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
The little girl was wearing a blue top with lace trimmings and a white skirt. She had a big red bow on her head, and her fair face was ruddy. She was like a living version of a mini Snow White.In addition, almost everyone at the kindergarten knew that she was the apple of Byron’s eye.Seeing the little girl holding a woman's skirt pitifully, everyone looked over.Rosalie would go tender-hearted for the little girl, but noting so many people looking at them now, she felt helpless for a while. She raised her gaze and looked at Byron in the distance.The man was surrounded by several parents. He was politely talking to them about something as if he did not notice their situation here.Rosalie could only retract her gaze helplessly. She crouched down and caressed the little girl's head, "How could I not like you, Estie? You’re such a good child."Estie sniffled through her nose and complained in a childlike voice, "Aunt no come recently. Estie misses Aunt."Rosalie's heart softened
After everyone arrived, Miss Leigh Ann called everyone to gather.She requested everyone to get on the bus in order of the list they filled up the night before.Rosalie remained at the end with two boys.All the students in the class were only children. Only Rosalie had two children. Hence, their seats were arranged in the back row.Teacher Leigh Ann called Lucian’s and Nox's names, then looked up to confirm their attendance when she saw the person standing next to Rosalie."President Lawrence, uhhh… Does Estelle want to go too?"Byron nodded noncommittally. "Estelle wants to participate."Hearing this, Miss Leigh Ann was a little embarrassed. "But..."Estie had never participated in these activities in the past, so she had thought that Estie would not participate either this time. She did not make arrangements for Estie and Byron regardless of it were seats or hotel rooms.Byron frowned deeply, "What's the problem?""Because you've never participated before, I didn't think y
As soon as Byron sat down with Estie in his arms, he felt the little girl moving around. He frowned in confusion.Estie looked at Rosalie eagerly.Aunt had not held her for a long time, so she also wanted Aunt to hold her.Moreover, Daddy carrying her was not comfortable at all.Rosalie wanted to ignore both father and daughter, but being stared at by the little girl, she had to turn around and take a look."Aunt." Estie stretched out her hand to her, wanting Rosalie to carry her.Byron noticed that the woman was already struggling to carry one child. He tightened his arms and trapped the little girl in his arms. "Estelle, don't fuss."Estie was feeling more and more uncomfortable and struggled even, "Aunt hug!"Some people had already noticed the movement back here.Rosalie did not want to attract any more attention, so she nodded to the man. "Give her to me. I'll hold her."With that, she stretched her hand out to Estie.Estie went into her hug almost immediately.After h
At this point, there was no other solution. Byron nodded and complied.Miss Leigh Ann called the parents together and asked who would be able to accommodate Byron.Estie grabbed her daddy's hand and immediately looked at Rosalie after hearing the teacher's words.She wanted to stay with the beautiful aunt.With Byron's status put out there and his unworldly attractiveness, a group of parents soon surrounded him, saying that Byron could stay with him.Even a few women came together with their children.Estie had not fully recovered from her autism yet. Being surrounded by a group of strange adults, her small face gradually turned pale.When Byron was not noticing, the little girl broke away from his hand and ran away. Rosalie just so happened to be standing outside the circle, waiting. Just then, the little girl bumped into her arms and looked at her with eager eyes."What happened, Estie?" Seeing the little girl's face, Rosalie could not help feeling worried.Estie grabbed h
