Back in her room, Rosalie’s expression turned somewhat ugly. Her mind was also empty as she sat down on the bed and spaced out.She did not think she would meet Byron here and especially did not think that Wendy would come chasing over.If the three of them were to bump into one another…Rosalie could not even imagine what would unfold.Thinking of this, Rosalie’s gaze focused as she got up and began packing her luggage.If she could not afford to trigger them, she could still afford to avoid them.Either way, she had no more business in North City. Her leaving whenever would make no difference.As she was halfway packing her things, a knock sounded on her door.Rosalie got up. When she was going to open the door, she hesitated for a moment before asking, “Who is it?”Leon’s voice sounded from outside the door. “It’s me. It’s about time for lunch. Do you want to go together?”Only after hearing this did Rosalie open the door and let Leon into the room.Seeing her almost pack
Looking at Rosalie’s leaving figure from the back, Byron’s expression tightened.The woman was still fine and dandy this morning and did not have the slightest intention of leaving. Why did she suddenly want to leave this afternoon?If his ears did not deceive him, she seemed to have mentioned something about his fiancee waiting for him in his room just now.What did she mean by this?Looking at their figures disappearing from his sight, Byron told Luther in a deep voice, "Buy tickets for the earliest flight back to Coast City."Luther affirmed.Byron turned around and strode into the elevator with a heavy expression.He wanted to see who his so-called fiancee was!That woman had said that his future wife was waiting for him in his room.Byron’s expression was cold when he opened the door. After entering the room, he glanced around the room expressionlessly but did not see anyone at all.He was just about to ask Luther to look into this when a knock sounded on his door all of
Wendy just wanted to know whether Byron came here for Rosalie by beating about the bush.Although she already had a guess, she still wanted to hear Byron explain it himself.However, she did not expect to have accidentally crossed the line.Seeing Byron's cold expression, Wendy panicked. She steeled her composure and apologized, "I said too much. Of course, you’d have your reason for staying here."With that, she tentatively asked, "When are you going to go back? Maybe we can go back together?"Byron lifted his gaze and glanced at Luther.Luther respectfully said, "Sir, the ticket has already been bought."Perhaps it was a coincidence, but there was only one first-class ticket left when he bought it.Byron leisurely got up from the sofa. "Then pack up and get ready to go."With that, Byron slid a hand into his pocket with one hand. He stood in front of the full-length window and looked downstairs from a distance.If he headed over now, he might still be able to catch up to th
An hour later, on the plane to Coast City.When Rosalie saw the man entering the hatch, her brows furrowed slightly.She thought Byron's words just now were just empty words since they had also bought their tickets in a hurry.Moreover, when she bought the tickets, she noted that there were only three more tickets left. After she bought the tickets with Leon, there was only the last one remaining. She did not expect, however, that Byron would so coincidentally buy the last ticket. Seeing the man getting closer and closer to her, regret rushed through Rosalie's eyes.She had only planned to go back by herself just now, so she went ahead and bought her ticket first. Hence, she and Leon had bought their tickets separately. They did not get the tickets for the side-by-side seats. The last ticket was for the seat beside her… Rosalie did not expect it to be Byron's seat at first and did not think of switching seats with other people.At present, she was sitting by the window, an
Some time passed, and the man's gaze still had not left her form. Rosalie furrowed her brows. She was somewhat troubled. She lifted her hand and wanted to pull up the blanket some more to cover her entire face to reduce the oppressive feeling the man's gaze brought. However, she had kept her eyes shut the entire time. When she lifted her hand, she not only did not manage to grip the blanket, but the blanket ended up being on the floor. Noticing the weight on her body having reduced all of a sudden, Rosalie could not help but freeze. She hesitated about whether or not to open her eyes and pick up the blanket.However, she then thought of her situation at the moment.If she let the man find out that she was pretending to sleep, she was afraid things would get more awkward. Without the shield of the blanket, the man's gaze on her felt way too obvious… Just as she was caught in this dilemma, there was some movement from the seat next to her.Rosalie's body instantly went taut.
It was not until the plane landed that Rosalie lifted the blanket and sat up calmly, her eyes clear and bright.Byron glanced at her and was not surprised to see the clear look on her face. A touch of self-mockery crossed his heart, but he did not say anything.Even with his present attitude, the woman was already trying so hard to avoid him. If he crossed the line again, it was possible that the woman would hide away at some place where he could not find her, just as she did six years ago.Byron did not want to scare away the person he had finally found none too easily. The person beside her sat motionlessly. Rosalie just frowned without urging him.The man only got up leisurely after most of the people had left. They got off the plane one after another. Leon and Luther were already waiting outside.Leon had seen Byron sitting next to Rosalie on the plane just now, but the plane had already taken off, so he could not do anything.Seeing Byron now, he just politely said hello
On the way back, Luther was sitting in the passenger seat as he carefully watched his master through the rearview mirror via his peripheryHe noticed that his master’s brows had not relaxed the entire journey. The atmosphere in the car was even more oppressive. One could not breathe.He had been with Byron for so long but rarely ever saw him so angry.For a while, Luther was a little confused. He did not understand what his master’s feelings for Rosalie were.If he liked her, the problem was that he was already engaged to Miss Fuller. Not to mention, he had never denied it to the outside world.If he did not like her, however…He could sense that his master had obviously changed ever since Rosalie returned to the country. He had two different attitudes toward Miss Fuller and Rosalie.When facing Miss Fuller, although his master answered every request, he barely wore any expression.When facing Rosalie, there were a lot of emotional ups and downs. Just like how he had gotten so
The car gradually stopped at the door of Rosalie's house.Thinking of the boys at home, Rosalie forced her thoughts away and thanked Leon with a smile, "Thank you for everything, Leon."Leon nodded. He watched her get out of the car and said in a deep voice, "You should think about what I said."Rosalie was stunned but nodded reluctantly.Seeing Leon's car leave, Rosalie adjusted her mood before turning to open the door.The moment she opened the door, she heard the sound of the children roughhousing with Mary.Rosalie inexplicably felt her mood improve greatly just from hearing their voices, and the smile on her face became more genuine. "Mommy!"Lucian was the first to see her and immediately got out of the scuffle. He ran over to hug her leg.Nox and Mary were still roughhousing each other. They only noticed the person at the door when they heard Lucian’s voice. They immediately stopped to welcome her.The two boys hugged her legs on each side. Rosalie smiled and caressed
