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
After dinner, Rosalie and Yves separated and went home respectively.When Rosalie returned, Lisa had already picked the boys up. They were sitting on the carpet with Lego blocks.Seeing her come in, two boys greeted her happily.Rosalie caressed their heads and asked with concern, "Have you eaten?"The kids nodded obediently and looked at their mommy eagerly. "Mommy, Miss Leigh Ann said she’ll be taking us out to plant trees this weekend."Rosalie was stunned when they brought this up. She smiled at the boys as she glanced down at them. "Yes, I know about it too."After saying that, she went into the living room as if nothing had happened. The boys followed their mommy step by step all the way to the carpeted area of the living room.Rosalie crouched down and fiddled with the Lego blocks that the boys were putting together. She looked a little troubled.She had been thinking the entire journey back, and her final conclusion was the same. As long as she participated, she would
Lawrence Manor.Byron had gone to fetch Estelle back. Only then did he see the message in the group chat. He frowned for a bit.The little girl had been looking at him the entire journey home just now as if she had something she wanted to say.It should have something to do with this tree planting activity."Are you guys going to be having a tree planting activity?" Byron took the initiative to ask during dinner.Hearing her daddy actually bringing it by himself, Estie nodded excitedly.She wanted to bring it up to her daddy when they were in the car just now, but then she thought about how he had refused the past class activities. She did not really know how to bring it up to him in a way that he would let her go.Seeing the girl’s look of expectation, Byron's gaze dimmed slightly. He could probably guess the reason for the change in the little one’s temperament.It was not the first time the kindergarten held parent-child activities like this. In the past, he had been busy wi
The weekend soon arrived.Rosalie took the boys to the kindergarten early.This was the first time the boys were taking part in group activities. They could not help being a little curious. They looked around while Rosalie held onto their hands.One after another, the children came to say hello to them. They also responded to them one by one.Only then did Rosalie realize how popular her two boys were at kindergarten."Aunt!"A small, childlike voice came from behind her all of a sudden. Rosalie had not seen Estie for a long time and missed her so much deep down. Hearing her voice, she smiled out of habit and turned around, wanting to hug the little one.The moment she turned around, she met the man’s gaze. Rosalie's face stiffened slightly, and the smile on her face became much fainter. She only raised her hand to touch the little girl's head. "Good morning, Estelle."With that, she looked up at the man in front of her. "Good morning, President Lawrence."Since it was an ou
