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
After Byron returned from North City, he immediately returned to the company. After settling all the work from the past two days, it was already evening.After returning to the manor, he saw Estie spread out on the table in the living room, drawing wholeheartedly.Seeing him return, the little girl put down her pen and walked over to him on her little legs.Byron leaned over and caressed the little girl's head. "Did you miss Daddy?"Estie nodded.Seeing this, a smile made its way onto Byron's face. He stood up and called for Mrs. Zora before asking her about how Estie had been the past two days.He was relieved to learn that the girl had been good these two days.After greeting him, Estie ran back to the table, picked up her pen, and continued to draw.Byron glanced over and saw five people drawn on the paper. The hands of two boys were held by a long-haired woman in a long skirt, while the little girl’s hand was held by a tall man in black.Byron had guessed who the child was
The second day after returning from North City, Rosalie devoted herself to work at the research institute.She went to North City for two days and had entrusted everything here to Yves, which had also exhausted him.By the end of work in the evening, Rosalie and Yves walked out side by side.Yves joked, "Dr. Jacobs, you left me and had two days off. Don’t you plan on thanking me properly?"Hearing this, Rosalie faintly smiled. "Yes, I should. I happen to be free this evening. Let's have dinner together."Yves had mentioned having dinner with Rosalie several times, but she refused every time. He also knew that she just regarded him as an ordinary colleague, so he no longer insisted.Hearing Rosalie mention it of her own accord now, he also understood that she was just expressing her gratitude for these past two days. Hence, he took advantage of the situation and agreed. "Then, I humbly accept."The two drove separately. After Rosalie got into the car, she texted Lisa, asking her
