Chapter 207 I'm Not Interested In Someone Who Turns Back
Although she drove as fast as she could, when she reached the cafe, Wendy was already sitting there waiting. “Miss Jacobs, you’re indeed a busy woman. It took you long enough to get there.” The moment she saw her, Wendy started to mock her. Rosalie sat opposite Wendy and genuinely apologized, “My apologies. I was really busy this morning. Thank you for waiting so long.” That being said, she noticed that Wendy wanted to mock her more. However, she did not want to waste time and said, “Miss Fuller, you probably know by now that I’m really busy. Let’s just cut to the chase. I still have to get back to work after this.” Hearing so, Wendy’s words were choked back down her throat. Her expression turned cold. “Don’t you already know what I want to say? My marriage with Byron has been publicized for so long. It’ll be a joke if you don’t know about it!”Rosalie had expected her to mention this, yet she did not show any strange looks on her face. “I do know it, and you have my blessi
Chapter 208 Not In A Good Mood
The time she got out of the cafe was way earlier than she expected. When she got into the car, Rosalie held the steering wheel without starting the engine. Her brain was messed up. After staying abroad for six years, she thought that she could be ignorant about whatever had happened back then. However, she did not expect to still be affected when Wendy mentioned it.In fact, she did not know the existence of Wendy when she married Byron back then. If she did…Thinking of her infatuation with Byron back then, Rosalie bit her lower lip mockingly, thinking that she might still marry him shamelessly.Yet, the happier she was to marry him, the more miserable she became when she left him. Who would have imagined the only time they actually slept together after getting married for so long was the time she drugged him?Plus, she had to leave in her worst condition the next morning. Now that she thought about it, she found the previous her to be pitiful and pathetic. What was mo
Chapter 209 Stop Overthinking
”Mommy, aren’t you happy?‘On the way back home, the two boys stared at her caringly.She was taken aback.She thought that she had concealed her emotions well in front of the kids, but they still managed to see through her.“What is it?” She took a glance at the two boys behind and asked as though there was something going on. Lucian frowned with confusion on his face. “You didn’t talk to Estie just now. Did Mr. Byron annoy you again?”Hearing the kids mentioning Byron, Rosalie felt complicated. She had no idea how close she had gotten to Byron during this period of time that the boys had such a misunderstanding.Nox agreed. “Estie was about to cry earlier.”Hearing that, Rosalie could not help but frown. She felt a brief heartache. Although she did not see it with her own eyes, she could imagine how pitiful the little girl looked. She would want to say a proper goodbye to the little girl if she could.However, she really had to cut all ties with Byron after hearing wh
Chapter 210 Let’s Grab A Drink?
Rosalie was initially worried about the two boys, but Mary said that she had already mentioned it to Lisa.Plus, the two had already reached the entrance of the bar.Rosalie did not hesitate further and went in with her. Mary was obviously a frequent customer here as there were already people welcoming her the second they entered. They brought them to a table near the dance floor. Surrounded by the deafening music and handsome men and beautiful women dancing, Rosalie slowly let go of herself in the hot atmosphere.“Tonight’s bill is on me. Let’s have fun!” Mary shouted beside her. That being said, they ordered a bottle of liquor that cost more than 10,000 dollars. Mary poured a glass for Rosalie. “There’s plenty of fish in the sea. We shall not be obsessed with only one of them!”Rosalie took the glass and downed it in one shot. Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Mary smiled in satisfaction. She had drunk a few times with Rosalie back in college and knew that although Rosal
Chapter 211 That Isn't Unreasonable
Rosalie frowned slightly and was about to refuse when Mary squeezed her way out of the dance floor. She sat down boldly next to Rosalie and scrutinized the man.He looked well-mannered enough. His features were well-defined even under the dim lighting of the bar. He was not exactly muscular, but he was not skinny either. His entire outfit probably cost about fifteen thousand dollars. She rated him an eight, just about.Mary did not give Rosalie a chance to turn him down after that. She said brightly, "Sure! Do you have any other friends? They can come along too!"The man's seat was right next to theirs. He noticed the ladies when they stood up to dance, and he knew that they had come here together. Since Mary had given him the green light, he turned around and called his friends over. All of them looked handsome enough, and they were dressed in branded goods too. When they came over, they brought the expensive wine bottles on their table with them. The men were respectful of the
Chapter 212 I'll Take You Up On Your Offer
At the same time, in the VIP room upstairs, Byron was expressionless as he watched a bunch of pot-belled middle-aged men toasting to one another.When he picked Estie up that afternoon, she had been feeling very down. When they reached home, she even threw a tantrum at him.Byron could guess why she was in a bad mood. It was probably because she had not been able to meet that woman, or rather, the fact that the woman had become so distant to her.The root of the problem lay with him, though. That woman was keeping her distance from Estie because of him. As a result, Byron had been in a bad mood all night too.The middle-aged men had been discussing for hours now, yet they could not come up with a proposition he could accept. Byron's impatience grew."Go on, you lot. I'm going out for some fresh air," Byron said coldly, standing up. The other men did not dare to stop him, watching him leave awkwardly.The room was overlooking the dance floor. When Byron stepped out, his gaze
Chapter 213 I Owe You One
Everyone was taken aback by that voice. Rosalie stiffened slightly. She knew that man too well. She could imagine how cold his expression was now from the sound of his voice alone.Besides, she did not know how to face the man behind her after everything that had happened lately.By then, however, Byron had walked up to them. Hans noticed him and then followed his gaze to Rosalie. His expression shifted slightly. "President Lawrence, what are you…?"He was not aware of any other woman in Byron's life other than Wendy Fuller.However, the way Byron looked at the woman next to him aroused his suspicions.Byron recalled the way Rosalie had clinked her glass with his earlier, and his gaze on Hans was completely cold. "Master Reed, you should be careful when you pick up women in bars. You should at least avoid women with children."He looked at Rosalie as he said that. Hans was stunned to hear that. Rosalie had children? He could not tell at all.Rosalie did not expect Byro
Chapter 214 Wouldn’t Know How to Compensate
They made it back to her manor. As Rosalie was about to help Mary out of the car, the man in front of them suddenly spoke up.“If you’re worried about the kids, why did you go to a place like that?”His expression in the rearview mirror was slightly cold.Rosalie paused and said, “You make it sound like going to a bar is highly immoral, President Lawrence. Weren’t you there too?”Byron said, “I was there for work, Miss Jacobs. Unlike you, I wasn’t surrounded by such pleasurable company.”He was not hiding his hostility at all. Rosalie could not help but frown, recalling his words earlier at the bar.“You’re a mother of two now, so I advise you to stay away from such vices. Even if you don’t care about your reputation, what about your children? If they knew their mother had gone to a place like that, having a good time with men she barely knew, I wonder what they would think,” Byron said softly.This was not their first time discussing this topic.Maybe it was the wine, but Rosa
