Chapter 196 Will Throw A Tantrum At Me
Byron was holding Estie’s hand while he looked at the woman who had a cold expression. He spoke sarcastically, “Miss Jacobs, you don’t have to avoid me at all costs like this even if I were a stranger. I was intending to send Estie to kindergarten. Besides, I’ll be passing by your research institute from the kindergarten on the way to Lawrence Corporation. That’s why I offered to give you a ride. I don’t understand why you’re getting your guards up.” His words implied that Rosalie’s move was somewhat too sensitive. Estie, too, wanted to be with the beautiful aunt for a while longer. Upon hearing this, her pair of big, round eyes were locked on Rosalie. “Aunt…” Rosalie could not help but soften her heart. Besides, Byron’s words left her with no refute. They had nothing to do with each other. If she continued rejecting such harmless offers, it would seem like she was petty.The thought of this convinced Rosalie to agree. She said to Lisa, “You should head back first. I’ll send
Chapter 197 What Did You Say?
The same evening that day. Wendy was inspecting the office and felt that the employees’ gazes on her were strange.“President Lawrence sure is good to you, President Fuller. We’re all jealous to death!” A female employee she was close with came up and teased her. Upon hearing this, Wendy was stunned. She then forced out a smile that showed a matter of course and casually asked, “Really? How did you notice it?"The smile on the female employee’s face became more flattering. “Everyone knows about how President Lawrence took care of you all night long at the hospital. You’re still able to come to work on time this morning. You surely are our role model!” Wendy’s expression slightly stiffened. “What did you say?”President Lawrence took care of her all night long at the hospital?She was fine these two days. When did she end up in the hospital?The female employee thought she was just shy, so she immediately pulled out her phone, swiped up a piece of news media, and showed her.
Chapter 198 There Was A Variable
The other employees outside still treated the news as true and exchanged opinions about her. “Previously there were rumors that President Lawrence refused to marry President Fuller and kept dragging the wedding ceremony. Who knew he was this caring behind closed doors?” “President Lawrence is so handsome and caring. I want a boyfriend like him too!”“…”When she heard the chatter, Wendy’s expression changed for the worse. Her palms almost bled from her clenched fists. She then forced herself to suppress her anger. “Don’t discuss unimportant matters during working hours. All of you, get back to work!”After saying this, Wendy gave the chattering employees a cold look, turned around without looking back, and strode away.She could not take it anymore! The more those people talked, the more her temper shot up! The moment she left the office, Wendy drove straight home. At the Fuller family’s villa, Magdalene and Henry were sitting in the living room when they suddenly saw their
Chapter 199 President Lawrence’s Woman, As Expected
The three of them discussed it for quite some time and felt that this matter still needed Melody’s help. After all, Melody was the most supportive person when it came to marrying Wendy into the Lawrence family. Byron would at least listen to what she would say. With that, Magdalene called Melody for a meet-up right away.“Wendy is here too? Is there anything you want to eat? It’s on me today.” Melody did not see the unusual expression on their faces and sat across them with a smile on her face. Wendy forced out a smile. “Thanks, Aunt Melody, but I don’t have much of an appetite today.” After saying this, she gloomily lowered her head with both hands placed on her knees, fingertips intertwined. Seeing her like that, Melody asked with great concern, “Are you in a bad mood? What’s the matter?” Wendy pursed her lips and shook her head. Melody looked at Magdalene confused. Magdalene too forced out a smile. She took out her phone and opened Twitter. This time, without her e
Chapter 200 It Was Somewhat Hilarious
Rosalie had just gotten off work when she heard the employees of the research institute discuss Byron and Wendy’s relationship.“Mr. Lawrence is so sweet. He took care of his fiancee the entire night yesterday. Even my boyfriend might not be able to do what he did.”“The key is that he’s handsome and rich, while his fiancee is really pretty! She looks a little like our Dr. Jacobs, so she must be a beauty!”“...”A bunch of research institute employees were discussing as they walked. When they saw Rosalie, they bade her goodbye. “Bye, Dr. Jacobs.”Rosalie said her goodbyes to each and every one of them with a smile.However, when she overheard what they were talking about, she felt like something was amiss.Byron took care of his fiancee the whole night yesterday?The thing was, Byron was with her the entire night. When did he meet up with Wendy, then?Just when she felt like something weird was going on, Yves rushed in from behind her and asked, “Are you free tonight? Wanna ha
Chapter 201 Is Clarification Required?
“Any hot topics recently?” Yves noticed that she was scrolling on her social media for a while, so he asked her out of curiosity.Rosalie retracted her thoughts and smiled nonchalantly as she replied, “Nothing much. I just saw some gossip.”With the state of her current relationship with Byron at that moment, all Byron-related news was indeed merely gossip to her.Yves wanted to have a chat with her, so he continued the conversation. “What kind of gossip? Anything happened to artists recently?”Rosalie did not expect him to continue the conversation. She was taken aback and mumbled in reply, “Not an artist. I don’t remember what their name was as well, so I just clicked in randomly.”Before Yves could add to the conversation, Rosalie changed the topic subtly. “This project is pretty time-consuming, right? Even I find it a little tough.”Yves' eyebrows rose subtly as he changed the topic just as Rosalie desired.Rosalie got off work early today, and with Yves driving her around,
Chapter 202 We Should Give Her An Explanation
Seeing that it was time for the kids in kindergarten to be out of school, Byron slowly put away his thoughts and drove to the kindergarten.According to Estie’s usual practice, he would probably bump into that woman at the kindergarten as well.When he arrived at the kindergarten, even though he was not that late, that woman and the two little fellas had already left.Estie had already gotten used to waiting for her daddy with the two boys, but now, she was left alone, clutching onto Miss Leigh Ann’s hand timidly.“Mr. Lawrence, you’re here.” Miss Leigh Ann knew about Estie, so she was also careful with her.When she saw that Byron had arrived, she breathed a secret sigh of relief.Byron nodded as he took Estie over from her hand.Even after entering the car, Estie’s mood was still not as lifted.Byron frowned. He could not help but ask, “Why were you alone today?”The little girl knew what he was asking. She lowered her gaze, her kiddy voice a little sulky as she said, “Aunt
Chapter 203 It Can Only Be Wendy
After hearing his mother’s words, Byron smirked mockingly. “If I don’t have plans to go through with that, what do you think Wendy should think about herself?”Shock flashed through Melody’s eyes and transformed into rage. “What the heck are you talking about? Wendy’s waited for you for so many years, and think of the number of sacrifices she’s made for you! You dare tell me now that you don’t intend to go through with it? The news of our two families coming together has been circulating out there for so many years. Didn’t you think of what the world would think of us if we ever called off the union?” Byron snapped coldly, “Why did you think I’ve never responded to this for the past six years? I’ve already told you before that I don’t need you getting involved in this. I’ll handle it!”The underlying meaning was that he indeed had no intentions of going through with the engagement with Wendy.Understanding the meaning between the lines of his words, Melody’s face fell.She had in
