, Wendy? Did someone do something to hurt you? Could you tell me?"As soon as she said that, Magdalene replied, "It's all because of those rumors going around. They're making our Wendy sound like a fool who doesn't know her own place. She's been crying herself to sleep every night lately."Wendy hastily denied it. "No, I know Byron didn't mean anything like that. I heard about those rumors, b
Chapter 178 Announce The News
In the private room, Wendy lifted her head slowly. There were no traces of tears on her face.“Now just wait and see!” Magdalene tugged at the corners of her lips confidently.The only other way to get rid of the rumors other than cancelling the engagement was to go through with it!She was certain that Melody was thinking the same thing!…The next morning, when Byron arrived at the office, he noticed that Luther’s expression was slightly odd.“What’s the matter?” Byron asked, confused.Luther hesitated for a moment, but he could not hold back his curiosity. “Master, are you and Miss Fuller…”Byron frowned slightly. “What about us?”Seeing the confusion on his master’s face, Luther added carefully, “Are you two really going to get married?”He immediately lowered his head after asking.He had heard the rumors first thing in the morning. Everyone was saying that his master was finally going to get engaged to Miss Fuller.Outsiders may not know any better, but Luther had bee
Chapter 179 Get To Know Each Other
Byron stood in front of the window for a long time before he pulled out his phone and called his father.His call went through quickly."What's up, Byron?" Benedict had not gone to work that day. He was eating breakfast at home, and he looked up at Melody opposite him when he picked up his son's call. Melody immediately knew what was going on when she heard it was her son calling. She held out her hand to take the phone from Benedict.Benedict did not protest, handing her the phone as she wished.On the other end, Byron had no idea what was going on. He asked in a low voice, "Were you the one who spread the news about the engagement?"Even though Luther had already confirmed it, he still wanted to hear it straight from his father's mouth. However, it was his mother who replied."It was my idea. Is something wrong?" Melody said matter-of-factly. Byron was slightly taken aback. After a moment, he began to frown. "Why didn't you ask me what I thought first? This is my marriage
Chapter 180 What Are You Doing Here?
At the same time…Rosalie had a habit of watching the news over breakfast. She took care of the three children while keeping an ear out for the news broadcast."The engagement between the Lawrences and Fullers has lasted for six long years. Now, we finally have confirmation that the marriage will take place in the near future," said a man's voice.Rosalie paused halfway through filling the children's plates. After a few seconds of silence, she continued as though nothing had happened. Meanwhile, Lucian and Nox immediately lost their appetite. Their expressions crumpled.While they were abroad, they had been curious about their father too. They could not wait to see him. After they returned to the country and realized that their Daddy had another child, the two boys resented him for it. They even hated him for abandoning their mother. Once they had gotten to know him better, though, they noticed that Daddy was not as cruel and heartless to Mommy as they had thought. In fact, h
Chapter 181 Children Are Innocent
Byron vaguely heard the sound of the news broadcast inside and knew that Rosalie should have also listened to the news. He frowned and tried to read her expression, but he did not notice anything amiss. After a long while, she said in a deep voice, "I've come to see Estie, how is she?" Rosalie stepped sideways to make way for him, "She's upstairs. You came just in time; I also have something to tell you about Estie." The two walked into the living room. Rosalie asked Byron to sit down on the sofa, while she sat on the single-seater beside him. Mrs. Zora quickly poured tea for the two of them. Seeing that they had something to say, she left quickly. "What's the matter?" Byron saw Rosalie's face, and his heart sank. Rosalie said indifferently, “I promised to let Estie live here before because of Estie's condition. In the past two days, Estie's condition has been much better. She has even learned to speak recently, and it is considered a great improvement. I think she no longe
Chapter 182 This Is Not Your Home
After a long silence, Byron broke the silence coldly, "As you wish." Rosalie nodded and went upstairs to tell Estie to come down. The three children were in Lucian and Nox's bedroom and looked dejected. The atmosphere in the bedroom was somber. Lucian and Nox were playing with a robot in their hands, while Estie buried her face in her doll's stomach. They were all staring into space. The three children looked over in unison when they heard the door opening. Rosalie's heart softened when she met the children’s hopeful gazes. Thinking of the man downstairs, she steeled her heart and said softly, "Estie, your father is here to pick you up." Hearing this, the three children were all stunned. Estie opened her eyes blankly and hugged the doll in her arms. Rosalie lowered her eyes and repeated awkwardly, "Your father is waiting downstairs, come down quickly." After speaking, she waited silently at the door. "Auntie..." Estie's timid voice piped up reluctantly. Rosalie fo
