Rosalie only felt worried on their way out of the airport and had turned back from time to time to make sure if the man had followed them.Fortunately, they did not see the figure again by the time they walked out of the gates of the airport.Rosalie was relieved.The two little ones she was leading found it strange that their mommy turned back almost every three steps along the way.However, noting her nervous appearance, they knew this was not a good time to ask her questions. They just followed her as they walked out."Rosalie! Lucian, Nox!"A female voice sounded from a distance.The three of them looked up and saw a woman across the road who was dressed smartly. She was waving as she smiled and walked quickly toward them.Looking at the individual, Rosalie slowly relaxed and a smile appeared on her face. "Mary, long time no see!"Mary Wilson was her best friend when she was in college. She was now also a doctor and worked in her own hospital.Mary quickly walked up to th
A guess flashed through Rosalie's mind. This little girl, she could not be hard of speaking, could she?Thinking of this possibility, she felt pity for the little girl and whispered, "Give me your hand, will you?"Then, she offered her hand forward.The little girl looked at her timidly, but her expression softened when she heard her voice.Rosalie was not in a hurry. She waited patiently for her as she slowly accepted her.The little girl hesitated for a long time before trying to reach out to Rosalie.Seeing this, Rosalie immediately grasped her hand gently. She smiled and helped the little girl up before checking her again. The distance between them narrowed because of this action.The little girl's body was soft and smelled of milk.Rosalie's heart was soft, but she could not help thinking of her child who had died young.If she had grown up well, she would be about this big now!Thinking of this, Rosalie could not help the traces of heartache and regret in her eyes.T
Byron looked at her coldly for a few seconds.Wendy pinched the palm of her hand placidly, afraid that she might give herself away.“You better be telling the truth.”Byron looked away after a moment to look toward Luther who was waiting at the side. “Have we heard anything from the police?”Luther’s tone was heavy, “Not yet for now.”Saying that, he carefully glanced at Byron and added worryingly, “Could the little lady have been kidnapped?”The little lady was his master’s sweetheart, she held a valued position within the Lawrence household, and everyone watched over her through the years.She had almost been kidnapped before in the past.Now nobody could find her and even the police had no news which compelled Luther to wonder if she had been kidnapped.Hearing this, Byron's gaze darkened suddenly, and he said in a fierce voice, "Send out more people and expand the area. We must find her today!""Yes!"The master’s anger was practically solidifying. There was a chill in L
The Drunken Divine's Dwelling was the largest private restaurant in Coast City. Their service was excellent, and their dishes were full of color and flavor. It was only open to exclusive customers and reservations needed to be made a month in advance.Mary had managed to pull a few strings to get their number yesterday.The layout of the restaurant was also very elegant. Each seat was separated by a screen and a small wooden door had been constructed in the front. The top was not sealed so that when dinner was underway, the chandelier at the top would create a full atmosphere. The imagery was quite like when people of the olden days partook in drinking under the moon.They pushed opened the door and entered before taking a seat at once at the round table. The waiter soon arrived with the menu.Rosalie was afraid that the little girl beside her would not be able to relax and completely focused her attention on her. She would give her some food from time to time and wipe her mouth.
There were only two people in the booth.Byron scanned the booth once before his gaze finally landed on his daughter.The little girl was feeling wronged after Rosalie upped and left all of a sudden just now but seeing her own daddy now, not only was she fearful, she even sunk her head grumpily.Byron’s gaze sunk slightly."Little lady, are you all right?"Both father and daughter were sullen, and this was where Luther, the assistant came in handy.The little girl glanced at him and turned away angrily, ignoring him.Luther scrutinized her carefully. Noting that she was safe and sound, he was relieved and turned back to report to Byron.Byron nodded and his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the woman sitting next to his daughter.When their gazes met, Mary’s heart constricted and pinched the palm of her hand, only then did she manage to keep her expression steady."Where is Rosalie?"Byron glanced over Mary’s face. Seeing her clearly, his expression sank slightly.He r
“Mommy, who is that person Byron Lawrence? Why are we hiding from him?”When Lucian and Nox saw their Mommy in a trance, they shook her hand and asked.Rosalie slowly came back to her senses. She caressed their heads and smiled as if nothing had happened. "He’s no one important, he just has a little bit of a grudge with mommy since last time. If you two hear this name in the future, you must stay away, understand?"The two nodded obediently. “We got it, Mommy.”After their mommy looked away, the two met gazes and their big eyes were full of curiosity.Whatever happened between their mommy and daddy back then, it looked like it was not some small misunderstanding!Rosalie bowed her head slightly; she was still wondering about the situation at Mary’s side when the two little boys’ voices sounded again.“Mommy, with how hurriedly we ran away just now, if that person suspects us, it will be easy for them to find us by checking the surveillance cameras,” Lucian informed kindly.Pani
Twenty minutes later.The car came to a slow halt afront the Lawrence Manor.Estie did not let anyone carry her down. She propped against the seat, got out of the car slowly, and walked ahead without saying a word.Byron followed her silently.The moment father and daughter entered through the doors; they heard a call…“Estie!”Wendy was in the living area swiping on her mobile phone leisurely. She had looked up for a glance when she heard someone come in.Seeing that it was Estie, she immediately ran over pretentiously and hugged the little girl enthusiastically. "You're finally back! Why did you run away without saying anything? I was scared! Are you okay? Are you hurt?"She even looked over the little girl's body nervously as she said this.Caught off guard by her hug, Estie was stunned for a moment.Wendy's hypocritical voice sounded in her ear and the little girl gradually recovered the coldness in her eyes.Did this woman really not know, why she ran away from home?I
The four of them returned to the villa immediately.Rosalie and the two little ones were still hungry and plowed through the food that Mary had taken away.After eating, the two boys went upstairs and showered.Mary looked at her best friend meaningfully. "I don't quite understand why you’re hiding from Byron. Didn't you two agree to divorce that time? Why are you so afraid of him now? Besides, what was the reason for your divorce? You didn't actually tell me what happened a few years ago."Meeting her gaze, Rosalie subconsciously lowered hers. She hesitated for a while before reluctantly describing the situation back then to her.“Rosalie, you sure are ballsy!”Mary did not actually expect her best friend to drug Byron and then get pregnant with his child secretly.No wonder she wanted to run after hearing Byron’s name today!Rosalie bit her lower lip bitterly. "I don't want him to know about Lucian and Nox. Moreover, when I gave him the drug, I was afraid that he still had a
